Two of the best Vincent Price films are coming to blu-ray:

Vincent Price a legend , abomnible dr Phibes one of my favourite films

I've got this on pre order with Arrow for £19.99
I pretty much buy anything Arrow put out.
Their stuff is treated with real respect and the extras are always amazing.

It's the extras that interest me on this one. I wish they would release further details of what's on there - I don't want to waste my money if there's just a film which I already have on dvd.
An old-school, no-bullshit, boys-own action/adventure comic reminiscent of the 2000ads and Eagles and Warlords and Battles and other glorious black-and-white comics that were so, so cool in the 70's and 80's - Buy the hardback Christmas Annual!

I love Vincent Price movies.

These two aren't my favourites of his (Theatre of Blood is a similar idea, but better, imho) but it's still wonderful that they going to be available on blu-ray.

Yeah... I always have to actively remind myself that Theatre of Blood isn't a Phibes movie...

Although easily the worst thing in both films are the scenes - and there are way too many of them - with Phibes 'talking' to his (apparent) deaf-mute companion. Yes, that's an actor miming to his own off-screen voice talking to a character that never replies. And the seconds tick by like hours in them.

It's worse in the second film, where these scenes are used to explain the same exposition several times over. Dear God.

Daveycandlish

Ah but any film that has Terry Thomas in it is worth a watch :-)

M.I.K.

She's certainly not very talkative, but it's never occurred to me that Vulnavia might be deaf.

On the other hand, I've always wondered if she's even meant to be human.

The Phibes are great fun, and hopefully the new bluray's will be something special, but id give anything for a Theatre of Blood special edition bluray.

Make it happen Arrow!

they usually do a great job, commentary by the league of gentlemen should be fun. Pit and the pendulum due a release this year as well.
