Anyone has this little Hammer horror film for sale?

Peter Cushing is cool in this ... I showed it in school when I was 12 or 13, teacher didn't like it when the heads flew off :-/

I have this in my collection. Not for sale though. Take care if you find one as some of the Derann prints were printed very dark. So dark as to be almost unwatchable, but the sound is excellent.

Love to watch Hammer Films especially those with Peter Cushing, who made many a film much better no matter how low the budget was.

I didn't think this was a Derann print. Was the old one I had in 197x (late) from another company? I do not remember, I almost see the box in my head, but not quite get the company logo. It was not dark the one I had.

And I thought Derann was synonymous with high quality, but that's not the case all the time then?

Thanks for the input

It was released by Walton as 200'

Ah, that nice to know ... Derann being a full feature?

It was originally a 200' release by Walton Films Vidar, followed
bt the 4x400 feature , Derann also released the complete film
as David rightly says, which tended to be on the dark side.

That's interesting. I have a Derann print of the feature...and I found my print to be very rich ...very nice....not too dark .. but indeed dark ish......but nice to watch. One of Cushing's best performances....you can see the struggle he has going on in side his own head and heart.... as he perpetrates untold evils in the name of good.....setting of a conflict that it appears drives him almost insane. Every reading of every line...every facial expression betrays that conflict.
Love that little film.
