It's been a long time since I saw this in its entirety. Great to know it's finally getting an official release!
They ran this new restoration at a special screening at the Byrd Theater in Richmond,Virginia a few months back with a Q&A afterward.I wanted to attend but was unable.Anybody see it ?
Wow...I had no idea that nuns and gloryholes went together like soup and sammitches... I wonder if there are statistics on this...
On the Dark Night Of The Scarecrow dvd page on amazon.com theres an interview with JD Feigelson and at the end of it (its about 4 minutes long) he mentions that he keeps getting asked about a sequel to the movie and he says stay tuned.Very interesting that hes actually thinking of doing another one...

I wonder if this "never-before-seen deleted scene" is the newly additional shot footage added to the ending?

Booooooo Feigelson stated that they have spent the last several months digitally remastering the original Panavision film in HD for the DVD. If it's been remastered in HD Why not release it in HD
So my bud's site is running a giveaway for this dvd, enter here for a chance to get it free! The contest is not rigged and I cannot win it, which kinda sucks for me but is good for everyone else.
Anybody heard if VCI's reissue of RUBY is gonna be 16/9 this time around ? I have the old disc but would double dip if this new version (paired with KISS OF THE TARANTULA) is anamorphic.I left a message on their site a week ago but have yet to hear back from them.
After reading that review... Thank god my copy is already on it?s way. Me wants it so bad. ________ CALIFORNIA MDECIAL MARIJUANA DISPENSARIES
