Is the metal slipcase a Canadian thing, then?

Yes. I had it listed only as "Frighteners, The" because I had forgotten that there were actually TWO Frighteners releases. The original release from way back and the Peter Jackson cut. I amended the list to show the director's cut.

Van Helsing Ultimate sc
I don't think it was just Canadian because i remember when the 3 disc set came out, seeing the ad in the Best Buy flyer showing the metal case, but i passed on it since i didn't need the Frankenstein, Dracula, Wolfman movies that were on the 3rd disc. I'm pretty sure it was the sc was international packaging. Have there been "Canadian only" slip cases in the past? I guess it would make sense, i've just never seen them...
Yeah, that dude was a tool, charging $20..i got him down to $17 (because i wanted insursance and tracking).
btw, your PinP and Elf sc are in the mail....

King of New York Special Edition
Hey, does anyone out there have the King of New York Special Edition (great movie) with slip cover? i used to have it, then sold it but kept the slip cover. I just bought it at Best Buy and i think it's a different cover. When i first got it, i don't think there was any writing on the DVD case, only the clear slipcover, now it looks like this...
King of NY SE Cover
Does anyone have the original DVD that came with the clear slipcover who can tell me what it looked like? Thanks folks....

Frightener's dual releases
Hey man,
You said
I remember, cuz i had the first one as well, and i'm pretty sure it had a slipcover also, it wasn't the pure white like Jackson's but more of a light green and i think it was even embossed. I just remember liking it and thinking what a shame to lose it once i upgrade to the Director's cut.
Do you remember the first release having an sc?

I remember the reissue, no, the release i'm thinking of had the same cover graphic as the DC (a shadowy face) but the background was light green instead of white. Here's the link (btw, how do you paste the image right into this window?)..
Original Frightener's Cover
But you could be right, maybe there was no slip cover....

TV shows in list...
Thanks man,
I just put in 4 new adds for the master list and one of them was for the show Extras. How are you treating TV shows? this is a real slipcover over a normal DVD case because it's only 2 discs but i know most shows have that gatefold packaging or they're just glorified boxes to hold individual DVDs (i.e. Charmed, Firefly, etc). Are you going to list TV shows that use the classic slipcovers? Or maybe you already are and i missed it...

The general rule of thumb was if the DVD packaging wasn't reliant on being held together by a slipcase and could be sold later without it, it goes on the list. DVD releases like the Vista Series releases (Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Tombstone, Unbreakable) would not be on the list because they wouldn't be sold without the case to hold them. Early on, they were on the list but we started weeding them out as time went on. There might be a few on there still.
TV releases are pretty much in the same boat. If the release is like Extras, Ben 10 or Fosters Home For Imaginary Friends - they're on the list. If they're like the original X-Files sets, then no.
Thanks for the additions. I'll put them on now.

