I hope the extras tell us who these people are.

I have it from 3 independent sources that Kino Lorber is releasing CURSE OF THE UNDEAD, 1959 on BLU-Ray.

No details or release date have been announced, yet - but it's coming, (and it will have extras).

Oh yes! Finally. Do you know if it will include the options to watch with or without the wires? That is my dream.
When I saw it in the theater in '63 and then again around '76, I never saw wires.
Also never saw them on tv until the cleaned up DVD last decade. So naturally, I prefer without.

Didn't KINO announce this about a month ago?

Where?  I didn't see it.

The ones I saw were from this week - and no one has dates or details, yet.

Thanks.  Totally missed it - or am getting senile and forgot about it.  Did anybody discuss it here?  (if so, hope it wasn't me.)
