Classic Brit Horrors THE DARK EYES OF LONDON & THE MONSTER coming to BD

For Halloween 2021, Network is proud to present two British horror classics resurrected in high-definition for the first time ever: Edgar Wallace adaptation of THE DARK EYES OF LONDON (1939) starring terror icon Bela Lugosi, and exploitation shocker THE MONSTER (1975) directed by Hammer stalwart Peter Sasdy and starring Joan Collins and Donald Pleasence.
