Universal Classic Monsters: The Essential Collection Blu-ray USA

Universal Pictures have announced the US Blu-ray release of Universal Classic Monsters: The Essential Collection on 2 October 2012. This collection features eight films on Blu-ray, which the press release notes are "digitally restored from high resolution film elements in perfect high-definition picture and perfect high-definition sound for the first time ever". The collection also boasts a collectible 48-page book featuring behind-the-scenes photographs, original posters, correspondence and much more. Each film is accompanied by an array of bonus features that tell the story of its creation and history, including behind-the-scenes documentaries, filmmaker commentaries, interviews, storyboards, photo galleries, and trailers. Also included is a never-before-seen featurette about the restoration of Dracula and the first ever offering of Creature from the Black Lagoon in its restored Blu-ray 3D version.
The films and extras are outlined below...

Dracula (1931) - The original 1931 movie version of Bram Stoker’s classic tale has for generations defined the iconic look and terrifying persona of the famed vampire. Dracula owes its continued appeal in large part due to Bela Lugosi’s indelible portrayal of the immortal Count Dracula and the flawless direction of horror auteur Tod Browning. The Universal Classic Monsters: The Essential Collection includes the original version of this chilling and evocative tale, as well as the rarely seen Spanish version of Dracula. Filmed simultaneously with the English language version, the Spanish version of Dracula is an equally ominous vision of the horror classic shot with the same sets and script. Cinematographer George Robinson and a vibrant cast including Carlos Villarias and Lupita Tovar deliver a chilling and evocative tale filled with the same terror, mystery, and intrigue.
Bonus Features:

• Dracula, the 1931 Spanish version, with Introduction by Lupita Tovar Kohner

Below we have a video on the restoration carried out on Dracula followed by pictures of the set.

Esto es muy bueno realmente.
Personalmente siempre he tenido a THE INVISIBLE MAN por encima del resto.
Luego mis otras favoritas son Frankenstein, La Novia de Frankenstein y La Criatura de la Laguna Negra.
Drácula, La Momia, El Hombre Lobo y El Fantasma de la Opera nunca fueron mis versiones favoritas.
Las primeras dos les tengo más cariño a las versiones de la Hammer con Christopher Lee.
Las de El Hombre Lobo para mi son las de John Landis y Joe Dante que se hicieron en 1981.
Y la de El Fantasma de la Opera ha tenido 3 versiones en los últimos 20-25 años que les tengo más cariño que a esa vieja película del '43.
Una es de la Robert Englund de 1989 dirigida por Dwight H. Little, el mismo de Halloween 4; la segunda es de la de Dario Argento de 1998 basicamente por Asia Argento, la peli es mala; y por último la de Joel Schumacher del 2004.

Pero volviendo a EL HOMBRE INVISIBLE. Ese siempre ha sido uno de mis poderes favoritos.
El cine y la TV le han dedicado varias películas al tema...

- The Invisible Man Returns (1940) con Vincent Price.
- The Invisible Woman (1940).
- Invisible Agent (1942) y The Invisible Man's Revenge (1944).
- The Man Who Wasn't There (1983).
- Memoirs of an Invisible Man (1992) de John Carpenter con Chevy Chase.
- The Invisible Man (1998) para la TV con Kyle MacLachlan (me gustaría poder verla alguna vez para ver que onda).
- Hollow Man (2000) de PAul Verhoeven con Kevin Bacon.
- The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (2003) con Tony Curran.

Y siempre me acuerdo unas que eran "softcore" en donde había un hombre invisible que tenía sexo con un montón de mujeres que tenían que simular que había alguien en donde en realidad no había nadie. Me parecían super graciosas esas películas.

- The Erotic Misadventures of the Invisible Man (Video 2003) con Gabriella Hall

Aquí está para bajársela: http://fullsoftmovies.blogspot.com.ar/2 ... e-man.html

- También existe una llamada The Invisible Maniac (1990) que dice ser una comedia pero me parece que es más bien para llorar por lo mala.

**As you can see, Vertigo and Psycho are both listed as having lossless 5.1 and lossy original 2.0 audio. As fans already know, Psycho is already available from Universal and in fact features lossless 2.0 Mono so it's likely the Psycho audio information is incorrect. We'll have to wait for confirmation from Universal to be certain, but considering every other film has lossless original Mono audio options, we suspect Vertigo will as well.


