Kino Lorber have confirmed that they will release on Blu-ray John Gilling's film
Mania a.k.a.
The Flesh and the Fiends (1960), starring Peter Cushing, Donald Pleasence, June Laverick, George Rose, and Renee Houston. The release is expected to arrive on the market in early 2020.
Synopsis: Dr. Knox (Peter Cushing) is an Edinburgh-based doctor of anatomy whose ideas about research on deceased human bodies are in direct conflict with a law that limits the study of cadavers to criminals who have been executed. With these legal cadavers in short supply, a pair of lower-class greedy grave robbers, William Burke (George Rose) and William Hare (Donald Pleasence), appease the doctor's needs by presenting him with illegal bodies they have exhumed. The pair soon escalate to murder.
