I love when fans fix colors and add original theatrical sound to films such as this. Looks great! Wish you luck and can’t wait to see the end result!

Currently working on another color regrade since I wasn’t very happy with the first one. I’ll try to get some screen caps to you sometime tomorrow. The BD-50 itself will probably be released by friday or early saturday.

I have a bootleg copy of the German DVD. The deleted scenes have been edited back into the film, but without any clean up or restoration of the additional footage.

If I didn’t know this was an official German DVD release, I would have mistaken it for a fan edit, still, very interesting to see the extra material in context.

Having some technical problems, so it’s taking longer than expected. I’ll try to get this released sometime next week.

I want to go back into this project, but I recently learned about the blu-ray release in the UK last year. I don’t know how it looks, but it claims to be a new restoration. So, I’m going to order a copy of that, see how it looks and whether or not it has the mono audio track (I’ve heard whispers that it does.). If this release fixes the issues I had with the previous release, this project may be cancelled. Scream Factory also just announced a Steelbook Edition, but my guess is that its the Collectors Edition blu-ray repackaged.

So I guess nobody wants it? Well, I’m paying to keep the file up, but if no one is interested, I might as well delete it…

Out of curiosity, I bought the VHS of this movie to see how it looked. From all the copies I’ve seen (VHS, DVD, and Blu-ray) I’d say I was wrong about the blue tint. Although the blu ray is a little brighter. The DVD and VHS have a nice reddish yellowish tone, and so does the trailer. The blu-ray seems to have a green tint, so that will be important to change.

Work had halted on this project while I waited for the new 4K restoration to be released. It’s an improvement, as it has the mono track, but it’s still missing the blue tint and high contrast. Working on this tonight, might even be able to upload tonight too.
