It seems like this year is shaping up to be another great DVD year for Christopher Lee fans. Last year was awesome with HOD, COF, to the Devil a Daughter, Hercules in the Haunted World, Oblong Box, Scream and Scream again and whatever else I cant remmeber of the top of my head!! This year we await

1. the Private Life of Sherlock Holmes
2. Hannie Caulder
3. Raw Meat

im sure theres a few more i forgot or dont know about so please let me know if I forgot some. Which of these new releases are the members most excited about. For me, although i always love the horror films first, I have to say Hannie Caulder is number 1 on my list. I have never seen it and look forward to seeing Christopher as a gunslinger as its a role i have never seen him play. Having heard only good things about sherlock Holmes that would be a close 2nd... but Hannie Caulder i cant wait for that!!! What does everyone else think

HANNIE CAULDER for me cuz i've been wanting to see that one myself. it's been on cinamax lately but we haven't got that channel anymore:furious: when we did they never aired it now that we don't have it they do it's for the better i say cuz now i get to see Hannie Caulder in all it's glory i think it was shot in panavision if i am not mistaken. by the way when do these dvd's happen to come out? i think sherlock holmes is august of 2003.
but for those of us who want to know please post it.

Three very good and VERY diffirent movies there .
Wilders Holmes film is the best of the bunch , great stuff .
Hannie Caulder is an enjoyable , if over exploitative , revenge western and Raw Meat aka Deathline is one of the best British horror films of the 70's . Christopher Lee only makes a cameo appearance but the whole film is a gem , particularly Donald Pleasance's star turn as the police inspector ........ high on my list to buy .

Raw meat i have taped but i might just wait for the dvd i prob won't though. an donald pleasence is great i agree. it's hard to believe the man was something like 60 something i think when he did halloween in 1978! but he's done some REALLY bad movies too. i am looking forward 2 sherlock holmes that is indeed a great film.

And don't forget DR. TERROR'S HOUSE OF HORRORS and HOUSE THAT DRIPPED BLOOD which will be released by Anchor Bay!Or so I have read...I haven't seen these two films before and so I am waiting very anxiously when they will come out!:1roll:
This is really the best time to be a CL fan...Now they are really releasing all those classic films on DVD format and I must buy every single one of them...!!!:D

**Frederick Bergstrom** · 2nd April 2003, 04:11 AM

Your right Anne i forgot those 2.... And those are 2 great movies I never should have forgot about

What's the scoop on THTDB? I'd kill for that one on DVD!!!

DTHOH, of course, I just got, so I can wait for the R1 release, but man, THTDB is a must, must have!!

**Matt Gemmell** · 3rd April 2003, 07:22 PM

The last I remember The House That Dripped Blood was set to be released at the same time as Dr Terrors House Of Horror on region 2 dvd ( October 2003 ) ...... nice Halloween present .:)

**Dave Hutchens** · 4th April 2003, 08:40 AM

Cool!!!!!!!!:1roll:

**Don Boycik** · 4th April 2003, 05:30 PM

actually that site dvd drive-in says not october of 2003 but AUGUST of 2003! which is pretty sweet i think. an also better than october. I've always wanted to see THE HOUSE THAT DRIPPED BLOOD. my Lenard Maltin Movie Guide rates for the movie is i think 2 stars perhaps i can't remember what he gave it anyways he states in it that the 1st segment an the last are the best. is he right for those who have indeed seen it?

**Frederick Bergstrom** · 5th April 2003, 01:02 AM

The first segmant is very good with Denholm Elliot going bonkers the last is the best part of the movie with John Petree and Ingrid Pitt in the cloak. Its sale on Ebay right now with some other Christopher Lee movies for $15.00

**Dave Hutchens** · 5th April 2003, 04:41 AM

The best segment, in my opinion, in THTDB is Mr. Lee's, in which he plays the much-troubled father of a very special little girl.

I also love Peter Cushing's. Oh, hell -- I love the whole film! It's easily my favorite of the Amicus anthologies.

**Charles Prepolec** · 5th April 2003, 04:52 AM

Well, no question for me, the most eagerly awaited upcoming DVD release is without a doubt The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes. This brilliant little gem from one of the best directors of all-time is long overdue for a DVD release.

"Beeg dog from Bahs-ker-veel" indeed!

Cheers!
