HORROR EXPRESS Trailer - Coming to DVD & Blu-ray from Severin Films in 2011!

Since their awe-inspiring collaboration in Hammer's groundbreaking The Curse Of Frankenstein in 1957, Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee were destined to join the privileged ranks of cinema's great horror stars alongside Boris Karloff, Bela Lugosi, Peter Lorre, Vincent Price and Lon Chaney. Severin Films will be paying tribute to their macabre celluloid partnership by giving the Special Edition treatment to not one but two of their finest fright flicks: Horror Express and The House That Dripped Blood.

Horror Express, also starring Kojak himself Telly Savalas, was written and produced in Spain by McCarthy era blacklistees to make use of a train purchased for director Eugenio Martin's previous movie, Pancho Villa. The unlikely result was a masterwork of early 70s Euro-horror packed with wit, atmosphere and brainsucking, eye draining, Cossack maiming bloodshed. The House That Dripped Blood is one of the great Amicus anthology films featuring a smorgasbord of cult talent: Jon "Dr. Who" Pertwee, Ingrid "Countess Dracula" Pitt, Denholm Elliott, Joss Ackland and Geoffrey Bayldon in a quartet of gruesome tales penned by PSYCHO-scribe Robert Bloch.

Expect new hi-def transfers to present these terrifying gems as you've never seen them before. Details on our astounding roster of special features to follow.

Saw this as a child back in the 80's on I think channel 9 maybe Elvira cause she had some cool ass movies back in the day! Reality TV aint got shit on this. They aint got no Telly Savalas! The real Kojak..

Horror Express was my first Horror movie ever to see . I was 14 when i sow it . At first i didn't know what genre it was . But when i first saw the eyes of them it scarred the sh*t out of me and i turned off the tv :). I was in the room with my and she told me if i don't want to see it just let it be. After a few minutes iturned back the tv i wanted to watch because it was the first time that i was experiencing something new , it gave me the hibby gibbys and i still wanted to see.

I'll never forget when I first saw HORROR EXPRESS: it was on WGTW Channel 48 Burlington/Philadelphia, on a snowy Sunday evening, and since then HORROR EXPRESS has stuck with me. I can't wait until my Blu-Ray/DVD combo of HORROR EXPRESS arrives!

Hi guys anyone knows when this film will be available to DVD??

[ArchaicEnchanter]

I wouldn't say it's underrated, more under-appreciated. Which hopefully the Severin release will rectify.

[hopndrop1]
