Eureka Entertainment: 4K Restoration of The Old Dark House To Be Released Theatrically and on Blu-ray (UPDATED)

Eureka Entertainment has announced that it will bring to UK theaters and Blu-ray the recent 4K restoration of James Whale's classic horror thriller The Old Dark House (1932), starring Boris Karloff, Melvyn Douglas, Charles Laughton, Lilian Bond, and Ernest Thesiger.

UPDATE: Technical specs and bonus features for the upcoming Blu-ray release have been provided below.

The restoration will open in select theaters across the United Kingdom and Ireland from April 27, while the Blu-ray release will be available for purchase on May 21.

Also included with this announcement is a brand new theatrical poster for the new restoration.

Frankenstein director James Whale turned J.B. Priestley's novel Benighted into a nerve-jangling tale that became the template for all spooky-house chillers to come. Stranded travellers stumble upon a strange old house, and find themselves at the mercy of a highly eccentric and potentially dangerous family. This atmospheric thriller features an unforgettable post-Frankenstein horror role for Boris Karloff, as the hulking, disfigured butler Morgan. Also starring in early-career roles are Melvin Douglas, Charles Laughton, Raymond Massey and Gloria Stuart of Titanic.
