Along with some other long awaited "classics"....

"At the CinEvent Film Conference in Columbus I ran into reps from studios that are releasing some classics for the Halloween season this year (Thank you Michael, Jessica and friends). Three classic horror box sets are coming to DVD this fall. One from Columbia and one from Fox. The Columbia set will include The Werewolf (1956 with Steven Rich), Creature With the Atom Brain(1955 with Richard Denning), Zombies of Mora Tau (1957), The Giant Claw (1957) and one other title to yet announced. The suggested retail price will be around 24.95. They will not be released separtately. The Fox set will include Chandu the Magician (1932 with Bela Lugosi as Roxor), The Undying Monster (1942, Fox's answer to The Wolf Man), The Lodger (1944 with Laird Cregar), Hangover Square (1945, also with Cregar) and Man Hunt (1941 with Walter Pidgeon, Joan Bennett, George Sanders, John Carradine and Roddy McDowell). Finally Kino will be packaging some of their horrors in a new box set (all previously released on single discs)."

Great!!! I've been waiting for the Columbia titles to be released on DVD ever since "20 million miles to Earth" and "It came from beneath the sea" came out..."The Werewolf" is one of my favorite versions of the myth, and I always thought it was underrated...And I saw "Creature with the atom Brain" a few months ago on cable and I discovered it holds up pretty well,it remains interesting and well done after all this time.

yes, I remember we had a VERY abbreviated version 5 minutes of The Werewolf on a Super 8mm film when I was a kid but then I never saw it again until I found a nice collectors copy a year ago. It is probably Colombia's best monster flick and was sadly neglected over the years as it was never even released on VHS. Lookin' forward to it!!
