The Devil Rides Out

Special Features (Blu-ray)

• Commentary #1 features Steve Haberman, Constantine Nasr, and Richard Christian Matheson.
• Commentary #2 features Christopher Lee and Sarah Lawson.
• "Kim Newman Recalls 'The Devil Rides Out'" (29:59, HD) is a very informal chat with the film critic, who never remains on any single topic for very long, preferring to jump around in time to examine the 1968 picture. The interviewee details work by screenwriter Richard Matheson, the original Dennis Wheatley novel, British influences on the feature, cast achievements, previous black magic movies, its position as a sequel to "The Forbidden Territory," the influence of Aleister Crowley, the professionalism of director Terence Fisher, and the effort's marketplace position during its release period. Most interesting is an assessment of the unfinished special effects and Newman's own thoughts on "The Devil Rides Out," which he eventually gets to.
• "Jonathan Rigby on 'The Devil Rides Out'" (24:08, HD) is a slightly calmer understanding of the feature, sitting down with the critic to explore the lasting appeal of the movie, Fisher's work on the endeavor, Christopher Lee's place in the production, casting highlights, special effects, timing with the release of "Rosemary's Baby," marketplace performance, period setting, and cult fame.
• "The Making of 'The Devil Rides Out'" (34:59, HD) is an overview of the production experience, with insight provided by screenwriter Richard Matheson, film historian Marcus Hearn, author Denis Meikle, critic Jonathan Rigby, Kiffy and Dan Stainer-Hutchins (the children of special effects supervisor Michael Stainer-Hutchins), writer Mark Gatiss, actor Patrick Mower, and author David Huckvale.
• "World of Hammer" (25:53, SD) is a 1990 episode of the British clip show, with narration provided by Oliver Reed. The focus here is on Hammer Films and their brand, featuring snippets from "Camp on Blood Island," "The Curse of Frankenstein," "Plague of the Zombies," and "Quatermass 2."
• Image Gallery (4:37) collects publicity snaps, films stills, BTS shots, lobby cards, and poster art.
• And Theatrical Trailer #1 (2:30, HD) and Theatrical Trailer #2 (2:32, HD) are included.
