Eureka Press Release: TERROR IN THE FOG (Masters of Cinema) Limited Edition Blu-ray - May 2025

TERROR IN THE FOG | PRESS RELEASE     A collection of crime thrillers adapted from the works of British crime writer Bryan Edgar Wallace and his father Edgar Wallace   [For immediate release] Eureka Entertainment to release TERROR IN THE FOG: THE WALLACE KRIMI AT CCC, five crime thrillers produced by Artur Brauner adapted from the works of British crime writer Bryan Edgar Wallace and his father Edgar Wallace. Available on Blu-ray as part of The Masters of Cinema Series from 26 May 2025 in the UK, and from 27 May 2025 in North America. The Limited edition boxed set of 2000 copies (per territory) will exclusively feature a hardbound slipcase and 60-page collector's book.   In the 1960s, a cycle of crime films – or krimis – became hugely popular with West German audiences. Adapted from works by the British crime writer Edgar Wallace and his son Bryan Edgar Wallace, they combined the traditional murder mystery with horror as they depicted enigmatic killers stalking their victims through foggy English landscapes – from the streets of London to isolated rural mansions. Following the early success of the cycle after the release of Face of the Frog and The Crimson Circle, veteran producer Artur Brauner launched into his own series of Wallace krimis with his company CCC Film. Presented here are five key films drawn from CCC's krimi cycle. In The Curse of the Yellow Snake, a mysterious cult wishes to lay its hands on an ancient artefact that has been brought to London from Hong Kong. The Strangler of Blackmoor Castle sees a masked murderer stalk the grounds of a vast British estate – one who brands his victims' foreheads with the letter "M." London is faced with dual threats in The Mad Executioners, as a gang of hooded vigilantes roams the streets while a sadistic serial killer is on the loose. Jack the Ripper lives on in The Monster of London City, as a series of brutal murders brings panic to the British capital. Finally, in The Racetrack Murders (or The Seventh Victim), people are dropping like flies in and around a stately home – and the murders might just have something to do with the owner's prized racehorse. With its masked killers, labyrinthine plots and gothic atmosphere, the Wallace krimi blended crime, thriller and horror elements into a potent mix that had a significant influence on both the Italian giallo and the American slasher film. The Masters of Cinema series is proud to present five of Artur Brauner's Wallace adaptations for the first time on Blu-ray in both the UK and US from new restorations provided by CCC Film, alongside a wealth of special features – including a bonus film presented in standard definition, The Phantom of Soho.   Terror in the Fog: The Wallace Krimi At CCC (Masters of Cinema) New & Exclusive Trailer https://youtu.be/RDWJid7SeRo   Available to order from UK: Eureka Store https://eurekavideo.co.uk/movie/terror-in-the-fog-the-wallace-krimi-at-ccc/   [ENDS] To REQUEST A REVIEW SCREENER and for all other PRESS ENQUIRIES IN THE UK please contact Steve Hills, steve@eurekaentertainment.co.uk   NOTES FOR EDITORS DETAILS:   Label: Eureka Entertainment    TERROR IN THE FOG: THE WALLACE KRIMI AT CCC (Masters of Cinema) Limited Edition Four-disc Blu-ray Boxed Set THE CURSE OF THE YELLOW SNAKE | THE STRANGLER OF BLACKMOOR CASTLE | THE MAD EXECUTIONERS | THE MONSTER OF LONDON CITY | THE RACETRACK MURDERS   JOACHIM FUCHSBERGER | BRIGITTE GROTHUM | KARIN DOR | RUDOLF FERNAU | HANSJÖRG FELMY | MARIANNE KOCH | DIETMAR SCHÖNHERR | ANN SMYRNER | HANS NIELSEN Directors FRANZ JOSEF GOTTLIEB / HARALD REINL / EDWIN ZBONEK 1963-1964 | 460 mins | GERMANY | CRIME / HORROR / MYSTERY | Language GERMAN | 1.66:1 / 1.37:1 / 2.35:1 OAR | Region A/B   🇬🇧 UK Blu-ray: Cert.
