Severin Films, with sales and distribution support provided by MVD Entertainment Group, has come up with a stunning Blu-ray collection that will have genre-fans salivating with anticipation of its arrival on May 25.
Titled, The Eurocrypt of Christopher Lee Collection, this eight-disc set, with a bonus CD as well, includes five of his films from the 1960s that were produced outside of England … on the European Continent.
It is not so much what Severin Films has included in this collection, which is terrific on its own merits, but the bonus features that are attached to each of the films, but the extra “extras” that make this a must-have Blu-ray collection come the end of May.
Included in the five-film selected by Severin are director Thomas Miller’s (aka: Camillo Mastrocinque) Crypt of the Vampire (1964, with Adriana Ambesi and Ursula Davis), the 1964 release of Castle of the Living Dead (1965 English-dubbed domestic theatrical arrival featuring Gala Germani and newcomer Donald Sutherland), Sherlock Holmes and the Deadly Necklace (1962), director Harald Reinl’s 1967 (domestic – 1969) horror tale, The Torture Garden of Dr. Sadism and the ultra-rare 1963 Euro-horror haunted castle thriller, Challenge the Devil.
The bonus goodies include commentaries, numerous featurettes, multi-language versions and the 24 surviving episodes of Theatre Macabre (from 1971/72).
Fans of Christopher Lee can literally spend an entire evening with each of the five films, watching the bonus features, the interviews, listening to the commentary tracks, and, of course enjoying the films themselves. Christopher Lee, need we say more?
