The North American UHD Premieres of 3 Classic Films on 7 Discs with an All-New 312-Page Book and 18+ Combined Hours of Special Features THE NORTH AMERICAN UHD PREMIERES OF 3 CLASSIC FILMS ON 7 DISCS WITH AN ALL-NEW 312-PAGE BOOK AND 18+ COMBINED HOURS OF SPECIAL FEATURES With screenplays for such '50s/'60s Hammer Films classics as THE CURSE OF FRANKENSTEIN, HORROR OF DRACULA, THE MUMMY and more, he became one of the very best writers in the genre. But when Jimmy Sangster returned to Hammer in the '70s to direct the only feature films of his career, he delivered three of the most unique shockers in the studio's history: In THE HORROR OF FRANKENSTEIN starring Ralph Bates as the sociopathic monster maker, Sangster brings both black humor and deep red dismemberment to Mary Shelley's iconic tale. Sangster takes fanged lesbian desires to seductive new levels with LUST FOR A VAMPIRE, featuring Yutte Stensgaard as the titular bloodsucker. Judy Geeson, Ralph Bates, Joan Collins and the legendary Peter Cushing star in Sangster's acclaimed FEAR IN THE NIGHT, a taut psycho-thriller with a dark giallo edge. Each film is presented in UHD for the first time ever in North America, now scanned in 4K from their original camera negatives by StudioCanal. This collection also includes the 312-page book Horror! Lust! Fear! Sangster featuring essays, interviews, comic adaptations and more, plus over 18 combined hours of comprehensive new & archival Special Features produced and curated by Severin Films.
