THE GOLDEN AGE OF THE GOTHIC: Exploring THE LONG HAIR OF DEATH

"If you're a fan and scholar of that very special brand of shuddery, gothic thriller that emerged from Italy in the 1960's then there's no point over-preaching the goosebump-inducing gospel of director Antonio Margheriti's THE LONG HAIR OF DEATH. Chances are, you're already of the choir. You understand and value that preternatural power of this film and other of its ilk. You revere that blend of pulp thrills, rich, practical production design, covert eroticism and operatic emotional arcs that marked the best of these remarkable pictures........"

I've often wondered if this film influenced THE WICKER MAN a little.

Those stills look promising, I hope it pans out that way. The old Raro Italy dvd was pretty rough looking.

That is one long ass trailer...but cool. Never seen that before anywhere, making it special even if it's a weak trailer. :)
Next how about ANGEL FOR SATAN with the English audio track ? A HD scan of THE GHOST?

I can't wait for this. I'd love to see more horror like this come to BD.

I've never bought this one on DVD and, in fact, haven't seen it since the early/mid-1990s (first as part of BBC2's MovieDrome; and the second time via a German television broadcast), owing the lack of a decent DVD release rather than an absence of desire to revisit it. I've ordered the Blu-ray, and hopefully it should arrive not long after Christmas. I'm looking forward to seeing the film again :)

I did a spot check through each chapter stop and it looks great to me.
