@klu9@ohai.social @CactuarJoe@retro.pizza fwiw *some* of the 16:9/1.78:1 releases have additional picture on the sides compared to some 1.33:1 releases (some other 16:9 releases seem to be just further crops/upscales of 1.33:1 DVD releases). regardless of the original film elements i think it was matted closer to 1.85:1 for its original theatrical run. bunch of comparisons across various versions at these links, i’ll be using the shout! factory bluray #monsterdon http://www.dvdbeaver.com/film4/blu-ray_reviews_63/house_on_haunted_hill_blu-ray.htm https://www.spook-central.com/tcp/2025/06/28/house-on-haunted-hill-1959-dvd-comparison
