Pit and the Pendulum and Castle Freak - 4/30
 

Apparently Full Moon's Pit and the Pendulum and Castle Freak are being released next week (4/30). Both are remastered and if they're anything like the other restorations, they should both look good. I was always a fan of Pit and the Pendulum.

I still have some store credit to burn off, so this should do it but I'm still going to wait for a sale.

The UK BD of Castle Freak will have The Evil Clergyman in HD as a bonus feature, so I'll just pick up that one instead.

Are you talking about the 1991 version? Certainly not the 1961 Corman version? If it's the 1991, I would love to see MASQUE OF THE RED DEATH (1989 version) also!

Yes.

I'm also not ashamed to admit that as a teen, I enjoyed the nudity of the leading actress.

Good, have to get these.

Nearly blank pages for these popped up at amazon for $13.97 each. I pre-ordered them but now they aren't available. Hopefully it won't be one of those things where they make a new product page with a higher price, like I've seen a few other movies do on pre-orders.

Ominous... I sure hope they haven't been cancelled.

Re: Pit and the Pendulum and Castle Freak - 4/30
 

Full Moon announced it in a recent email. The release dates at amazon were about a week early, which may explain part of that issue.

I ended up getting my copies randomly over the last couple weeks. I watched Castle Freak and it wasn't restored like Puppet Master and Subspecies. At some point I want to pull out my DVD just to compare.

I am more excited about Trancers 1.5

If they get around to selling it outside of the box set, which I already own, I'll pick it up with the evergreen card I still need to use.

Re: Pit and the Pendulum and Castle Freak - 4/30
 

Castle Freak went from being a fullscreen DVD to a widescreen blu-ray with a blue tint put on, similar to the NOTLD 90 release.

Pit and the Pendulum looks pretty bad, or at least on the blu-ray release it looks how it should on DVD, but I still need to check my DVD to compare. I've heard the DVD really looks awful, like a really washed out and abused VHS copy but I'd rather see it with my own eyes first.

Re: Pit and the Pendulum and Castle Freak - 4/30
 

At least PENDULUM hasn't been tinted blue... Or has it? Could you please check your blu-ray to be sure? I'll take original color palette and DVD quality over fake blue tint and Blu-ray quality ANY day.

FYI- the UK release of CASTLE FREAK is region free and looks pretty good
