Anchor Bay Entertainment seems to be picking up the pace. After their excellent DVD release of DAWN OF THE DEAD "Ultimate Edition", more cult horror flicks are on their way.

Anchor Bay has struck a deal with Twentieth Century Fox to release some of their rare titles, and one of them will be the  Michele Soavi horror/comedy CEMETERY MAN. Also, two Dario Argento films TRAUMA (1992) and his latest film THE CARD PLAYER (2004) are also scheduled for a DVD release. Plus, Lucio Fulci's rarely seen (and I mean RARELY SEEN) thriller ONE ON TOP OF THE OTHER (1969) will be released. And last but not least, William Girdler's 1978 classic THE MANITOU will be finally released on DVD in it's original 2.35:1 Panavision! I guess I can get rid of my old crappy pan-scan Charter Home Video copy.

Here is the link in case you want to read the schedules:

This is great news.  "Cemetery Man" is a film that is long past due for a DVD release.

Not to mention "The Manitou."   Patty from WilliamGirdler.com must be dancing.

Incredible news Chris.

Quite happy about Cemetary Man.  I still have a copy that I taped from Bravo about 5-6 years ago.  It'll be great to have it on DVD finally!

Same goes for From Beyond and Trauma.  Two more great flicks I've been waiting for.  Really surprising news.

A bald man named Savalas visited me last night in a dream.  I think it was a Telly vision.

About time someone released Cemetery Man on DVD. My VHS copy is on its last legs. Good news about those Argento films, too.