I found a great Thread over at the Ultimate Disney Forums. Someone made a chronological list of every Disney Slipcover. We have most of them but I thought I'd quote it here for prosperity.
http://www.ultimatedisney.com/forum/...pic.php?t=2366
http://www.ultimatedisney.com/forum/...pic.php?t=2366
Due to the excessive volume of slipcover questions, I am adding a disclaimer to the top of this post (February 2007.) Pay attention!:
IF THE TITLE YOU ARE LOOKING FOR DOES NOT APPEAR IN THIS POST, IT DOES NOT HAVE A SLIPCOVER. PERIOD.
Over the last couple months I've noticed I've come to appreciate Disney's cardboard slipcovers for some strange reason, and I think they just look neat. I've also seen a few posts here and there which would seem to indicate I'm not the only one here like that. And seeing as there have been reports of DVDs originally released with slipcovers being seen without them I thought it'd be a good idea to start a defenative listing of all the DVDs with slipcovers.
A few important things to note:
1) This list is for Region 1 DVDs ONLY (USA and Canada.) International releases are a whole different deal. Also, this does NOT count Digipacks in the extremely rare occasion that Disney releases a title in a digipack. Similarly, the outer box to the Ultimate Toy Box or the Fantasia Antholegy, which are containers for their separate keepcases, do not count as slipcovers either; nor do the Walt Disney Treasures or other kinds of special casing count. Oh, and this list only deals with "Disney" DVD releases; other Buena Vista divisions such as TouchStone and Miramax may release certian films with slipcovers, but those are not dealt with here.
2) The list is organized in CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER of the DVD release. All DVDs released prior to Beauty and the Beast DID NOT come with a slipcover.
3) ALL SLIPCOVERS unless otherwise specifically noted ARE LIMITED TO THE INITIAL PRESSINGS OF THE DISCS. Thus, if the title is older, you will probably not find copies with slipcovers anymore. (You can usually tell its duration of release by where it falls chronologically on the list, or by looking at the Ultimate Disney DVD review of the title for the release date.)
4) If you would like a slipcover for a DVD that came with one, but you did not recieve one because you purchased the DVD later (or for whatever other reason), DISNEY WILL USUALLY SHIP ONE TO YOU if you call them and ask nicely (subject to them having the slipcover around, of course.) If you need to contact Walt Disney Home Entertainment Consumer Relations for a slipcover, or for any other reason (including if you are technical difficulties with a Disney DVD), they can be reached at 1-800-723-4763 (in the United States) or 1-888-877-2843 (in Canada.)
Oh, and, thanks to Luke for his aid in maintaining this list.
Okay, without further ado, here they are:
Beauty and the Beast: Platinum Edition -- The first Disney DVD ever with a slipcover, it opens like a book to reveal an artsy description of the bonus features found on the DVD. The DVD itself is rare, having gone out of print 1/31/03, and reportedly some people have seen copies without slipcovers. My guess is that these copies had their slipcovers manually removed by someone for some reason, since the movie was available for such a short time and was the first with a slipcover, I think they all had them. Not sure though, and this is just guessing of course.
A Bug's Life: CE (2003 Reissue Version) -- The reissue of the popular Collector's Ediiton of this movie has a slipcover with a cool sort of special holographic shining effect. I don't want to really say it "glows," but I can't figure out how to describe it. It does not open like a book. Anyway, I don't know if it still has the slipcover or not, sorry. (Keepcase has same shiny effect.)
Sleeping Beauty: SE -- Opens like a book like Beauty and the Beast. Has been sighted without slipcover since release and newly pressed copies can be assumed to not have them. DVD was taken out of print 01/31/04.
The Lion King: Platinum Edition -- Opens like a book like Beauty and the Beast and Sleeping Beauty. Went out of print January 2005.
Finding Nemo: CE -- Initial copies had a slipcover similar to that of A Bug's Life CE, with a shiny effect; does NOT of opening like a book.
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2-Disc Collector's Edition) -- The slipcover does NOT open like a book, but the title is engraved on it.
In related news, the 3-disc gift set of Pirates of the Caribbean which came out last November and adds a new third "Lost Disc" did not contain a slipcover on top of the still-available-separately CE that it includes.
Alice in Wonderland: Masterpiece Edition -- Opens like a book like Beauty and the Beast and Sleeping Beauty.
The Lion King 1½ -- Opens like a book and matches the original Lion King DVD.
The Lion King II: Simba's Pride - Special Edition -- The final installment of the Lion King trilogy to appear on DVD in double-disc special edition form has a slipcover like its kin, opening like a book to reveal a description of the featuures included.
