So with (yes) my Internet down again yesterday as they work in the area, I actually *gasp* watched a few of the huge pile of DVDs and Blu Rays I’ve bought this year. It’s already been featured here, and I don’t know if any of you have been lusting for years to see a smashingly good print of The Screaming Skull. However, there is finally one available due to the recent Scream Factory Blu Ray. This is the sort of thing that defined a lot our childhoods, a horror film we watched on TV hoping that the final reveal/climax of the movie would pay off the long stretches of nothing much happening until then. At around 70 minutes, the Screaming Skull does have a pretty fantastic ending. No commentary track, sadly, but the disc does carry the Mike Nelson MST3K episode featuring the film. Take a look at that print to see how shoddy it always looked on TV back in the day.
