Is Target selling "Interview with the Vampire" for $10?

Please correct me if I am wrong, but is Target selling "Interview with the Vampire" for only $10 at it's B+M stores or did I just imagine reading this online?

I could swear that I saw someone hear post that, but my local Target did not have it.

Yep, saw it for $10 when I went to Target to pick up Oz. Bear in mind that the transfer is mediocre and the only sound option is a Dolby Digital 5.1 legacy track, something of a downgrade from the DTS track on the DVD.

One of the most disappointing Blu-ray purchases I have made out of hundreds of titles. This is barely worth $5, much less $10. Warner clearly used an older telecined master as the basis of this disc and then stuck inferior audio on it in comparison to the decade old dvd.

Very doubtful this will ever get re-released on Blu-ray in the next 5 years if ever.

I bought this awhile back and it's definitely worth $10. It's not a perfect transfer but it's a nice upgrade and I was happy with it.

The audio sounds more like an old vhs tape rather than a Blu-ray. The pq is ok at best, but the audio track is buy far the worst I have ever heard for a major title on Blu-ray.

My Targets have all done a BD reset. They removed the BD section on the back wall near the new releases. Now they only have the BD aisle. This really blows since they have basically cut their BD selection in half. So they no longer have Interview with the Vampire, or the other 9.99 titles. Only Bullitt survived.

Not true here in Austin... the Target near my house has expanded their Blu-ray section to take up 2 sides of one aisle with 2 endcaps ("New Releases" and "Hot Blu-Ray Bargains" or such).

Guessing your area isn't doing well in the Blu market.

Hmmm... Perhaps my stores haven't completed the reset? Maybe they're going to do the other side of the aisle later. I did notice they are clearancing the Atlantic storage racks, so that aisle might become available...

EDIT: One of my stores now added another endcap on the pre-existing BD aisle. So there is one side of an aisle, but with 2 endcaps. Interview with the Vampire is in the new endcap they added. I hope my stores get 2 sides of an aisle like the store you mentioned. They definitely need more BD's...