Aladdin: Platinum Edition -- Like Beauty and the Beast and The Lion King before it, initial pressings of Aladdin have a slipcover that opens like a book to reveal eye-catching visiuals describing the bonus features in the set.
Mulan: Special Edition -- It had a slipcover in its initial pressings, but it didn't open like a book, glow, or anything of the sort. Exactly the same as the keepcase cover art.
Mickey's Twice Upon a Christmas -- It does have a slipcover.
Mary Poppins: 40th Anniversary Edition -- This one's got a book-opening holographic slipcover that shines.
Mulan II -- It does have a slipcover.
Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, Porco Rosso, and The Cat Returns all have slipcovers that simply duplicate the DVD cover art.
Bambi -- It does have a slipcover which opens like a book. Unfortunately, most are missing the velcro tabs which allow the slipcover to close, instead having two sticky gobs of glue, which are not very effective in keeping the slipcover shut. Still, if you keep it on the shelf between other discs for a while it should get easier to close.
The Incredibles -- Does have a shiny holographic slipcover, but many copies in its first week were missing them.
Pocahontas: 10th Anniversary Edition -- Has a slipcover, which slips and covers, but does NOT open like a book.
Tarzan II -- Slipcover, semi-holographic, does not open like a book.
Pom Poko, My Neighbors the Yamadas - These slipcovers simply duplicate the cover art.
Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has a Glitch -- This slipcover simply duplicates the cover art.
Toy Story: 10th Anniversary Edition -- This slipcover simply duplicates the cover art, but the "10th" on the slipcover is engraved.
Cinderella: Platinum Edition -- As is now the Platinum standard, the slipcover duplicates the cover art and opens like a book to display a visual summary of the big selling-point bonus features. Unlike the gluey foul-up with the other 2005 Platinum Edition, Bambi, it DOES have velcro tabs and closes perfectly well.
Tarzan: Special Edition -- This DVD exchanges a slipcover that simply duplicates the cover artwork for an entire second disc of extras. But hey, we're collectors and we don't care, as long as it's uniform. At least it has a slipcover, right? Oh, and Disney's habit of including cutouts for the UPC underneath the slipcover reportedly started as early as this October 2005 release, but definately started in earnest in December 2005. My personal copy of Tarzan does not have the UPC cutout.
The Emperor's New Groove: The New Groove Edition -- As with the concurrently-released Tarzan reissue, this wonderfully-titled DVD exchanges a slipcover that simply duplicates the cover artwork for an entire second disc of extras (and takes the 2-disc out of print at the same time.) But hey, we're collectors and we don't care, as long as it's uniform. At least it has a slipcover, right? Oh, and Disney's habit of including cutouts for the UPC underneath the slipcover reportedly started as early as this October 2005 release, but definately started in earnest in December 2005.
Kronk's New Groove
Toy Story 2: Special Edition -- The characters are also engraved on the slipcover, and it features a removable sticker calling the DVD "Woody's Roundup Edition" that, thankfully, is not on the normal keepcase.
The filthy abomination called Bambi II -- according to Luke on page 13 of this thread -- "not only comes with a slipcover, and not only does it have the rectangle on back to see the UPC underneath, but -- get this! -- it's a holographic and embossed slipcover. The titles and characters have a little bit of depth to them and when the light catches it right, it practically sings!"
Lady and the Tramp: Platinum Edition - Yes, but it doesn't open like a book.
Howl's Moving Castle, My Neighbor Totoro, Whisper of the Heart - slipcovers seem to be prevalent for Howl's than the other two, which are in fairly limited supply
Remember the Titans: Director's Cut - Yet the DVD is inferior to the film's original release
The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe - Special Two-Disc Collector's Edition only. Opens like a book and not like any previous slipcover (i.e. it doesn't duplicate the keepcase cover art at all). The 4-disc extended edition released later in the year utalized a digipack package.
Dumbo: Big Top Edition
Lady and the Tramp II: Scamp's Adventure (2006 re-release)
Brother Bear 2
The Wild
The Little Mermaid: Platinum Edition
The Fox and the Hound: 25th Anniversary Edition
Cars
Robin Hood: Most Wanted Edition
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest - 2-Disc Special Edition
The Fox and the Hound 2
Air Buddies
Cinderella III: A Twist in Time
Peter Pan: Platinum Edition
Mickey Mouse Clubhouse: Mickey's Great Clubhouse Hunt
Note: Though widely expected to have one prior to release, Disney's 2-disc collector's edition release of Brother Bear (street date was March 30, 2004) does not currently have a slipcover and never did. So don't look for one unless you want to be looking in vein.

