By Brenden ⋅ July 4, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

It was way back in October of last year that we broke the news that Severin was planning a Blu-ray release of the classic fright-film, Horror Express. And now, several months later, we’ve finally got the disc details and package art to share with you. I’m super excited about this bad boy, as it’s the only Christopher Lee/Peter Cushing film to show any signs of being on Blu in the near future. It might not be one of the their coveted Hammer films but at this point I’ll take what I can get. And, seeing as how Horror Express will be a Severin release, there’s a guarantee that this will be something special. The disc will be on store shelves on September 27th. …Continued…

Severin Films have slyly announced, via this YouTube trailer release, that they will be bringing the rare Peter Cushing and Cristopher Lee travelogue of terror, Horror Express to Blu-ray in the new year.

But here we are now, a little light on titles overall but with some quality Blu-ray discs nonetheless. Guess which boxed set I’m most excited about this week… …Continued…
