I think so, I just looked at the shitty package and put it back.

[Shannafey]

Damn good news!! Except for the fact that all the good stuff has to come out at once, and break us. Isn't Dawn or Day coming out in August?

[mcchrist]

Woah, cool!

[robman795]

damn it's coming out in September I hate waiting but thats just me. I'm glad its getting a nice two disk set.

[moogong]

Nuts! Aug-Oct. will once again be quite a drain on the horror fan't pocket.

We've got a slew of MGM titles coming in Aug, most likely another Paramount horror slate in Sept, and then possibly Fox's horror slate in Oct. Not to mention the stuff that the other companies (Anchor Bay, Blue Underground, Shriek Show, etc.) will likely release during that time.

Of course, I guess this is a good thing that we've got so much coming at us at one time. Just gonna be an expensive fall to be a horror fan. :)

That all being said, I can't wait to own The Hills Have Eyes. :D

[thrashard76]

Maybe the second disk will be The Hills Have Eyes 2, packaged with The Hills Have Eyes as a 2 in 1 kinda deal like how Hellraiser 1 and 2 were packaged. That'd be cool. ;)

[mcchrist]

Why would anyone want Part 2 is beyond me.

[Hellbilly]

It's about fucking time!
Great news!

[rhett]

Wow! Just another reminder of why we love Anchor Bay! This should be a great disc.

[KillerCannabis]

Great news. I have part 2 on disc and while its certainly not one of the best horror flicks I've seen, it still has a certain charm to it that I enjoy. I cant wait to see the killer job AB does on the original though. This is great news.

Damn straight. ;)

Can't wait for this disc either. It's my all-time favorite Craven-movie bar none.

[Midnight Buddha]

I haven`t seen this film before so it`s going to be great watching it for the first time newly remastered with a shit load of extras. :D

[dwatts]

Well, not sure watchig it on DVD will ever compare with seeing it in the cinema, when it first came out. :)

Anyway - AB just made sales left and right. I'll be getting it. no doubt.

I haven't seen it either, but judging from what I've been reading about it, I may have to pick it up. :)

HILLS HAVE EYES, THE - Fall 2003
Finally coming to DVD after all these years is Wes Craven's classic horror shocker.__ This will be a 2-Disc Special Edition with such (tentative) features as interviews, commentary, trailers...the works._ Expect a full-blown restoration with new DTS & Dolby EX audio and more._ More details soon.__ Closed Captioned for the Hearing Impaired.

I actually kinda like THE HILLS HAVE EYES 2.

For the record, THE HILLS HAVE EYES was the first VHS tape I ever bought, way back in the 7th grade. It was a crappy EP Starmaker copy, and I got it at Montgomery Wards. I also grabbed THOU SHALT NOT KILL... EXCEPT at the same time, due to remembering a small article I read about it in Fango. Anything was Raimi was a-ok by me.

[chrishicks]

BREAKING NEWS: AB will release this in a limited ed. of only 200 copies. Then later will re-release this in a coll. ed. with 1000 copies. Then after that they will re-re-release this as an "eyes" version with 10000 copies. Then after that they will re-re-re-release this as another bootleg ed. with extra added bonus material.:D

The sad part is... it could happen.

[mcchrist]

Yeah, don't joke about that shit.

[Hellbilly]

:lol:

[NickyDoyle]

Ah, chrishicks, don't spoil the moment (even though you probably are right.)

Hills on DVD: Yippie Skippy!! :banana:

[Grim]

I've never seen this movie, and a 2-disc special edition would be a great way to bust my cherry.:lol:

[Lone Wolf]

Wow! I can't wait for this to come out. Bravo Anchor Bay
