They will also release "Opera a.k.a. Terror at the Opera" and "Martin" in special edition. From what I?ve read, both "Opera a.k.a. Terror at the Opera" and "Martin" will be 2 dvd editions. Check out their other releases because almost all of them have exclusice extras, so far I?m a proud owner of "Sleepless", "Macabre" and "House By The Cemetery".

Oh my, that certainly peaked my interest.

Would be especially nice is this is a Region Free BluRay. I know some Arrow's dics are, but since Blue Underground has the rights here in the states, this one will most likely be locked to Region B.

I'm not sure that Arrow region locks their media. Either way I'm getting the dvd version. I've been waiting for this ever since I heard about it a few months back.

I think Horrorhound magazine is having an article devoted to this release next month.

Based on Arrow's previous work, my guess is that they will probably make it region free - UNLESS they are under contractual obligation from the licensor to make it region-locked. Sometimes the rights holders are a pain about this, but I don't see it being in Arrow's financial interest to make this a region locked title if they don't have to, seeing that, with those extras, they are in a very good position to eat into Blue Underground's market share.

If it turns out to be region locked, buy the Arrow Dvd for the extras and the Blue Underground Blu-Ray for the movie. I know it could turn out expensive for some people but for those of you who love the movie is an option.

I will ask in the Arrow forums if they already know the region of the Blu-Ray.

Wonder how this will compare in terms of picture quality to the upcoming Blue Underground ? It would seem to have the edge as far as extras go.

Stige · 03-18-2010, 09:10 AM

either this or the blue underground , getting tired of buying this title

and the blu will be region free

Does anyone know the technical specs of this Arrow release? The Blue Underground has DTS HD Master 7.1. If the specs on the Arrow disc are the same, that'll be the one for me.

News from the Arrow forum...
