Is the HELLRAISER/HELLRAISER II double-feature a Best Buy Exclusive?
While shopping at Best Buy over the holidays, I saw a HELLRAISER and HELLBOUND: HELLRAISER II double-feature DVD on the shelves. This was NOT the limited edition tin! It came in a keep case with a cover design like that of the recent SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT release (the poster art for both movies with a diagonal slash down the cover separating them).
However, now that I'm looking to buy the DVD, I can't find this release listed anywhere. No online site carries it. DVD Pricesearch doesn't have a listing for it. Hell, even the huge DVD database at Hometheaterinfo.com doesn't list it.
So, what's up with that? Is Best Buy really the only store that has this double-feature DVD or has someone seen this carried elsewhere?

It's the only place I've found it. I just picked this one up a week ago myself for $17.99. Couldn't beat it! But the cover art (on mine) is not the 2 posters with the slash you mentioned. Just pinhead standing with the box in his hand with the 2 titles.

I love the Hellraiser/Hellbound 2-Disc set.
But that's because I love more Hellbound than the original.
That Channard Cenobite ruled.
Anyway, I have only seen it at Best Buy.

I've only run across this at Best Buy and picked mine up many months ago. Considering the content it's a great pickup for the price and allowed me to dump my Tin for a nice profit.

As an aside, I saw Hellbound theatrically before the first film and for some reason that made it much creepier for me. (When it came out on DVD, I had pretty much forgotten both films and watched them in order. Somehow the mystery of not knowing what had happened in the first movie made the second one scarier.)