Mickey Mouse Clubhouse: Mickey's Great Clubhouse Hunt
Note: Though widely expected to have one prior to release, Disney's 2-disc collector's edition release of Brother Bear (street date was March 30, 2004) does not currently have a slipcover and never did. So don't look for one unless you want to be looking in vein.

After Hours Horror Fest - Add?
Killing time in Target yesterday (insert "get a life" joke here) and noticed there is a new DVD Horror series in the same "Masters of Horror" vein (maybe it's Starz or someone else competing with Showtime MOH).
It's called something like "After Hours Horror Fest" 8 Greatest Horror movies collection...i'll verify today. But yes, they all have black, "matte finish" slipcovers (like the ones that came with "The Fly" and "The Fly II"). I didn't see them on the list but they definately fit the defintion stated in the slip cover charter..."DVD must be independantly sellable as a self contained entity with or without said slip cover"... I'll keep you posted.

After Dark Horrorfest
So on the ball....what's the story with these? I saw that it's Lionsgate. Did they just select a group of 8 B-Horror movies and release them or was it part of some special or what? Looking at the Horror Fest link, i'm guessing this is some film festival that they started last year and are doing again this year. Probably in NYC or LA..sounds cool. Has anyone seen the flicks?
Maybe those should be organized together with "After Dark Horrorfest" coming first like Masters of Horror for the people that might want to keep track of the whole collection? Just a thought...

Valeyard - not sure really what's consisting of a "slip cover". I looked thru the list and saw a couple in there such as 'Constantine Deluxe Edition' and 'Dogma Special Edition'? Are these the titles that have the comic book (Constantine) and the bible cover (Dogma)? Both of these have more of a slip case that the DVD slides out of more than slides over if you know what I mean?
If we are including such titles, then I also have the following but not sure if they make the list, or if they are listed somewhere and I just can't see them.
Boogie Nights Platinum
Boyz 'N' The Hood 10th Anniversary
Clerks X
Get Shorty
Harry Potter & The Sorcerer's Stone
Lord of War SE
Midnight Cowboy
Pulp Fiction Anniversary Edition
Punch Drunk Love
Seven Platinum Series
Texas Chainsaw Massacre (remake)

For my 2 cents, look at the original defination of slipcover. The DVD must be able to stand alone (be sellable / displayable) without the slipcover. The slipcover in no way can be essential to defining the DVD.
Constantine 2 disc....is a slipcover...the DVD is complete inside (my Constantine comic is inside the DVD case with the chapter insert). Granted this slipcover opens from the side and not the top, but it's still a slipcover.
Boogie Nights, absolutely NOT. You remove the cover and it's a gatefold digipak. it depends on the slipcover to make it whole, therefor not a standalone accessory and does not belong on the list. Same with Clerks X.
Boyz in the Hood i haven't seen in awhile so i'm not sure. But the rule of thumb is pretty plain. If you can take the slipcover off and you could sell what you're left holding as a stand alone DVD, then it belongs on the list. A better rule might be (not sure, cuz i haven't tested them all but)..
If there is a UPC under the slipcover..it belongs on the list...plain and simple...Any thoughts?

I know I've seen things like Punch-Drunk Love, Pulp Fiction, etc for sale used without that type of slipcover that would have been sealed as part of the original retail packaging (just picked up A Tale of Two Sisters used and might not have realized it originally came with a slipcase if not for The Valeyard's reference list unless a reviewer addressed packaging).

i know this thread is about dvds that HAVE slipcases, but my questions is; why are film companies being so stingy with slipsleeves lately??!!
many major releases during the past weeks were without one:
rocky balboa
pursuit of happyness
the holiday
turistas
smokin aces
last king of scotland
good shepherd
alpha dog
hitcher (first rogue title i can think of without one)
dreamgirls (not even 2disc one!!)
especially sony and universal seem to be cutting back on the popular slipsleeves!
i dont know about you guys, but my buying habits have changed in a way, that i am no longer willing to pay full price for plain amarays. slipsleeves i will purchase on release day for fear of missing out on 1st print, but for simple amarays i will mostly wait 3-6 months.....

Van Helsing Metal slipcover
Hey, might as well take off the Van Helsing Ultimate Edition metal slipcover from the list. I just got my "way over priced; $20 for shipping" piece of crap in the mail. It is a metal slipcover just like Ultimate T2 but on the spine is stamped (not a sticker) the words "Future Shop" (which the seller neglected to mention). Turns out "Future Shop" is a Canadian only retailer so maybe Valeyard was right and this was exclusive to Canada, but i'm positive i saw a metal slip case in a Best Buy ad or something when this came out. Who knows....seriously..who knows? Does anyone remember anything like this?
Anyway, i've got no use for it..plus it doesn't even fit the 3 disc version, only the single disc release. So after my fun little ebay rape, i'm left with a $20 paperweight. Here's a pic...
