Puppet Master Box for $50.

Wow I might have to place an order in the next couple weeks.

When you click on the Puppet Master set, it's showing it's availability as a "pre-order". Any idea why that might be?

Boy, I sure am glad that I paid $100 for the Puppet Master box set when they started selling them again at an extremely limited quantity or however they put it...

digitalG

How does the international shipping fair?

Full Moon's DVD's consistently are of very poor quality and are at best from Laserdisc masters, if you are lucky.

Plus they are way over priced, even at 50% off.

Greg613

Me too. I guess limited time meant from then on and limited quantity meant 100K.

i may bite for 50 bucks

The Puppet Master set is really tempting to me at $50. I might have to pick it up.

How do you get the 50% off? The site still has them at full price and there's no mention of the sale or coupon anywhere on it.

Looks like it starts 12/7/07.

dcrw6

Oh, okay. Forgot about the date. It's finals week at school and all the dates start to hold no meaning when they all blur together. Thanks.

This is unfortunately true, at least with the Trancers DVD I bought a few years back. It still had the "end of side 1" artwork and fade that would be on a LD, stuck in the middle of the movie. They couldn't even be bothered to edit it out. I never bought another title of theirs on DVD because of it. Too bad, because I really do enjoy some of their cheesy but fun B-movies.

Living Dead

Aren't the majority of their movies also in fullscreen? That's the main reason I've never bought them.

joltman

Yea, keep in mind the majority were released direct-to-video. Actually, were any Full Moon films released theatrically?

Pizza

I just rechecked and you're correct. However, in the middle of a sequence it does fade to black close to the 39 minute mark and then the picture pops back on. I must have gone into LD flashback mode when that fade happened.

I interviewed Charles Band back in the Full Moon heydays and he was shooting for "Shrunken Heads" to be their first FM theatrical release, but I don't think it happened unless it was limited. I believe the goal then shifted to get one of the Puppet Master sequels onto the big screen and, I assume, with similiar results. I don't know what happend after that.

I thought Puppet Master played theatrically? I also thought that Meridian got a Theatrical release in Europe? Regardless I'm sure they were all shot with home video, open matte in mind.

That being said I've transfered all my old Full Moon VHS tapes onto DVD-R and to be quite honest a lot of them look better than the transfers on the DVDs Full Moon has released. I don't think Charles Band officially ownes these films, or at the very least does not have access to the negatives due to the weird legal situation with Paramount, hence no remastering. But that being said it would be nice if he could have thrown some commentary tracks on some of the releases.

By far the only Full Moon/Band DVD self release that I thought was very good was "Tourist Trap", it's a nice transfer, great extras, etc.

Well I bought Puppet Master box set and Subspecies box set.

DVD Polizei

You're a brave man.

BSTNFAN

Did you get a confirmation e-mail? I didn't.

I'm pretty irritated by the shipping cost. $8+ for the cheapest shipping for the Trancers set? A 5-disc box set for $8 shipping? That's worse than Columbia House, which has outrageous shipping costs for box sets. Where's the Media Mail option? I won't be ordering the Trancers set at $30 + an artificially and unnecessarily high shipping cost.

bipartite

I got an E-mail right after I placed my order it was titled NEWORDER from orderdesk @ fullmoon.com

I notice their prices don't seem to be 50% off anymore.

BKenn01

This is keeping me from buying the puppetmaster as well.

jmj713

What's keeping me from buying the PM box is hope naive as it is of actually seeing these films remastered.

gribalski

I know my brother saw The Creeps (a Full Moon release) years ago in a movie theater and not only was it 2.35:1 but also in 3-D(!). Granted, this was part of a Full Moon special night, where Charles Band and Phil Fondacaro were in attendance. I know Shrieker was also shot in 2.35:1, don't know if it ever played theaters though.

I too am reluctant to go in for the PM box, if they aren't remastered. I used to own some PM laserdiscs and those seemed to be a bit better looking than the DVD releases.
