Has Hammer:The Studio That Dripped Blood Documentary ever been released in the UK on DVD on it's own or as part of a box set?

Awesome movie. Anybody without this film in their collection should rectify that situation.

Before this film was released on DVD, I saw a print at a cinema showing and was well impressed.
Guy Rolfe sat in on the screening.

Thanks for the recommendations. I've just ordered it along with Timber Falls (a blind buy) and a couple of Buster Keaton DVDs.

Anyone got The Curse Of Frankenstein Blu ray?
I heard that the picture quality is bad and that the old Warner DVD was better.
That's why I have not bought the title and still have the DVD.

What's the word?

loads of different opinions. i personally think it is a slight upgrade but out of all the Hammer blus its the worst picture wise, but at least its in the correct aspect ratio unlike some of the Final Cut releases.

it does have the rarely seen Stolen Face (standard def) as an extra so its a good purchase if you are a Hammer completist. its an interesting early effort but a bit of a yawn tbh.

Stolen Face is on The Mummy.

It's The Four Sided Triangle on Curse.

Both have been released before. On the Hammer Noir box set #1 in the case of Stolen Face and DD released The Four Sided Triangle ages ago with a lovely booklet.

As for the aspect ratio of Brides of Dracula and Night Creatures from Final Cut and Universal? Both are in the wrong aspect ratio. Stick with the dvd's.
