Thanks, saw it on the Hammer FB page as well.
When I read last week they were still working on extras, that release date seemed tight to get all 8 films ready.

Not sure if they'll honor it or not as it's probably a pricing mistake but Zavvi has the upcoming Hammer House Of Horror Blu-ray set on sale for $8.83.

From the Wicked Vision FB page:

"Next year we'll be releasing the legendary documentary FLESH & BLOOD: THE HAMMER HERITAGE OF BLOOD in its complete 156 minute version. It will be included as a bonus-dvd with another Hammer Film-Production, that we will release in 2018 as a german HD-premiere. More info coming soon. Included with the documentary will be an introduction by director Ted Newsom, that, to put it blunt, moved us to tears, and is bound to move you too! So get ready for a documentary that had been in the making for more than 20 years, the definite chronicle of Hammer Films!"

From Wicked Vision's FB page:

Dear Visionaries,

While we let it go well this weekend at the house of horror, we want to introduce you to the subject of our first march title for 2018

A Series. A German HD premiere. A Hammer Production.
We're talking about hammer house of horror.

From March as a 4-Disc Set with the legendary documentary flesh & Blood: Hammer Heritage of horror in strictly limited mediabook. It is not yet 100 % but probably there is also a small keep case edition.

We wish you a nice weekend and a lot of fun with the short clip. The music comes from the other one, one of our personal bands from the area of horror punk. Theother will also be featured in the House of Horrors this weekend. Check out her new album " Casket Case It's worth it.

HORROR OF FRANKENSTEIN is underrated. Kate O'Mara looks great and is fun to watch. I still only have it on Anchor Bay VHS!

[SuperDevilDoctor Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close SuperDevilDoctor]

Kate O'Mara looks great...

Yes, indeed, she does... She's the best thing in the movie.

[John Bernhard Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close John Bernhard]

The image on the new Blu is very good, Kate is almost 3D in a few scenes.

Need to get DEVIL @ some point to complete the new Studio Canal titles ( I have the 7 Blu German set ).

How is the quality on the Studio Canal films? I'm interested in To the Devil, a Daughter. I've always liked that film.
