Goddamn, who would have guessed that '09 would be such a good year for horror fans?

And for those of you wanting more AB titles on Blu, see my post in the HD forum. Some VERY good stuff is in the pipline.

Excellent! The replacement music on the previous DVD sucked hard boiled eggs.

JackBurton · 07-18-09, 01:43 PM

Glad to see Anchor Bay appears to be waking up from hibernation.

GizmoDVD · 07-18-09, 01:53 PM

Sweet!

I'd love a Blu release of this as well...but I'll take the DVD.

LickTheABCs · 07-18-09, 01:56 PM

You can't see it, but right now I'm doing my "I'm totally buying" dance...

The Monkees · 07-18-09, 02:14 PM

I've been holding off on buying this for years and I am so glad I did. Great news!!

I hope there's some special features

Torchur317 · 07-18-09, 02:38 PM

Restored music? SOLD!

Alan Smithee · 07-18-09, 02:47 PM

They must have gotten a big deal with Sony/Columbia Pictures since they're also putting out Hardbodies and Spring Break. Wonder what else might come out?

I have the old laserdisc of Happy Birthday To Me, then I got the DVD for 2 bucks at Big Lots just because I was curious about the music changes. It seems to be a 'temp track' print before the actual music was finished- quite odd.

Mr-Sardonicus · 07-18-09, 02:51 PM

holy cow! pigs are flying!

Mr-Sardonicus · 07-18-09, 02:53 PM

i wonder if it will also include the previous disc's wrong "temp" track as well (not that anyone really wants it). That temp track version is now the rare one! Ha!

writer106 · 07-18-09, 03:33 PM

I haven't seen this in a few years. I first saw back in high school because one of my friends had it on VHS.

asianxcore · 07-18-09, 04:06 PM

About fuckin' time. This is great news!!

Artwork is pretty rad too.

Mountain Biker · 07-18-09, 05:21 PM

GREAT news indeed! I love the original score - very creepy and atmospheric. So glad to hear it (and the original poster art) will be included.

TomOpus · 07-18-09, 06:09 PM

Good news but I'm going to wait for reviews to see how it turns out.

Ghostface180 · 07-18-09, 06:21 PM

I'm excited

droidguy1119 · 07-18-09, 08:15 PM

Have heard of this movie for years but have not been able to see it. Hooray!

marctheknife · 07-18-09, 09:55 PM

I've never watched this, but I will probably Netflix it. The artwork is a big improvement over the last version.

dkedvd · 07-18-09, 11:29 PM

Nice!

johnbook · 07-19-09, 12:15 AM

Haven't watched this since it's VHS release back in the early 80's, i remember i was in middle school and watched it at my friends house, first time i skipped school, damn the good ole days.

Oliver Clothesoff · 08-06-09, 12:59 PM

This has been on Comcast's On Demand service in high-definition, so here's hoping a blu-ray release is planned, as well.

riotinmyskull · 09-15-09, 10:28 PM

pre-order price just dropped to $9.99 at amazon: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg.../-/B002HGRI96/

Geofferson · 09-16-09, 09:05 AM

Just put my order in.

lanemyer74 · 09-19-09, 10:16 AM

DeepDiscount has this up for pre-order & with a LIMITED TIME EXCLUSIVE OFFER!
"To help celebrate its release on DVD, for a limited time only, each copy of the film comes with six balloons featuring the unique instruments of death used by the killer! That's right, you get a cult classic with death balloons! Does it get any better than that?"

It's currently only $9.16. So not only is it cheaper than Amazon but you also get these cool balloons as a bonus! I already put my order in for this.

GizmoDVD · 09-19-09, 12:17 PM

Ordered mine, thanks!

NoirFan · 09-19-09, 12:21 PM

I'd be more tempted if this was uncut and/or included extras.
