You've got a poster who says MGM didn't make any new DVD's for the August 24 release date.
Then somebody jumps to the conclusion that there's a recall. How the heck does that mean there's a recall? No one has claimed to have any inside knowledge of a recall.
"do you mean that the MGM disc which was scheduled is being recalled?"
Then, as if that weren't enough to be postively *not* jumping to the conclusion, I further clarified that it wouldn't, technically, be a recall if it were before the release date.
As you can see, nobody has jumped to any conclusions about a recall. There are still questions open, namely:
- Were there any new discs made for the new release prior to its alleged cancellation?
- Is the release actually cancelled/recalled/etc.?
The fact is, Sunday Morning didn't answer questions addressed to him to clarify certain things, but I hardly think that asking those questions (to get clarification) is the same thing as jumping to conclusions.
There is, supposedly, no DVD to recall.
A recall requires NOTIFYING parts of the distribution chain that the DVD is to be sent back. It's not something they do with brain waves. It's done with telephone calls, e-mail, letters, etc. Things that are evidence of a recall. Things that people see at work and then come home and post on the web.
On the other hand, I went to DVD pricesearch.com, and none of the sites they had linked as carrying the title actually did (Amazon still has the old version listed, no new release date on it).

i have seen the DVD and the only fact i know for this DVD is that the audio is screwed up, i dont know why everyone is so interested in tracking down a screwed up DVD, at any price. i guess it will be a showoff piece.

I was looking at Amazon marketplace and neatly tucked between a few $16.99-$17.99 etc prices was a copy for $994 FULLY GUARANTEED***Not a copy or import*** , :0
I would hope it is guaranteed not to be a copy or import. Why not just ask for a gazillon jabillion dollars ? lol.

I have the old laserdisc and the audio isn't out of sync on it (bought it used out of morbid curiosity.)

I finally tracked down a copy for my friend, and - and yeah the DVD has no audio problems, anyone who mentions it, must have a bootleg, which i'm sure Ebay was full of after the first recall, and these things topping the $100 mark everytime out.

smb-il,
got mine from the un-nameable store really quickly....ordered it monday night, received it in thursday's mail. About as quick as amazon usually is.
I agree with your assessments of the dvd(and film) and I'd say the worst part for me was the Salva-ish elements you mentioned in the blackened part of your message. Also the score was fairly awful. The film was rather entertainin otherwise though, and I'm sure if I'd seen it as a kid it'd have terrified me.
I can't see spending more than the $15 I did on it, it's no classic. But an above average horror film and good for that price.

Re: Clownhouse dvd?
These days on eBay I see a German edition as well as an apparently authorized MOD (Manufactured on Demand) overseas edition. Does anyone have any info on these? I'm wondering if they are official releases (I especially have my doubts about the DVD-R edition, I don't think they were even making MODs back then). Also wondering how is the image and audio quality.
Here are 2 examples. I'm not allowed to post URLs, but you can exchange the "*" for "."

Re: Clownhouse dvd?
Thank you. I was thinking the same, especially since after a little digging it looks like it doesn't even have a UPC/EAN.
