Same here. Early word is the transfer is phenomenal. Looking forward to this monster mash.

I've never seen a Naschy film. A combination of snobbery and indifference, I suppose. But I looked this one up and it seems interesting and fun.

I love Naschy movies.

Not sure i want to see this in high def, those CGI effects...

"HIGH-OCTANE ACTION THRILLER..." – Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times

Snake is back! Kurt Russell rejoins filmmakers John Carpenter and Debra Hill to do to Los Angeles what they did to the Big Apple in Escape From New York – with even more futuristic thrills and big action!

Into the 9.6-quaked Los Angeles of 2013 comes Snake Plissken (Russell). His job: wade through L.A.'s ruined landmarks to retrieve a doomsday device. Don't miss the excitement as Snake surfs Wilshire Blvd., shoots hoops at the Coliseum, dive bombs the Happy Kingdom theme park, and mixes it up with a wild assortment of friends and foes including Stacy Keach, Steve Buscemi, Bruce Campbell, Peter Fonda, George Corraface, Cliff Robertson and Pam Grier. Escape From L.A. is a "go-for-broke action extravaganza" (Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun Times)!

that movie is just painfully bad. I tried watching recently on one of the movie channels and couldn't sit through it. the effects look like what they used in Plan 9 from Outer Space. the acting is bad, the effects are bad, the movie just really sucks

A few years ago i bought a new tv and put "Escape" on just to test it out, I hadn't seen it since the theatre. Yeah, the effects were particularly dated. The film itself, I don't hate it but i won't deny that it's something of a failure.

I've never seen it, and with all the negativity surrounding it, I'm not sure I want to. I think Carpenter peaked with They Live.

Frozen in ice, can the creature be brought back to live again?

Horror great Peter Cushing stars in this fantastic tale as the monster's creator, Baron von Frankenstein, determined to bring the creature back to life. Long thought destroyed, Dr. Frankenstein's creation is discovered frozen alive and resurrected back in his laboratory. Unfortunately, the creature's mind is dormant and, much to the Baron's horror, he finds that only a hypnotist can order the creature to do his unfathomable bidding now.

^That's an interesting one. You can't make it fit with the other Hammers at all. It's more of a Universal/Hammer hybrid, like a spiritual sequel to both. It's too bad Kiwi Kingston's makeup is so crude as well. A big step down from Lee's look in the first Hammer Frankenstein.

It's my FIRST Frankenstein movie (oddly it played on Christmas day), I kind of thought it was Karloff as a kid. So obviously, I have more love than others for it.

I gotta admit though, Scream Factory doesn't spend much on the cover art. I'd prefer the original poster to that.

And on the same day, Scream Has Announced Danger: Diabolik! At last!

[palitoy]

Oh i didn't catch that, that'll be a must own.

There cover art is kind of deceptive. I thought it was digitally manipulated photos, but apparently they are the work of a painter named Mark Maddox.

Some of his stuff is really great, other pieces do look like manipulated photos, I obviously could be wrong.

^I'm still a little fuzzy on them myself. I do think the original poster are often more striking and era-appropriate, no matter the talent of the newer artists.
