who knew this would make a official release here in the states

Lament Configuration Puzzle Box

yet it is... anyone want my R2 edition??

The Man with the Golden Doujinshi

Have you found details anywhere or will it be exactly the same as the other one?

Giles

according to the listing from DVD Aficionado, it's the same.

Torchur317

How is this even possible in the states?
Anchor Bay owns 1 & 2....

Paramount owns 3....

dino88

amazon's product details:
discs - 1
run time - 285 mins

Huh???

Giles

I was thinking the same thing... beats me (?)

Giles

it does seem odd, that I've only found info regarding this release from DVDAf and Amazon, yet Anchor Bay's website doesn't denote any info on this release. Since AB is releasing 'Hellraiser I' on bluray that day, I guess they'll be milking the Hellraiser discs for all their worth.

Matthew Ackerly

So its just the first one in that packaging??

dino88

I just checked the specs on the region 2.

It contains Hellraiser 1-3, and a bonus disc of extras (4 discs total)

I already own the new versions of part 1 & 2, so I can't see myself paying $42 for part 3 (which I didn't like) and the box.

FYI, Hellraiser 2 (20th anniv. ed) is on sale at best buy for $7.50

Giles

Hellraiser 2 is missing a commentary track that IS exclusive to Box set release (director and writer)

curious to see if the DTS sound mixes are included as well.

supposedly the new version of Hellraiser I is the R-rated cut of the film and not the unrated cut (hammer death only) that was in the tin edition - is this true?

DiedLaughing

For some reason Part 3 is currently out of print...
I got the new editions of 1 & 2 recently as well although I did pay less
than $10 each. I would still probably pick up this set...

Matthew Ackerly

Maybe Paramount outsourced the rights to Anchor Bay like they did My Bloody Valentine to Lionsgate.

Giles

I noticed that too, since searching Amazon websites didn't find Paramount's edition.

The studio listed on the Amazon listing is 'Video Treasures', which is apparently what Anchor Bay used to known as. That's weird.

I just found this at videoeta, it lists the Hellraiser Collection as coming out on April 21, 2009 with three discs.
BTW, thanks Dino for pointing out that part 2 is on sale. I already have the newest versions of 1 and 3, so I'm probably going to go get that at BB and pass on this set.

Giles

some of the information pertaining to certain discs from Amazon (in pre-order status) tends to be on the vague side.

Giles

one word Anchor Bay: 'clusterfuck'

tylergfoster

Interesting, although I'll wait to find out what is up with the details here.

islandclaws

I'm curious as to the details on this set as well, but unless it comes out on BD I'll more than likely pass.

SethDLH

I'll probably pass since I have the anniversary editions of 1 and 2 and the OOP 3

asianxcore

I'll have to keep an eye out on this release.

The Man with the Golden Doujinshi

The BD is the rated R version.

ReduxGuy

Dammit!!! And I just bought Hellbound the first weekend!

If it does feature the truly uncut Hell on Earth DVD - and DTS - I'll bite. It does happen to be my birthday week this comes out, so that is also gonna be a little fun.

DVD Polizei

I predict the year 2196 will be the year Anchor Bay releases Unrated editions of all Hellraisers on Blu-ray.

Of course.

It'll be a little fucking late.

Ace Of Spades

I just became happy that my (now ex-)wife kept my old Hellraiser tin, even though it was signed by Doug Bradley.
