From Arrow Entertainment and it's going to be in a steel book case...   Fans in the UK can find this in stores on August 26th.

Madeline wants to elope with Philip, but neither of them can predict what ruthless lengths Roderick will go to in order to keep them apart." - Original uncompressed 2.0 Mono PCM Audio. - Optional English SDH subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing. - Audio commentary with director and producer Roger Corman. - Legend to Legend: An interview with director and former Corman apprentice Joe Dante. - Interview with author and Gothic horror expert Jonathan Rigby. - Fragments of the House of Usher: A Specially-commissioned video essay by critic and filmmaker David Cairns examining Corman’s film in relation to Poe’s story. - Archival interview with Vincent Price. - Original Trailer. - Reversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Graham Humphreys [Standard Release only]. - Collector’s booklet featuring new writing on the film by author and critic Tim Lucas and an extract from Vincent Price’s long out of print autobiography, illustrated with original archive stills and posters. |

That's a pretty sweet deal for them. I mean, I'd want it.

That's a really sweet looking case. This should become a regular thing, I could think of tons of movies that would look great packaged like this.

Arrow has the best packaging. Their releases alone are worth purchasing a player for.

I'd get this first and find a player later. Then, well, then all my dvd/bd troubles will be over. I could buy any damn thing I want then.

Probably the best out of the Price/Corman collaboration. The second being Masque of the Red Death.
I love how one second you believe Price's character and the next you can't. Great set pieces.
Even though Corman changed Poe's stories quite a bit, I love his Poe movies.
This one is even better because of Richard Matheson's involvement though, truth be told.
