Well guys, sorry to report the film was actually broadcast in 4:3 and it looked like hell on wheels.  It clocked in at around 100 minutes with bumpers so it's basically just the VHS version.  I know, unbelievable right.  I was like WTF!?  Epix has been showing Dragonslayer (1981) in beautiful widescreen HD for some time now so I had high hopes for The Keep.  It was not to be.  The sound was actually not that bad but the image didn't look high def at all.  In fact, when I switched over to the standard definition feed which broadcasts the same content it actually looked and sounded better than the HD version.  There was really nothing HD about the HD broadcast at all.  Go figure.  So that was pretty much a train wreck.
