    Second Sight Films Announces Standard Edition Blu-Rays Of Two Hammer Horror Classics From Terrance Fisher

    A man in a suit raises a weapon against a mummy-like figure wrapped in aged bandages inside a room with bookshelves and framed art.

    Second Sight Films has announced standard edition reissues of two Hammer titles will rejoin the collection on Blu-Ray in May: The Mummy (1959) and Frankenstein and the Monster from Hell (1974). These films represent two acclaimed collaborations between Terrance Fisher and Peter Cushing, including the last in the series of eight iconic Frankenstein films. These films were previously released in Limited Edition sets that are now out of print.

    Second Sight Films is a specialty label based in the U.K. whose 4K UHD releases can be played in players worldwide, including U.S. players. Their Blu-Ray releases are typically region B locked, so you will need a region-free player to play those discs in the U.S. All first pressings of each release will have strictly limited-edition deluxe packaging along with new transfers, audio commentaries, exclusive bonus features & more. Details can be found below:
