This is a fantastic transfer to dvd, the picture quality is almost pristine and in the correct aspect ratio 1.85:1
The sound is perfectly clear and audible. Yes, the original crypt keeper is misleading but that's only a niggle compared to what we get on the disc.
All in all, a long awaited release for a fantastic film given the treatment it deserves.

The best Horror film i ever saw ( as a kid), at long last it's on a Region 2 DVD. All sub stories are great but the performance by Cushing as "Grimsdyke" takes all awards, scared the life outta me when first watched on a late night ITV showing. Each offering being carefully crafted and perfectly presented by a hardcore cast of expertise, how on earth did they get Sir Ralph to play the Crypt Keeper ?? ;-) Buy and enjoy.......
