Re-Animator on Blu-Ray Soon
Barbara Crampton joined Twitter recently. (Although she's not verified, several of my press friends talk to and have interviewed her in person, so it's definitely her.) She's very responsive, so I asked her about Re-Animator. Today, she got back to me:

Not the most watertight, foolproof info in the world, but still, sounds good to me.

Re: Re-Animator on Blu-Ray Soon
As excited as a Blu-Ray release for this movie would make me, I'm still kinda hesitant. Anchor Bay stated a LONG time ago that they were working on this movie (along with Phantasm, Hellraiser II, The Evil Dead, and the UE of Dawn Of The Dead), but in that time, we've seen them move away from catalog releases, and let their stuff go to other companies (such as Image, which is now doing Hellraiser II, and apparently hasn't been doing the best job so far). Hopefully this'll get a great Blu release, but I'll have to wait and see what's going on with the title first...

Re: Re-Animator on Blu-Ray Soon
Yeah, that's definitely her twitter. I met her and Stuart Gordon a few weeks ago at a Re-Animator/From Beyond screening at the New Beverly in Hollywood.
I would LOVE for this to come to blu with all the previous extras. Same for the UE Dawn.

I'd be in, but as noted above, I'm skeptical about any AB catalog titles getting released on Blu-ray. Phantasm would absolutely be #1 for me.

About six months late, but it is coming out! September 4, 2012 from Image

It's also going to be released in the UK by Second Sight, as will Bride of Re-Animator, so I'm sure some of us will be waiting to see which one will be the one to get.

Re: Re-Animator on Blu-Ray Soon
$12.58 is too good of a price to pass up for a pre-order. If the reviews aren't good I'll cancel but for now I'm locked in

Re: Re-Animator on Blu-Ray Soon
People elsewhere are worried because apparently other horror titles Image released on Bd were all poor from an A/V standpoint.
OTOH, the Sony titles they released that I picked up all looked excellent. Hopefully this one will be more in line with the latter.
For $12.58 I'll upgrade over the first anamorphic release (in the large green 2 disc amaray case) that I rushed out to pick up a Media Play the day it streeted ages ago...and still have yet to watch.

Both of those had very low MSRPs and both weren't received very well.
I will probably wait until reviews come out for this one. Luckily Region Free folks have the option of the Second Sight UK release as well.

I'm going to wait for the reviews on this one. Image's Midnight Madness releases haven't been very good.
Hopefully, the Second Sight one will be good...

From the press release:
I hope that's a misprint. If not, I'll wait on the Second Sight disc.

Re: Re-Animator on Blu-Ray Soon
^ they'd be utterly stupid to release this R rated, since the whole point of the movie was to see and witness the full unrated version that was released as such to the theater in the first place.
