Mysterious Island is now available to pre-order at the Screen Archives site for a November 8 release. Someone may decide this deserves a new thread, but I figured I would post the information in this one since the title has been mentioned here. I placed an order, and it came to $39.30 shipped.

Are you kidding ? I'd pay 100 dollars for the true versions of Star Wars. Even if it had the exact same features as the dvd set from a few years ago.

Believe me, the idea of overpaying for Fright Night with next to no special features doesn't make me happy, but I love the film, so I'll end up buying it, I just won't be happy about the circumstances.

That's the thing, I already have the true versions, on VHS and DVD. HD would be great, but $10 per film is my limit for an A/V upgrade. Until then, I'll enjoy the unaltered version in SD.

No market for a cult vampire film? But there is one for half the '90s catalog shit Sony does bother putting out?
Ok then...

I guess Sony has no use for money then. I'm sure they would sell a couple of copies more of Fright Night on BD than some of their worst selling and poorly chosen titles.

Well of coarse, the remake is better (production wise) because its been updated by using modern filmmaking technology. Movies weren't made with CGI 26 years ago, when the original was in production. The original Fright Night wasn't near that bad at all (as you've claimed!) The movie's overall portrayal, was intentionally meant to be campy, as a comedy/horror film. Fright Night was never a endeavor to be an Academy Award caliber movie.

Hard to say. They just licensed a bunch of titles to Image. None of the majors seem interested in back-catalogue since the bottom fell out of the DVD market. This is probably the best thing that they could have done for the title, since it probably would have been a bare-bones or non-existant release otherwise.

Me too. If I buy it and a better or cheaper version comes out in a few years, I am going to be kicking myself. If I don't buy it and that's the last we see of Fright Night on blu, i am going to be kicking myself.

And I think in the end, that's why I'm going to buy it. I have the HD presentation recorded on my DVR but this is a favorite from my younger days, Plus their choice to use the original poster art was a good one. The cover looks amazing.

Love the movie, great Halloween movie.
It was on one of the "Over the Air" HD channels yesterday, watched the last 15 min of the movie. What fun!
Will buy it next year on BR - I hope it will come way down in price.

As they're only pressing 3,000 copies, I wouldn't count on its long-term availability.
