The Old Dark House (1932) Blu-ray Detailed
We previously announced the Cohen Film Collection’s upcoming Blu-ray release of James Whale’s The Old Dark House (1932). Just yesterday, the Cohen Media Group revealed the cover image and special features that will be included on the Blu-ray. I normally wouldn’t post multiple announcements for a single movie, but this under-seen classic is my favorite of Universal horror film. Just look at that beautiful cover! I am simply giddy with excitement.
Below is the full information on the release, as well as the Amazon pre-order link (and a link to the equally fine book, Benighted, on which the film was based:
Synopsis
