Well it's about time! Count me in for a preorder. Now can someone please bring along rereleases of other overpriced favs, TimeRider and Quatermass & the pit.

rxfiend · 03-21-2011, 12:34 AM

Good deal, I missed it the first time it came out.

SaxCatz · 03-21-2011, 01:36 AM

Woohoo... day 1 since I also missed out on the original...
Funny thing is, I remember when you could buy the original Goodtimes DVD for $3.49...
HA!
* edit- I guess it was VCI & not GoodTimes. Oh how the memory fades...

SaxCatz · 03-21-2011, 01:43 AM

Looks like its not available on Amazon yet...
Keep us posted when the pre-order link goes up!

One of my very favorite made for tv horror flicks! Very glad this is getting another release. Classic Media usually does a good job, at least they have with the titles I have bought.

It came up on the first page when searching.

And it actually originally came out through VCI, which I remember had said they were working on re-securing the rights.

Hen's Tooth will just port over the existing disc, but it is not a bad thing in this case as far as I remember.

Ash28M · 03-21-2011, 03:33 AM

It's about time. I'll be picking it up.

Shawn Francis · 03-21-2011, 03:36 AM

You can also get it at DVD EMPIRE. There's also a commentary included, too!

Anthropophagus · 03-21-2011, 03:47 AM

I loved this film as a child and was also quite pissed that I missed the initial dvd release, will pick this up for sure.

Dobby · 03-21-2011, 07:17 AM

Surprised Hen's Tooth is still in business. They are awful in terms of quantity of availability. As soon as all 100 copies are gone it will quickly be OOP again. Hopefully that doesn't end up being the case.

Erick H. · 03-21-2011, 07:37 AM

Glad to see it out again.It played in 35mm a couple of months ago in Durham.Part of The ''B'' Movie Film Festival.Also screened THE INCREDIBLE MELTING MAN,FROGS ,the theatrical release of the 70's THE AMAZING SPIDERMAN TV show pilot,GRIZZLY and a couple of others.

Of course, right after I broke down and the OOP VCI disc. Typical. Well, I can just wait for a good sale at Deep Discount or Amazon before picking up the new one.

Two questions:

- Anyone know if there was any reason for the different covers for the VCI release? Is any one cover particularly more rare than another? You can view the different covers at the amazon link below:

- Has anyone else ever noticed or commented on how much Bernie Casey's makeup resembles Calibos from the original CLASH OF THE TITANS? Was there a common makeup artist on both films? Did CLASH just steal the look? It's always struck me but I've never seen anyone else mention it.

I don't know if one is rarer than the other, but they aren't any different in terms of features and what not. VCI did something similar with the original CHILDREN SHOULDN'T PLAY WITH DEAD THINGS! disc, they altered the artwork on that one slightly and the disc art as well. But that disc never changed until the 35th anniversary edition came out.

Nice!

I own the old VCI disc, but I'll definitely be picking this up for that commentary.
