Re: Clásicos del terror
Para el próximo septiembre y como pequeño adelanto de Halloweeen, Universal pone en circulación su cuarta Legacy Series dedicada a los monstruos clásicos de la productora. Tras Drácula, Frankenstein y La Momia, es el turno de El hombre lobo, que al parecer tendrá los siguientes contenidos, según DVDTimes:
The Wolf Man (1941) R1 SE in September
Universal Studios Home Entertainment have announced the Region 1 DVD release of The Wolf Man (1941) Special Edition on 15th September 2009 priced at $26.98 SRP. The 1941 film by director George Waggner makes another appearance on DVD in the run-up to the new 2009 film starring Benicio del Toro, Anthony Hopkins and Hugo Weaving amongst others.
Previously released as part of their ‘Monsters collection’, this new 2-Disc Special Edition offers all the content of the previous release on Disc 1 (with added Spanish subtitles, and the loss of Production Notes and Cast & Crew Biographies). Disc 2 offers the Universal Horror documentary found on numerous releases from Universal (the 2-Disc SEs of the classic horrors Frankenstein, Dracula & The Mummy) and the Jack Pierce featurette that was on the recent SE of The Mummy (1932). The two other featurettes on the bonus disc appear to be new, but we could be wrong…
Disc 1: Main Feature
■Full Frame
■English DD2.0 Mono
■English SDH, French and Spanish subtitles
■Monsters by Moonlight

Alternatively you can pick up the original 1-Disc edition of The Wolf Man at the reduced price of $14.98 SRP from 13th September (when Universal are cutting the prices on a long list of their catalogue horror titles).
En España, como viene siendo habitual, Universal o bien no la saca o nos la vende con menos contenidos y usando viejas copias, las procedentes de las anteriores ediciones. La información no aclara si se ha remasterizado de nuevo la película de Waggner. Estaremos expectantes.
