Conceived as a sequel to Wells’ original tale, the story centers on a British nephew of the original Invisible Man. Once he discovers his uncle’s formula for achieving invisibility, he is recruited by British intelligence agency MI5 during WWII.
Classic 1970S Sci-Fi series The Invisible Man starring David McCallum appears on DVD for the first time from Acorn Media.
Following his starring role in cult classic “The Man From U.N.C.L.E.,” McCallum returned as the lead in this hit series, which launched with a feature length pilot followed by 12-gripping episodes, all of which come to DVD in The Invisible Man four-DVD boxed set on July 8 2013.
“Daniel Westin (McCallum) works for the Klae Corporation on experiments in molecular disintegration, alongside his wife Kate (Melinda Fee). When Westin discovers a method of making animals and then himself invisible, the threat of misuse leads him to destroy the equipment, but in the process he becomes permanently invisible. While seeking to reverse his condition, he is assigned the codename Klae Resource and is sent on special secret missions. If there’s corruption in a small town, political hijinks on a national scale, scientists defecting, aging dictators in need of protection, kidnap victims in need of rescue and crime at the heart of the Klae Corporation that needs investigating Klae Resource is the (invisible) man for the job.”
A hugely entertaining seventies sci-fi series, The Invisible Man is a must see. READ MORE

After the success of The Hunchback Of Notre Dame in 1923, Universal began its now eighty-plus year horror fixation with The Phantom Of The Opera. Under the watch of Carl Laemlle Jr.’s, Universal produced Tod Browning’s Dracula and James Whale’s Frankenstein, both of which are among the most influential and recognizable horror films ever made – the Spanish version of Dracula, shot at night on the same sets the English-language version used, is considered to be superior and equally important by many. From the 30’s until the late 50’s, Universal produced the bulk of their “classic” monster films, including The Mummy (a property the studio has bastardized far past the point of return), The Invisible Man, The Wolf Man, and – a personal favorite of mine – Creature From The Black Lagoon. With make-up pioneers like Jack Pierce, incredible directors like James Whale, and horror personas like Lon Chaney Jr., Boris Karloff, and Bela Lugosi (and to a lesser extent, the “cross-over” film), Universal forever changed the horror landscape.
