One of the European horror films most deserving of a primo disc release finally gets one when 1973’s HORROR EXPRESS chugs onto a Blu-ray/DVD combo pack later this year. We got the scoop on the specs and the first look at the cover art.

Severin Films releases the disc set September 27, with a hi-def 1.66:1 transfer from the original negative. Horror legends Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing star as scientists who board the Trans-Siberian Railway in 1906 China for a trip to Russia—one that gets interrupted when an excavated frozen humanoid creature defrosts and begins stalking the passengers. The special features are:

• “Murder on the Trans-Siberian Express”: new interview with director Eugenio Martín 

• “Notes from the Blacklist”: Producer Bernard Gordon discusses the McCarthy era 

• The Guardian 1973 audio interview with Cushing

• “Telly and Me”: New interview With composer John Cacavas

• Introduction by Fango editor Chris Alexander

• Theatrical trailer

• Easter egg

Pick up Fango #305, on sale now, for Martín’s recollections about HORROR EXPRESS.
