I think it's obvious now that is never gonna happen.

This was just released about a year ago from Universal on the Lugosi Franchise Collection. I'd be surprised if they licensed it to Criterion.

Right, the new picture might just be a reference to Le Corbeau.

There have been previous mentions about a Corridors of Blood/Haunted Strangler set - Fiend Without a Face (also produced by Richard Gordon) includes those trailers.

Fango just got the scoop that Criterion will release a trio of genre movies from veteran producer Richard Gordon and one by his brother Alex in either a pair of double-features or a four-disc set in January. Two of the films, 1958’s THE HAUNTED STRANGLER and 1962’s CORRIDORS OF BLOOD, star Boris Karloff; the other duo—1959’s FIRST MAN INTO SPACE and Alex’s THE ATOMIC SUBMARINE—are more sci-fi-oriented but still contain monstrous elements. All the discs will feature restored transfers, and the supplements are as follows:

• Audio commentary on STRANGLER by Richard and Alex Gordon and horror historian/Fango scribe Tom Weaver
• Audio commentary on CORRIDORS by Richard, actress Yvonne Romain and Weaver
• Audio commentary on FIRST MAN by Richard and Weaver
• Audio commentary on ATOMIC by Alex and Weaver
• Making-of featurettes on all four films
• Featurette on CORRIDORS’ censored footage
• Liner notes/Fango article by John Croydon with STRANGLER and CORRIDORS
• Trailers, radio spots, etc.

I hope it's a set and not a bunch of single releases.

Now if we could only get Criterion to release Goke and other crazy Japanese horror pictures from the 1950s and 60s...
