DVD Active reports that Blue Underground has announced the release of Luci Fulci’s The Black Cat, based on the tale from Edgar Alan Poe. Patrick Magee, David Warbeck, Mimsy Farmer, and Al Cliver star in the atmospheric horror thriller, which has apparently been completely restored from original negative materials and presented in widescreen, and Dolby Digital Mono. Extras include a trailer and Fulci Bio. In addition, Blue Underground will be releasing Lucio Fulci’s House by the Cemetery this April. From the specs this appears to be the same OOP DVD that Anchor Bay released years ago, including an anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 widescreen transfer, a Dolby Surround 2.0 soundtrack, Trailers, TV Spots, Bios, and a Picture Gallery. Both DVDs will be available for a limited time only. Read on for the cover art. (more…) READ MORE
