Fan-freakin-tastic. 
I was kind of hoping for Tombstone Vista style packaging, but I ain't complaining!
This is only, like, the second or third multi-disc release from Paramount, isn't it?

Wow. At only $13 I might just have to get this as a blind buy. I've tried to watch it on AMC a couple of times but after the opening titles when it switched to pan & scan, I just turn it off.

The group assembled for the commentary looks interesting. I'm seriously looking forward to this one.

Black Sunday (1976 or 1977)
Captain Kronos: Vampire Hunter
Frankenstein and the Monster from Hell
and Dragonslayer went from 10.99 or so to 13.39 also.
I have these titles pre-ordered and OUATITW at Deepdiscountdvd and their prices have not changed. OUATITW is still 13.39 at Dvdempire.com though so atleast they have not changed that price, yet. The msrp of 19.99 does seem kind of low to me for a 2 disc SE of this title.

Am i right in thinking there is a 180 min version?...if this is the case i'm suprised there aren't any deleted scenes etc.
Without being too specific can anyone elaborate 'roughly' what the added 15mins to the 'original' sustantiate to?
