Sorry Guys, but this was the closest catagory I could get to with this wonderment...how is it possible that The Horn Blows at Midnight is unreleased on DVD? Did Turner buy it or something?

Instead of many small flakes, I want one giant twelve ounce flake!

THE HORN BLOWS AT MIDNIGHT is the property of Warner Brothers. (Turner Entertainment acquired the pre-1949 WB library from MGM/UA in 1986; Turner Entertainment was purchased by Time-Warner in 1996.)

WB's Warner Archive will eventually release HORN. Warner Archive has a Facebook page, and regulary answers member questions and requests about their MOD-DVD program. THE HORN BLOWS AT MIDNIGHT is in their long-range plans.

In regard to HORN, as well as GEORGE WASHINGTON SLEPT HERE and IT'S IN THE AIR, they've said the current masters are videotape-sourced masters (which is what TCM still uses) and are not acceptable for their digital remastering standards. The library's film elements need to be re-transferred to digital format, but they are not in the best shape, and Warner may need to do restorations of the negatives and create new prints.

thanks for the info shemp! In the meantime, at least I've found a cheap place to convert VHS (I assume it's legal as long as it's for personal use)!

Ole Mel don't care..

The Warner Archive posted the following update on its Facebook page, in reply to a question on the status of THE HORN BLOWS AT MIDNIGHT...

We are in the process of completing remastering of this film. The DVD release date has yet to be firmed up, but it is in the works.
