Was there a "double feature" DVD put out containing Prince of Darkness?

I'm wanting to buy Prince of Darkness (new or used) and I could have sworn that a while back, Universal put out a "double feature" DVD that included Prince of Darkness and another film (perhaps another Carpenter film) on the same DVD, but I can't find it anywhere on Amazon. Does this disc exist?

To anyone who has bought any of those triple feature discs before -- are they all on the same disc? That's fine with me as long as the picture quality is the same as if it was on its own disc. Is the quality the same?

The Universal Triples have tended to be 2 discs (one single sided, one double sided -- the Psycho one wasn't a flipper, but I can't speak for others), but a few of them are three separate discs.

The Sony and Paramount Triples usually are three individual discs. Usually just repacks of existing titles.

The Warners Quads are two double-sided (flipper) discs. I've had a couple (Hammer Dracula, Superman) of these are they're no different then the stand alone single discs.

In the case of this set, I believe it will be three discs, but I also believe that this triple feature never actually made it to stores. It was scheduled to be released in 2007, if I remember correctly, and it never actually came out. Too bad, I would have considered picking it up. Maybe they'll do a Wes Craven one as well (with The Serpent and the Rainbow, The People Under the Stairs and Shocker) and it will finally come out.

Okay, thank you for saying that, because I thought it was really weird that I couldn't find even a listing of this on Amazon or any sites that sell DVDs.

Guess I'll have to just buy Prince of Darkness on its own.
