Criterion: Vampyr
Sometimes I find it a tad saddening that Criterion spends so little of their time, energy, and resources on our favorite genre. It’s not like they totally ignore us or anything. I’ve got their releases of Kwaidan, Jigoku, Peeping Tom, Eyes Without a Face, and Videodrome proudly on my shelf and I plan on eventually picking up their editions of Carnival of Souls, The Blob, Haxan, and Fiend Without a Face, but it just seems like they could do so much more.
Well this July, they’ve got a great looking double disc of Carl Dreyer’s Vampyr coming out. You can click here for the full specs. This is a top-notch horror film getting a top-notch treatment. I have my annoyances with Criterion, but I’ll be picking this up…and you should as well.

I LOVE Haxan! For years I had a really shitty bootleg copy of it on VHS & I was so happy that Criterion put it out on DVD. They also put out The Devil & Daniel Webster, which is one of my most favorite movies ever.
I want to get the Monsters & Madmen set & Equinox (Not really Horror, more like Sci-Fi I guess). I enjoyed Equinox, it was fun!
