Massacre at Central High Coming to Blu-ray and DVD

Massacre at Central High Synapse Films Blu-ray


Synapse Films has announced plans to bring the 1976 cult classic, "Massacre at Central High" starring Andrew Stevens, to Blu-ray and DVD in 2016. This will be the HD debut for the film as well as it being authorized by Director, Rene Daalder. Synapse Films says that work is already underway as Mr. Daalder has already supervised and completed an HD transfer. Synapse Films is working on locating the original sound elements as well as having restoration work done on the new HD transfer. There is nothing to report at this time as far as special features are concerned but Synapse is hoping to include some on their release. They say that they may be able to share some frame samples in the near future to give fans a glimpse of what they can expect next year.

*UPDATE*

Synapse Films has shared some photos along with the following message. 

"These are just a few samples. These are compressed screengrabs in 720p for a version we were using for restoration reference. Just wanted to have a few shots to show for the fans to see the difference in previous video versions."

Considering they're 720p and not even from what will eventually be the finished product after restoration work is done on the new transfer, I'd say this release will look very good.
