Night of the Comet - I heard this movie was supposed to hit disc about 2 months ago but I never saw anything about it. Does anyone have the 411? Thanks.

Well I am sure PFE was faced with a lawsuit or something to prevent them from illegally releasing the film,since they do not hold the rights to it or any of the other films they have released. They are a bootleging company & a rather shitty one at that!

So best to just wait for a legit quality release. Blue Underground is releasing The Final Countdown next month,which previously was bootleged by PFE on a rather shitty disc. So there is hope of another company legally acquiring this awsome film

Thanks for the info.

MGM holds the rights to NIGHT OF THE COMETS,so it will probably be a part of their midnight movies series

MGM let's get this out!
I recently watched this on vhs again my copy is so warn out i can hardly make out the faces of people in some scenes.

I think the original release was going to be fullscreen barebones. I'm not sure about the OAR but bareboning it (heh) would've hurt (double "heh").

Knowing it's in MGM's hands makes me a lot more comfortable.

Until MGM or somebody does something with it I'm enjoying MY fullscreen barebones DVD copy I burned off my TiVo

Is that true? My old VHS is CBS/Fox. The movie was distributed in the theaters by 20th Century Fox and Atlantic Releasing Corporation and Paramount distributed it for TV.

movie was released by Atlantic, whom at the time, sold their stuff to cbs/fox (ALPHABET CITY, THE ATTIC, ROADHOUSE 66 etc). Then they made a deal with paramount videos, and sold their titles to them (MODERN GIRLS, TEEN WOLF, NORMADS, STREMETIES, STEELE JUSTICE, GARBAGE PAIL KIDS, ECHO PARK, STORMY MONDAY).

As you know, ATTIC, ALPHABET CITY, NOMADS, EXTREMETIES , TEEN WOLF, ECHO PARK, ROADHOUSE 66, STORMY MONDAY , VALLEY GIRLS are now on MGM DVD, so it is inevitable they own COMETS, as well as GARBAGE PAIL KIDS.

My friend used to own a badly worn tape copy of Night of the Comet. It was cheesy, but I loved it! It was the perfect midnight movie for a sleepover. Hope to see it on DVD soon enough!
