Great to hear that these are getting re-released, have been wanting to see Whistle and I'll Come to You and A Warning to the Curious for a while now but the DVDs are so expensive

WOOOOO HOOOOO :woot: . . .

:dance:

Great news! :thumb:

I wish they were releasing Ghost Stories For Christmas read by Christopher Lee. :(

Maybe if these sell well... :pray:

Extras include:

Ghost Stories for Christmas with Christopher Lee – ‘The Stalls of Barchester by MR James’ (Eleanor Yule, 2000, 30 mins): Christopher Lee recreates MR James’ famous soirees, at which the antiquary would read his tales of the supernatural to eager undergraduates.
Ghost Stories for Christmas with Christopher Lee – ‘A Warning to the Curious by MR James’ (Eleanor Yule, 2000, 30 mins): Christopher Lee plays MR James in this dramatic reconstruction of one of the author’s famous Christmas readings.

:o Thanks Slippery Jack.

I saw them available on Amazon a couple of days ago and never actually read Suzi's post. :blush:

One October box set preorder coming up.:nod:

I have the Aussie set so it's really great the BFI are releasing the only ones not on it (Signalman,Stigma & The Ice House) together on one volume.:)

I'm looking forwards to these releases though I normally avoid anything with ghosts as they tend to scare the shit out of me for some reason.:behindsofa:

Your new avatar is much scarier. ;)

I watch The Signalman every year, when it is suitably cold and dark outside. I just wish it was one big collection rather than 4 dvds.

HELOOOOOO BELOOOOOW

Creepy stuff. Can't beat the Michael Horden Whistle. Thought the John Hurt version was a big letdown . . .

Everyone catered for :clap: . . .

Fantastic! Why didn't I spot that?!?!

Just noticed is was wrong link i put earlier meant to put this

M.R. James Collection ~ The Complete Ghost Stories Of 5DVDS PAL REGION 0: Amazon.co.uk: Film & TV

That's the Ozzie release though innit? Hoping the BFI set will have classier artwork . . .

Good news! The upcoming BFI releases are newly remastered editions!

The Stalls of Barchester - A Warning to the Curious

:clap::clap::clap: can't wait . . .

I wonder what BFI have got lined up for there Q4 season. More horror possibly?
Brit horror is so much fun to watch. Most of it.:pop2:

Got these delivered today!:woot:
Excellent packages from the BFI as usual.
I got sick of phoning various HMV's to no avail....:crazy:

If you don't mind me asking why didn't you wait for the box set in October?

Is it inferior to the individual releases?

Patience ain't my forte mate......GOTTA HAVE NOW! :happy:

The box set is now a bargain £26 on Amazon pre order.

Hurry it won't stay at this for long.

Very nice.

Going to Edinburgh tomorrow.
I'll need to pick up the latest two.:nod:

I watched the John Hurt version of 'Whistle'-superb!

I thought it was rubbish, the original kicked its ass in every department . . .

I agree I thought it was a dreadful version of the story.

Each to their own.
I enjoyed it.

I liked how the older version was shown on 'Omnibus' anyone else remember that?

Picked up the latest two yesterday.
Edinburgh prices.£21 each! :lol:

Oy vey

Looks like The Stone Tape is getting re released....never seen it though

Ghost Stories from the BBC: The Stone Tape [DVD]: Amazon.co.uk: Film & TV

im buying this box set, i was going to buy them seperate then i saw the complete collection - hence its easier having them in 1 box

Great stuff, have been wanting to see it for ages but the DVD goes for crazy money online.

I got lucky with the play as my wife picked it up from Age Uk for £3.00 a few years back.Creepy stuff & well worth buying.

Yep - agreed. I originally saw this on the telly as a kid ( it was shown on Boxing Day! ) and it frightened the crap out of me! Still very creepy and atmospheric today. Recommended.

I havent seen any of them but I want to as everyones says they are really good, plus the Whistle story was featured in the Top 100 Scary Moments so im waiting until the lot come in 1 box so i can have a Halloween being scared of atmosphere
