1. All the extras from the DVD edition will be present and accounted for on the BluRay

2. With the exception of the Deleted Scenes & Frankenstein Interview, all of the other video extras are being re-outputted right now by myself in HD. The documentary, theatrical trailer, TV Spot (in 4x3 obviously), Still Gallery, and Storyboard Sequence were all originally shot and/or transferred and posted in HD and then downconverted for SD on the DVD edition. So now we can offer them all in HD, which is a very generous option that Lionsgate has allowed me to exercise.

3. The Deleted Scenes section has been expanded and updated to include a series of moments that were featured on the film's TV Version that were not included on the previous DVD's Deleted Scenes section. Also the Storyboard Seqeunce now includes a direct picture-in-picture comparison between the storyboards and the final scene from the movie itself.

4. MONSTER SQUAD FOREVER!, the feature-length doc has been given a spit polish and nip and tuck here and there and features some footage not seen in the original version. Again everything was shot in HD, and its looking so much better than it did on the original DVD. It also plays a lot better and without as much repetitive information as before. The post-production on this doc was extremely rushed back in the day, and this version represents what would have been the final edit had I had a little more time to finesse the final product. The time crunch was no one's fault, it was just a reality due to the project's expansion from a one-disc set to a two-disc set late in the game.

5. The transfer of the film itself is a big time WOW. Fred Dekker went back in to give this transfer his final OK (another generous offer from Lionsgate) and it simply blows the previous version out of the water...as you'd expect, but seriously it's a winner.

6. Normally I wouldn't get too excited about menus, but wait til you see what Lionsgate and Fred Dekker have cooked up for the BD menus on SQUAD. Really affectionate and kick-ass stuff!

So I sincerely hope you'll all consider a SQUAD upgrade in November. Trust me, it will be worth it!

Awesome. I'm definitely in for it...

Definitely looking forward to your thoughts on the A/V Quality of MBD, Gizmo.

I already have the SD, but I wouldn't mind double-dipping on that title. I'm assuming the gore footage added back into the film is in the same condition as the SD release?

GizmoDVD · 11-06-09, 02:01 AM

I skipped through it and it looks like a bit of DNR has been applied. I'll give it a full watch over the weekend. I noticed a pretty big improvement over the DVD though. Out of all of them I'm looking forward to watching MBV.

Rammsteinfan · 11-06-09, 11:28 AM

Is Monster Squad worth the upgrade? I already sold my old copy so I hope I made a wise choice...

What about $12?

I just found "My Bloody Valentine" and "Monster Squad" early at Best Buy if anyone is interested. I forgot to check for "Cujo" and the others but I imagine they're out already too. I can't wait until the kids hit the sack and I can check it out.

Robert · 11-17-09, 06:35 PM

Picked up Way of the Gun at Best Buy today.

Sorry, yes. MBV finally has the trailer.

Adam Tyner · 11-18-09, 07:27 AM

Awesome! Thanks.

KillerCannibal · 11-19-09, 08:16 PM

I'll wait until I see these at Wal-mart for $10/each, which given their typical pricing on LG titles should be Day 1.
