Criterion's edition of the original The Vanishing is great, and I'll happily add the (addmittedly lesser) remake to my collection!

Is it just me or is September 7 is the new Studio Wallet Takeover Day.

Terror Train, finally indeed!

Can't wait!

I'm glad I didn't spend the money on Anchor Bay U.K's import edition - which was full frame no less!

Seems like a lot of 80's slasher films will finally be coming to DVD (or re-released) in the coming months.

Cheerleader Camp ... August 3
Chopping Mall ... August 17 (not exactly a typical slasher, but the setup, formula, and execution are the same)
The Funhouse ... September 7
Terror Train ... September 7
Friday the 13th Box Set ... October 5
He Knows You're Alone ... October 5
Happy Birthday To Me ... October 26

Now I just need Final Exam, Girl's Nite Out, Hospital Massacre, Slaughter High, and a few others and I'll be set.

Great list! You can remove The Dorm That Dripped Blood since it's already out (under it's alternate title Pranks)

Mountain--

that's a bootleg/unauthorized version. It's a port from the VHS. I've watched it. It's pretty awful. I prefer my video tape.
Jef films (who released that dvd) has done this on all their releases. They also released "Nightmares in a damaged brain" and it's the CUT version. In other words, stay away from these releases!

C.H.U.D.

Whoa. When was this announced? I must have been sleeping!

DRG

Great list, and in addition to Dorm/Pranks as mentioned above, Sweet Sixteen is supposedly on this DVD set: http://www.deepdiscountdvd.com/dvd.cfm?itemID=BHV044521 called Toga Party. It's one of those ten-disc Brentwood cheapie sets. Apparently they list and descibe a movie called Secrets of Sweet Sixteen, but the actual movie on the disc in the slasher movie Sweet Sixteen. I came *this* close to ordering this during the DDD sale, but I already ordered so much.

Thanks for the tip - I'll definitely wait till a legit version is released.

demonio

look at the horrible new cover art ugh:



I'll still be getting it for sure but damn, leave good cover art alone!!

DRG

I honestly don't understand how anyone in marketing could think that cover makes the purchase more appealing to a consumer than the original artwork, whether it be a die hard fan OR a casual buyer.

demonio

I think the cover makes it more appealing to the Wal-mart $5.50 bin personally.

Ghostface180

The cover art kind of reminds me of this other '80s slasher.

Jamie lee curtis in in terror train? Cool!
