All Aboard the ‘Horror Express’ in HD
There’ll be ‘Panic in the Trans-Siberian Train’ this September!
In an early announcement to retailers, MPI is working on the 1972 horror film Horror Express starring Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee, and Telly Savalas for Blu-ray on September 27, reports High Def Digest.
“An English anthropologist has discovered a frozen monster in the frozen wastes of Manchuria which he believes may be the Missing Link. He brings the creature back to Europe aboard the Trans-Siberian Express, but during the trip the monster thaws out and starts to butcher the passengers one by one.”
Specs and supplements haven’t been revealed yet, but suggested list price for the Blu-ray is $29.98.
Several of our favorite horror franchises have gotten upgraded 4K collections, but one franchise that you can still only own on Blu-ray is A Nightmare on Elm Street. The bad news? A full franchise collection hasn’t yet been announced. Good news? The original is coming to 4K!
Wes Craven’s original horror classic is getting a 40th anniversary 4K Ultra HD SteelBook from Warner Bros. on December 31, 2024, with pre-orders now available on Amazon.
It’s a UK release, but the 4K disc will be REGION FREE. The Limited Edition offering will reportedly come packaged with a Double-Sided Poster, Art Cards, and a Booklet.
The official listing previews, “Celebrate 40 years of Wes Craven’s nightmarish masterpiece A Nightmare on Elm Street with a brand new 4K restoration and Ultimate Collector’s Edition featuring a Steelbook with new key art, theatrical poster and other premiums.”
