Full Moon just sent over these clips and this art...

All three are due 9/18/12 and if you get all three from Full Moon direct, Charles Band will sign them.

You can pre-order the Blu-ray's here and the DVD's here.

I dunno why the text in that post is tiny and blue but I don't care enough to fix it. Regardless, I'd like to see Full Moon do more with thier catalogue in HD. Castle Freak would be a very, very welcome addition.

The evil puppets have a wide reach.

I'd be interested in CASTLE FREAK too.

CASTLE FREAK is getting a Blu-ray release in the UK from 88 Films

Dig that cover. Hopefully a domestic release will follow quickly, but if the price is right on that import, I might have to bite.

Yes, a US release is coming.

Shawn, do you know the release date of the US CASTLE FREAK Blu-ray?

No, I wish I did. Here's an excerpt from the press release, though, from DREAD CENTRAL. So, just know it IS coming. I keep checking Amazon and Band's site every so often for signs of it:

"On September 18th, 2012, the premiere Full Moon Blu-ray releases will be the first three Puppetmaster films, available individually and as a three-disc set. Subsequent releases will include sequels from the Subspecies and Trancers franchises, as well as classic films directed by Stuart Gordon such as Pit and the Pendulum starring Lance Henkrisen and Castle Freak starring Jeffrey Combs."

I would imagine the cover art would be the same, too. I've heard 88 Films is Band's overseas distributor.

Ooooh, PIT AND THE PENDULUM Blu-ray

Excellent news. Their first Blu-ray releases weren't mind blowingly great, here's hoping these are better. I'm not completely nuts over everything Full Moon has done but they really do have a few serious gems in their library that would totally benefit from a good HD upgrade.

I assume the trailers are remastered, right? I didn't see much of a difference though in terms of quality.

Their PR dept. just sent out a link to the commentary preview for Puppet Master 2:

Impressed with the Puppet Master 2 clip, I have to say.

Band's 88 Films in the UK will be releasing CASTLE FREAK on blu and DVD in January, and as an extra feature they are adding his THE EVIL CLERGYMAN short film to it, which was initially set for release separately over here early next month. No sign of it's pre-order up anywhere. I'm guessing FREAK will be coming out here in Jan as well.
