Blue Underground: 4K Restoration of Lucio Fulci's The House by the Cemetery Prepped for Blu-ray Posted August 1, 2019 10:18 PM by



Blue Underground announced today that it is preparing a brand new 4K restoration of Lucio Fulci's cult film The House by the Cemetery (1981), starring Catriona MacColl, Paolo Malco, Ania Pieroni, Giovanni Frezza, and Silvia Collatina.



A Blu-ray release of the new restoration is expected to be announced later this year.



Synopsis: A young family moves from their cramped New York City apartment to a spacious new home in New England. But this is no ordinary house in the country: the previous owner was the deranged Dr. Freudstein, whose monstrous human experiments have left a legacy of bloody mayhem. Now, someone-or something-is alive in the basement, and home sweet home is about to become a horrific hell on earth.

TinmanLee Aug 02, 2019 Great News! I've been calling for this along with City of the Living Dead. Hopefully that comes next.

losingsoul Aug 02, 2019 Great news, very excited to see another stellar Fulci disc

PrestonXI Aug 02, 2019 Stuff like this is why I wake up in the morning!

Top contributor Dubstar Aug 02, 2019 this is the one Fulci movie I most enjoy watching on a regular basis Nosferatu31 Aug 02, 2019 @TinmanLee Blue Underground no longer have the rights to City of the Living Dead. It's now with Code Red.

geminidreamatl30 Aug 02, 2019 I'll gladly pay 100 bucks for this if they can get an interview with the guy who dubbed Bob. Worst dub actor ever! I'd love to hear what he had to say about it lol!

Kakihara Aug 02, 2019 @TinmanLee, there already is an excellent release of City of the Living Dead by Arrow.

TinmanLee Aug 02, 2019 @Kakihara I know. It's Region B. I have a couple all region players but really no spare USB ports, nor space for an extra player, so i try to buy Region A. That's a shame about Code Red. I heard Dark Force talking about putting out a print, but multiple companies have put out releases before. Also, that guy talks like the version he's releasing isn't going to be a standard version people are used to seeing.



Also, trying to buy anything from that site is a pain in the ass and normally most of his product seems to go to Ebay scalpers. I was hoping for a 4k BU 3 disc for around $30. Not a glow-in-the-dark slipcover for $70 on Ebay. TarPot1 Aug 02, 2019 I'm looking forward to this.



I really liked the Blue Underground 4K remasters of Maniac, Zombie Flesheaters and Deathdream.



But found The New York Ripper remaster garish. If that's what it's meant to be like, ok. I just hope this doesn't have the same look.

wikkidsmyle Aug 02, 2019 @TinmanLee - try the Australian 'Cinema Cult' edition of "City Of The Living Dead" - that's Region Free. I have it as part of the "Gates of Hell Trilogy" which they released and the transfers are pretty good.

TinmanLee Aug 02, 2019 @wikkidsmyle I'll look into it. Thanks!



EDIT: Yea, it's pretty pricey, plus I'm going to be getting this when it comes out and I already have the Grindhouse Releasing version of The Beyond and COTLD on the BU Lucio Fulci 3 disc. I was just hoping for one of the nice 4k 3 discs of City BU have been churning out lately is all. Thanks anyway.

spawningblue Aug 02, 2019 Its actually Scorpion releasing COTLD, not Code Red. It will be sold through Roninflix and Diabolik, not Dark Force, thank God! Dark Force is releasing COTLD in a terrible looking print as part of his drive-in series, which seems pointless, but Scorpions release shall be on par with Arrows, but Region A.

pEgLeG Aug 02, 2019 Day one!

snipemonkey Aug 02, 2019 Always in for more Fulci!

Top contributor Jompa Aug 02, 2019 Great. i Have been waiting for this. I hope for a 5.1 or 7.1 remix too

rjmacready Aug 02, 2019 I already spent a lot of cash on Arrow's editions, limited and the 'regular' one, sold out long ago, so I won't be triple-dipping, no sir.



Who am I kidding, right?

TinmanLee Aug 02, 2019 @spawningblue Now that is better news. Scorpion and Ronin are companies I don't mind dealing with. They usually do a good job and I don't feel ripped off, too. As long as it's not that drive in garbage, and hopefully an upgrade.

Top contributor Jompa Aug 02, 2019 Now, i want a BD of The Beyond from a 4K scan

stairfox Aug 02, 2019 This is one of my favorite Fulci films. It'll be nice to see all the gore in 4K.

geminidreamatl30 Aug 05, 2019 @Jompa Grindhouse Releasing released a couple years ago a 3 disc limited edition set of the Beyond remastered but I do not know if the scan was 4K or not. I own that one and it looks pretty good.
