Jess Franco’s landmark epic of violence, Night of the Blood Monster (aka The Bloody Judge), is coming to 4K UHD & Blu-ray.

Night of the Blood Monster 4K Blu-ray Details

The 1970 horror movie will get a remastered physical release on March 26, 2024, from Blue Underground. Pre-orders are coming soon.

The 4K Blu-ray presents the most complete and uncensored version of Night of the Blood Monster from a brand-new 2023 Dolby Vision HDR 4K master, painstakingly restored from various European vault elements featuring additional nudity, bloodshed and what Christopher Lee himself called “scenes of extraordinary depravity!”

Horror icon Christopher Lee plays Lord George Jeffreys, the infamous and ruthless judge and Lord Chancellor in England torn by strife between the reigning King James II and William of Orange. Convinced of doing what’s necessary, the cruel judge mercilessly persecutes supposed traitors who sympathize with the King’s opponent, William of Orange, as well as ”witches” who are accused of being in league with the devil.

Here’s an overview of what is contained in the Night of the Blood Monster 4K Blu-ray.
