Carrie (1976) 10/07

Amityville Horror (1979), Carrie (1976) and Young Frankenstein all due on Oct 7 http://www.releaselists.com/

I am going to pick up Carrie for sure (long as it has extras) as for Amityville I am happy with my 1-3 box for now.

Young Frankenstein is a Mel Brooks classic and since I don't own it on standard def I'll definitely buy. Carrie is top notch as well. I'll wait until I read a review on the blu-ray transfer before double dipping though.

Young Frankenstein certainly, Carrie maybe. Good to see MGM back on the slate.

Yea I think I will need to pick up Carrie on blu-ray - that is if the video is well done- some blu-rays that are released hardly are any different from the standard dvd so I usually check reviews before any blu-ray purchase

MGM Officially Announces Carrie & The Amityville Horror

FUCK YOU MGM....FUCK YOU!

Honestly....25GB blu-ray discs with no special features!!!???? (I could honestly care less about The Amityville Horror) but CARRIE? COME ON! Aren't studios trying to PUSH blu-ray sales? But no, you have MGM releasing titles for TWICE the price of other studios who are putting out FULL FLEDGED special editions for HALF the goddamn price of this shit. Utterly dissapointing.

On a more positive note, Koch is releasing Black Christmas on blu-ray scheduled to release on November 14th. (yaay!)

Well to be fair it does say No special features have been announced at this time. That's not saying there won't be any.

"Priced at $39.98 SRP each, these horror classics arrive on barebones discs just in time for Halloween."

What pisses me off the most about not having special features is:
1. There's MORE fucking space on these discs! No longer is there any need for a 2-disc special edition.
2. When I replace a title I want to get rid of the old one. (i.e. if I replace a film on blu-ray, I don't wanna have the DVD sticking around anymore. Then you end up with multiple copies of the same film. It's a nuisance.)

What Matt said. This is precisely why I'm going to hold off on the Blu-ray craze...well, that and not being able to afford it right now honestly...and I have to say, what made me so excited for the advent of dvd WAS the special features for some of my favorite films!

MGM's using Fox for distribution, which puts everything at $39.99 for the foreseeable future. I'll only buy Fox/MGM when they're on sale till they start matching other studio prices.

This will be intersting as they never got it to look very good on DVD. Unless they got a better print I don't know how it can benifit too much.
