This might be the wrong category, but I wrote a retro review for this Peter Cushing/Christopher Lee Spanish/British classic on my blog with lots of super 8mm memories—and a clip from my own print!

Great review Kurt. A great incentive to screen my print again...

A great review Kurt. I have the full feature of this as well on super 8, but alas mine has faded much worse than your print, having virtually no colour left with just a sepia hue. [Frown]

I'm still looking for a super 8 print, but I just got the new Blu-Ray release and it is excellent!

Kurt,

Nicely written! I saw Horror Express as a kid during its initial theatrical release and thought it was great. I still do! My print of the feature has faded (still has some blues), and I also have a 400' digest that's fairly well edited. I assume Niles released the cutdown, however there's no info at all on the leader.

I think there's room for just one more film.....

The 400' I have is a 'Normak' release in an unusual box with a polystyrene insert. This came up in another thread some time ago. I wonder who Normak were and what else they released, if anything?
