ADDITION: Kino - Region 'A' - Blu-ray - October 18': Kino bring us the classic made-for-television classic "Trilogy of Terror" on Blu-ray in a brand new 4k restoration. The 1.33:1 image is housed on a single-layered Blu-ray with a supportive bitrate. The image looks pretty good here, with a significant bump in quality when compared to previous SD releases. Detail is more evident and the contrast levels are more complex. Colors have changed for the better, most noticeable in the second screen capture (in the darkroom). In this shot, there is a much wider range of reds and purples on the Blu-ray, as opposed to a pretty uniform red on the DVD. This is a very good transfer for a cult-favorite TV-movie.

Kino present the film in 16-bit 2.0 DTS-HD Master Audio. There is a score by Bob Cobert (Scalpel, Burnt Offerings, Dan Curtis' TV version of Bram Stoker's Dracula, plus his The Night Strangler and The Night Stalker) and it sounds consistent and clear in the lossless. There are optional English subtitles on this Region 'A' Blu-ray.

First off, Kino give us a brand new audio commentary with film historian, Richard Harland Smith. The previous audio commentary with Black and co-writer Nolan has been ported over as well. There is also a brand new 9-minute interview with composer Bob Cobert called "Notes of Terror". The two previous featurettes on the DVD (The 17-minute "Three Colors Black" and the 11-minute "Richard Matheson: Terror Scribe") are also on the new Blu-ray. Kino have thrown in a trailer for their release of Karen Black's "Burnt Offerings". There is a limited edition booklet essay by film critic and author Simon Abrams. This release also features newly commissioned art by Jacob Philips.

Kino's Blu-ray of "Trilogy of Terror" is a nice treat for fans of this cult-classic flick. The film has quite a few interesting people involved in the production, from Dan Curtis to Richard Matheson.
