It is not. These are StudioCanal's transfers and are barebones releases. It's from 2020 or 2019.

Severin announced its October releases

My Grandpa is a Vampire
Tales to Keep You Awake, the complete 1966-68 Spanish horror anthology show by Narciso Ibanez Serrador (Who Can Kill a Child?)
The Plague Zombie trilogy
Dracula vs Frankenstein
The Changeling 4K

Considering Tales to Keep You Awake and maybe Changeling, but I'm waiting until after tomorrow to decide because tomorrow's Criterion's November announcements

Tales To Keep You Awake Seems like something I’d love, and you can’t go wrong with The Changeling - good announcements! I thought I heard that they were doing a Franco UHD as well, whatever that is I’ll have to grab it for sure

Edit: imagine if the UHD was A Virgin Among the Living Dead?? Could be cool

Tales To Keep You Awake sounds cool as hell. I'll have to wait on the changeling 4k, I can't imagine it'll be too much of an upgrade over the bluray.

Hoping for more Jess Francos. Really dug the 4k they put out recently

There’s a diff between the two transfers? I thought based on the timing, these were all the same 4K transfers.

I looked again and you're correct, it's the same 4k restorations as StudioCanal, but there are new Dolby Atmos tracks and a new restored stereo tracks on each of them, plus the supplements, like commentaries and BTS features and interviews.

So if you just want the movies and not the supplements or the upgrades to the sound, they are visually the same.

My mistake. For some reason I thought Shout got new 4k transfers instead of using the StudioCanal ones.

I wish Dawn of the Dead 2004 would get a 4K release. It's weird to me that it hasn't been done already, but I guess the license costs a zillion dollars. The regular Blu-Ray looks nice but it would be amazing in 4K

Yeah that Shout disc looks great already and is overstuffed with extras. There’d have to be some sort of Zach Snyder cut included with a 4K disc to get my interest again…

VS Summer Sale Info



quote:

Our first annual VS SummerFest Sale is only a few days away, starting this Friday (the 19th) at 12:01 AM EST and running through 11:59 PM EST on Sunday (the 21st)!

Throughout the sale, nearly 200 VS and Peekarama releases will be marked down to 50% off SRP! The films selected represent a sampling of titles for which the film elements (ranging from camera negatives to only known prints) are vaulted in our archives. As many of you know, VS was founded not just to release genre films, but to find and preserve their original film materials, with an emphasis on saving the types of works most often endangered. This mission is still the driving force behind VS, and our efforts to protect cinema history is stronger than ever, with newly recovered materials arriving at our archives each month to be preserved.

In addition, at the opening of the sale, we’ll be unveiling our next duo of Peekarama releases, one a UHD upgrading of a classic double feature from one of the genre’s most celebrated directors and starring one of his favorite leading ladies, and the other the world Blu-ray debut of a star-studded classic from an equal parts legendary and notorious hardcore auteur. Plus, two of our favorite Peekarama releases will be receiving newly designed Catalog Slipcovers!

We’ve also prepared one of our best and most entertaining VSA's to date; a southern-shot 80s actioner that’s non-stop fun from start to end and is making its world Blu-ray debut!

Also, several of the incredible artists with whom we work with have created new posters, shirt designs, and more, including an original take on the artwork for a VS classic dating back to our earliest days of DVD.

As will all of our sales, the "Add to my existing sale order" FREE shipping option will be enabled. Also, if you have already placed a pre-order this month, you can use this free shipping option to combine any additional sale orders with your existing pre-order. And for our Subscribers, you already know what to do!
