POLTERGEIST II in mono....
I was on another site and discovered this:
"Poltergeist II: The Other Side/Poltergeist III -- anamorphic 2.35:1 widescreen with mono audio for II and anamorphic 1.85:1 widescreen with DD 2.0 audio for III. Original theatrical trailers will also be included." POLTERGEIST II in mono!!!!!!!!! How can this be? My LD edition wasn't mono. I hope that this is a misprint. |
=P
Part II was OK, but a bit weird for me. III sucked so bad that I never even finished watching it. So, you're not out anything at all.
|
I liked part 2 and agree with you concerning part 3. The sound issue on part 2 is what I can't understand?
|
That may be the way the original theatrical prints were mastered. I dunno, I only saw the first one in the theater, and it was really crappy stereo.
|
My LD copy of part 2 was in 2.0/stereo/surround.
This makes no sense as to release this title in mono! |
I agree - too bad it's in Mono, but at least it's finally released on DVD. :)
|
Agreed, Geofferson, having POLTERGEIST II in anamorphic is a real treat. Still, the mono specs may indeed be a mistake,
as a 2.0 stereo surround soundtrack was available on LD. We'll have to wait and see. |
MGM has released Part II with a 2.0 surround track on DVD in other regions, so releasing it mono here would be rather odd.

Hmmm... 2.0 surround is probably what it will have but who knows! I am taking that this release will be a flipper, II on one side and III on the other?
|
Anyone know the expected release date?
|
August 26th
|
God is in his holy temple!
|
That's likely an error; I'm sure the DVD will be stereo/surround.

Julian Beck (The Preacher Guy) has to be one the scariest dudes ever in film. It scared the beejesus out of me when I saw this on TV.
I have a quick question about his character: Did he play it as a homage to Night of the Hunter? I remember watching Night of the Hunter and thinking they ripped off all the scary moments from that movie? Or was it just me? |

Julian Beck was also the banker in "Miami Vice 2:The Prodical Son" sequal to "Miami Vice".
I just looked at my "Polterguist II: The Other Side" and pre-record Vhs says Dolby Surround Stereo 1986. I own both P1 on disc and P2 on vhs from MGM/UA printed on spine and face with red and black text, on a semi-gloss Silver color background. Favorite scene when all the butterflies seek (tall) real name Will Samson, there was a simular sceen in disc "The Craft". |

If I play it on my t.v. with the sound really loud and pretend its in surround, will they take me?
