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

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

Re: Happy Birthday To Me re-release 10/13

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.

Re: Happy Birthday To Me re-release 10/13

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!

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.

Re: Happy Birthday To Me re-release 10/13

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.

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

Re: Happy Birthday To Me re-release 10/13

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

Re: Happy Birthday To Me re-release 10/13

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?"

Photobucket

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.

Re: Happy Birthday To Me re-release 10/13

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