StudioCanal has detailed its upcoming Blu-ray release of director Sidney Lanfield's film The Hound of the Baskervilles (1934), starring Basil Rathbone, Richard Greene, Nigel Bruce, Lionel Atwill, and John Carradine. The release will be available for purchase on May 23.

Synopsis: Basil Rathbone appears for the first time as the invincible Sherlock Holmes and says the (now classic) line 'Quick Watson, the needle!'. Holmes is called in when Sir Charles Baskerville seemingly falls prey to the family curse: a hell-hound which is said to haunt the moors of Devon. However, rather than investigate personally, Holmes opts to send his trusted colleague Doctor Watson to take up residence at Baskerville Hall, in an attempt to get to the bottom of the mystery. But what will Holmes be up to in his friend's absence?

Special Features:
  • Interview with Sir Christopher Frayling, writer and presenter of Nightmare, The Birth of Horror
  • Interview with Basil Rathbone biographer Michael Druxman
