They must have heard I just got the R2 version from Amazon.co.uk a few months ago. Still haven't watched it. Fortunately, it was cheap with a favorable exchange rate. I don't think I'll double-dip unless this has some really good extras.

While I'm happy the dvd is being released and will buy it. I definitely would say the cover is still no match for the theatrical poster art which is awesome.

MONO sound.
Come on, really??
Also, looks like all we get is a trailer although I'm not surprised.
At least it's finally coming out.

Even if the poster is better, am I the only one who feels like they purposefully designed it to match the look of the Anchor Bay DVDs?
I don't care if it doesn't have extras, unremastered sound or (supposedly) ame cover art. Being on DVD in R1 at all is better than nothing.

I'm just surprised Anchor Bay isn't putting it out. I thought one of the hold-ups was that they were waiting to acquire the R1 rights to release it?

It could be a misprint, since the film was released theatrically in stereo(as well as on VHS and laserdisc). However mono audio itself, if that is the original mix of an album or movie is not 'bad' at all and can sound excellent in my opinion.

Ahh, the hand.
A three-foot-wide cardboard version of that hand has been perched atop a shelf here (and in previous homes) for the better part of 20 years now (sitting the other way around, it looks like it's casting an evil spell over my place). I was lucky (or perhaps stupid) enough to get dibs on the original theater standee from this film back in 1988 due to a relative being a projectionist at the various local theatres in my old home city. Damned thing had to nine feet tall, because it fit snug from floor to ceiling once I got it in the house and reassembled (what a chore that was!). The hand, the ball, and blades and the drill bit (and possibly Angus Scrimm) were all die-cut pieces that produced a cool 3-D diorama effect. I never planned on keeping it for long, and once the conversation-piece novelty wore off, I got rid of most of it, except the ball, its components and the hand. Today, all that remains is the hand. What was I thinking . . .
Back on topic, I also have the R2 Sphere set, which has excellent extras for PHANTASM II, so this new R1 version is a no go. Like that old standee, though, I kept the ball and blades of the R2 set and threw away all the cardboard!
