Kino have announced for an Aug. 20 release Mario Bava's hallucinatory HERCULES IN THE HAUNTED WORLD from 1961. Taken from a 2K restoration from the original camera negative, Kino's disc will in include both the U.S. and Italian versions of the film with Italian version containing Christopher Lee's original voice as it was dubbed for the American release.
Starring Reg Park as the title character (refereed to as Ercole in the Italian version) this was Bava's first color film and stands a great example of his use of color and lighting along making a fantastic looking production on a minuscule budget.
A recent German release included a Tim Lucas commentary, but no word yet on it's inclusion or other extras.
