For studios, timing is everything.

When Universal announced their first wave of horror titles on Blu in March (released on June 4th), many were surprised they didn't lead with the top tier in their horror library.

Some suspected that they were waiting for Halloween to release Dracula, Wolf Man, Frankenstein and Bride of to bolster sales -- and it looks like they were right as the studio has announced a September 17th for the Blu-Ray debuts of the four coveted horror classics.

All will carry over bonus features from DVD releases with the exception of Bride which appears to have picked up a few new ones.

Turner Classic Movies and Sony Home Entertainment proudly present Karloff: Criminal Kind, a new collection of three atmospheric crime thrillers that showcase Boris Karloff’s intensity and depth as a dramatic actor.

Before he gained notoriety as “The Monster” in Frankenstein, Boris Karloff (b. William Henry Pratt) had appeared in over 75 feature films and serials.

Born to a distinguished British family, he assumed a stage name and immigrated to Canada and then the United States, where he performed various manual labor jobs while trying to launch an acting career. The grittiness of his life experience carries over to his performances in the three films in this collection.

The Criminal Code (1931)
Directed by Howard Hawks (Scarface, The Big Sleep), Karloff plays a prisoner who is both a ruthless killer and a steadfast friend to other convicts—so long as they maintain the prisoner’s code of silence.

Infinity Entertainment Group has announced a March 17th release date for Suspense - The Lost Episodes, Vol. 3. This set of the early TV anthology series boasts terrific stars and is the last of three volumes in what were previously thought lost episodes.

SYNOPSIS:
Suspense, an anthology drama featuring stories of mystery and the macabre, was broadcast live from New York over the CBS Television Network beginning in 1949 and continued until 1954. Many top stars of Hollywood and Broadway appeared on Suspense including Paul Newman, Boris Karloff, Rod Steiger, John Forsythe, Brian Keith, Chester Morris, Leslie Nielsen, Hume Cronyn, Eva Gabor, Lloyd Bridges, Jackie Cooper, Jack Palance, Jack Klugman, George Reeves and Lee Marvin. Before moving to television it had been a fixture on the CBS Radio Network since 1942 (where it remained for 20 years) winning a Peabody Award and special citation from the Mystery Writers of America. The television version successfully created the atmosphere of its radio predecessor by using the same opening announcement -- "And now, a tale well calculated to keep you in … Suspense!" -- accompanied by the familiar Bernard Herrmann theme played on a Hammond organ. Suspense was originally aired LIVE. It was never rerun in syndication so it has not been seen since its live run! In association with CBS Enterprises, Falcon Picture Group and Infinity Entertainment has recently uncovered 90 television episodes (that, until recently, were thought to be lost) of Suspense, direct from filmed kinescope masters. Collection 3 offers 30 of these 90 episodes, so be sure to look for Collection 1 and Collection 2, offering the other 60 episodes!
