Criterion to introduce cult label and tons of release dates.
Barry Maxwell's Classic Coming Attractions at the Digital Bits Just posted this news with a ton of release dates. it's a good read, with a little new info.
There are rumours that Criterion may introduce a new cult label later this year that will present titles such as The Atomic Submarine (1959, with Arthur Franz), Corridors of Blood (1963, with Boris Karloff), and The Haunted Strangler (1959, with Boris Karloff).
I would love to see them do the Karloff stuff.

But the real question is, will they cost as much as Criterions?

How come I feel like a I read this thread a really long time ago?
Anyhow, this is good news. There are so many cult DVDs that need re-issues, or even need releases to begin with. I hope this label clears up the confusion with public domain titles, when one has no idea which of the myriad releases to buy.

I always thought Criterion did a decent job releasing horror/scifi films periodically. While that is Blue Underground's market right now, my uncle will be pleased to hear Criterion releasing cult films-he's always wanted them to do more.
I don't know much about this, but why hasn't Criterion or someone release Night of the Hunter. It supposedly a classic and a great serial killer film.

Since Criterion and Image are the same company, and the three possible titles(Haunted Strangler, Corridors of Blood, Atomic Submarine) were previously released by Image, I wonder if this line will consist primarily of upgraded versions of Image titles.
