We have some sad news for horror fans hoping to have the Tales from the Crypt & Vault of Horror Blu-ray release in time for Halloween. Scream Factory has announced that the double feature is delayed due to a setback with locating the uncut footage from Vault of Horror:
"Sorry guys but we need to delay our upcoming blu-ray release of TALES FROM THE CRYPT / THE VAULT OF HORROR. The double feature is now scheduled for 12/2/14 instead of its originally planned 10/14/14 date.
As you know, we announced this release with the goal of presenting VAULT uncut. That is still the plan but we have run into some challenges in our process. FOX (whom we licensed the film from) does not have this original footage in their vaults and because of this we are seeking some other avenues to try to find suitable source material. One route we have pursued has been to contact The British Film Institute (BFI) since there were rumors that they had restored the film. Unfortunately, we have learned that is not the case.
We love this film and we want to be able to say at the end of the day that we did the best we could with the resources/budget we have to make this the best release possible. We’ll keep you posted on our progress and thank you for understanding our situation."
