I can't believe I forgot to mention these. Here's an update to the below news article: Synapse now hopes to have VAMPIRE CIRCUS out in December and TWINS OF EVIL in January, and it's reported that these region 1 transfers are supposed to put the U.K. ones to shame. Now, that's Synapse, not me, saying that. Just to be clear. No word on when HANDS OF THE RIPPER, or HAMMER HOUSE OF HORROR series will be coming out. Bet on it for 2011, though.
They're also working on a special uncut edition of THE DORM THAT DRIPPED BLOOD, but I have no interest in that title. Some of you might though. January release planned for that one, too.
I think that's it for late breaking news, unless something new gets mentioned in the next few days, or hours. Now, I must hunt through your site for some werewolf threads I want to lend my two cents to.

Fans of Hammer Films’ 1970s outings will rejoice that DVD outfit Synapse Films has acquired the rights to four titles from the library of the classic British horror studio. Among them are three features that have never previously been available on optical disc in the U.S.
Synapse’s Don May Jr. gave us the scoop that they’ve picked up Robert Young’s VAMPIRE CIRCUS, John Hough’s TWINS OF EVIL and Peter Sasdy’s HANDS OF THE RIPPER, along with the classic 13-episode TV series HAMMER HOUSE OF HORROR. “We have new high-definition transfers of all three features,” May tells Fango. “Supplement producer Daniel Griffith is working with us on extras, including—so far—interviews with filmmaker and Hammer fan Joe Dante and FLESH AND BLOOD: THE HAMMER HERITAGE OF HORROR writer/director Ted Newsom. Other possible interviews and extras are in the works, including theatrical trailers and TV spots. It’s very possible we will be putting out the three features on Blu-ray as well. If we do, we’ll announce both the DVD and Blu-ray releases at the same time. All 13 episodes of HAMMER HOUSE OF HORROR will be released in a DVD boxed set. The plan is to have these available in third quarter 2010.” Keep your eyes here for details as they become available.

I mean I replaced the whole of the star trek original series for the same price as they want for 1 season of Space 1999!
