Has Scarecrows ever been released in Widescreen?

BloodMan · 01-15-2005, 08:21 AM

... because its on Scream right now in a widescreen version.

I don't know where Scream gets there stuff to show on there station, but its lookin very nice.

Anyway, has this ever been released widescreen anywhere like this? on vhs or laserdisc maybe?

No. VHS and LD (which I have) are both full screen. They are probably just matting it themselves for TV broadcast. Is it the unrated version they're showing?

Did it began or ended with a studio logo, like MGM?

forum home video was the company that released it on home video
EFFIGY FILMS WAS THE MAIN COMPANY THOUGH THAT IS PROBABLY WHY NO ONE HAS RELEASED IT ON DVD

It had the MGM logo at the end.
It had some really gorey moments too... I haven't seen this in years so I don't remember what stuff looked like. But there was a hand sawing and a face stabbing that was brutal (when the guy is stabbed in the face, lots of blood jets out) So I don't really know if it was uncut or not. probably was but some shit was bloody.

I REMEMBER SEEING BOTH VERSIONS I OWN THE UNCUT VERSION ON VIDEO RECORDED PICTURE QUALITY IS EXCELLENT BUT YOU DID SEE THE UNRATED VERSION BECAUSE THE R-RAted JUST SHOWS THE KNIFE STABBING INTO THE HEAD BUT NO BLOOD...

Speaking of scarecrows , when are they going to release Dark Night of the Scarecrow on DVD ( 1981 ) staring Larry Drake .

I think Scarrecrows actually had a limited theatrical release, so it might be in a widescreen format somewhere. Wasn't BU planning on releasing this sometime?

IF BU RELEASES IT THAT WOULD BE AWESOME

ArrowBeach · 01-16-2005, 02:28 AM

But since it had MGM's logo, I assume MGM is releasing it instead??!!!

There was also a scene where a couple of those robbers are pulling money out of one of the other guy's body (he is stuffed with straw and money) and one of the guys is pulling bloodied money out of the guys severed head, from his neck. And before that the one main guy there, real hateful guy, cuts open the body from the neck down with his knife. It didn't cut away either. There was only one part where it seemed choppy cut to me, when the scarecrows gut one guy in the field. It kinda pans over to the damage then cuts way real fast and it was distracting. Everything else seemed to flow good though. The sycle hacking near the end was brutal too. To that guy's leg... Anyway, hope this gets a DVD release and an uncut one at that.

Last I heard (from the original producer), the company that owned the rights to Scarecrows after buying it from him went under.

Wow. I loved that one. That was totally creepy, and was put on television towards the rather lengthy "golden age" of television horror films, others of which included "This House Possessed", "Cry For the Strangers", "Dark Secret of Harvest Home" etc...

I have a copy of Dark Night of the Scarecrow on VHS, and it was released by Key Video, I think, which would mean that CBS/FOX owns the rights, unless it was sold off...If CBS/FOX still owns the rights, it could be awhile before this shows up on dvd, if it ever does.

Frankly, I really don't understand why more of these horror telefilms don't get released. There are SO many--especially from the early-mid 70's--that people remember and love. I'm sure they'd have an audience.

Scream? Never heard of the channel. This movie deserves an uncut/widescreen release pronto!! The director directed a zombie movie with Lou Diamond Phillips a few years back called Route 666. Not a bad flick.
