Coming to
the home entertainment format for the first time in the
UK this October are two highly sought after Hammer
classics, The Brides of Dracula and The Evil
of Frankenstein.
Previously
the films have only been able to purchase on import, and
both are currently featured on the no-frills Hammer
Horror Series boxset from Universal in the US. This will
be the first time that either film has been available in
an English-speaking region as an individual disc.
We've been
sent the cover art for each title, which is published
below. At the time of writing possible extras have not
been confirmed, but here at unofficialhammerfilms.com we
have been advised that each film will feature a
cleaned-up print and a theatrical trailer as a minimum.
There may also be a gallery and a booklet. Fans may like
to voice their thoughts by emailing us at hammer@avalard.com.
The dvds
are currently scheduled for release on 22nd October, by
dvd newcomer Showbox Entertainment with an RRP of
£12.99. They will be Pal encoded, although region coding
has not yet been confirmed.
As soon as
major online retailers include the titles in their
pre-orders we will post links on the front page of the
site, and on this page.