The UK version of the Masterpiece Collection is currently scheduled by retailers to appear on 1 October 2012. Not yet officially announced, the UK version features 14 films, losing the Warner published North by Northwest. Based on the Amazon listing, extra features across the films appear to be identical to the USA set, with audio options for the UK release currently unknown and TBC. The packaging is also significantly different as you can clearly see in the images below. We'll update with UK details as soon as we get them from Universal.

Universal Pictures have announced the UK Blu-ray release of Alfred Hitchcock: The Masterpiece Collection on 1 October 2012. Digitally restored from high-quality film elements and presented in perfect high-definition picture and sound, this set features 14 acclaimed films by the legendary director, 13 of which are new to UK Blu-ray.

La etapa americana de Alfred Hitchcock - Autor: Juan Luis Sánchez.
El director revalidó en Hollywood el éxito de su etapa inglesa

Tras el éxito de sus primeras películas en Gran Bretaña, Alfred Hitchcock fue reclutado por los productores de Hollywood, donde rodaría títulos que hicieron historia.
Tras su etapa inglesa, Hitchcock fue reclutado por el productor David O. Selznick para trabajar en Estados Unidos. "Rebeca" fue la primera película que rodó en Hollywood Alfred Hitchcock. Se trataba de la adaptación de una obra de Daphne Du Maurier. Una joven contrae matrimonio con un aristócrata que se la lleva a vivir a su mansión, donde está muy presente la sombra de Rebeca, su anterior esposa. El film ganó dos Oscar, aunque Hitchcock no se llevó el relativo a la dirección.
Curiosamente, a Hitchcock siguieron negándole el Oscar a lo largo de los años. Finalmente le otorgaron el premio Irving Thalberg, de carácter honorífico. Y eso que seguía triunfando en las taquillas. En los años 40 rodó títulos memorables como "Enviado especial", "Recuerda", "La sombra de una duda", "El proceso Paradine" y "Náufragos".

Con Cary Grant rodó "Sospecha" y "Encadenados", en la que le acompañaba Ingrid Bergman y que es, sin duda, uno de los mejores films del maestro del suspense. Coincidió por primera vez con otro de sus actores favoritos, James Stewart, en "La soga", film de marcado carácter experimental filmado casi como si constara únicamente de un único plano.
"Pánico en la escena", de 1950, recibió críticas muy negativas, porque Hitchcock añadió un flash-back en el que ocurrían cosas que luego se descubría que eran mentira, lo que, a juicio de los críticos, era jugar sucio con el espectador. Aunque empezó la década de los 50 deprimido por su sobrepeso, Hitchcock atravesó uno de sus mejores momentos profesionales, con películas memorables, como "Extraños en un tren", la nueva versión de "El hombre que sabía demasiado", "Pero, ¿quién mató a Harry?", "De entre los muertos (Vértigo)" –con un fuerte componente romántico– y la legendaria "Con la muerte en los talones".

Hitchcock sintió una auténtica fascinación por Grace Kelly. La actriz protagonizó a sus órdenes "Crimen perfecto", "La ventana indiscreta" y "Atrapa un ladrón". Pero después, ella dejó el cine para casarse con el príncipe Rainiero de Mónaco, lo que no gustó nada a Hitchcock. Éste había iniciado en el año 1956 la emisión de la celebérrima serie "Alfred Hitchcock presenta".

"Psicosis", de 1960, obra cumbre del cine de terror, es uno de los trabajos más populares de Hitchcock, y la cinta más impredecible de la historia del cine. El maestro del suspense fichó a una gran estrella, Janet Leigh, cuyo personaje era asesinado en mitad de la trama, en la famosa escena de la ducha, dejando al espectador sin saber muy bien qué iba a ocurrir, pues había muerto la protagonista de la historia que hasta entonces se estaba narrando.

Tippi Hedren, otra de las rubias que atraían a Hitchcock, protagonizó a sus órdenes las irrepetibles "Los pájaros" (nueva incursión en el cine de terror) y "Marnie, la ladrona". Curiosamente, "Cortina rasgada" (con Paul Newman) y "Topaz" no obtuvieron el respaldo del público que cabía esperar.

Hitchcock decidió entonces regresar a su Gran Bretaña natal. Allí tuvo tiempo de rodar dos películas más: "Frenesí" (actualización de su película "El enemigo de las rubias") y "La trama". Después de que la reina de Inglaterra le nombrara "Sir", Alfred Hitchcock murió, el 29 de abril de 1980, a causa de una enfermedad renal.
