Anybody heard release dates for Night of the Comet or Night of the Creeps???
Just curious as I am anxiously awaiting both these classics on DVD...Anybody heard any news on a release date for a region 1 DVD ?? I know these exist as low grade Region 0 on Ebay but am really looking for a Special Edition or just a flat out Region 1 release here in the states...

How is the quality of your satellite copies? Did you record them directly to DVD on a DVD-recorder, or capture them via computer or TIVO and subsequently burn a DVD? I assume, of course, that there is a lousy station bug, in the lower-right corner, which would ruin the image for me...
I have a 1987 3M laserdisc version of NIGHT OF THE CREEPS... I liked the TV version better, it tied up more loose ends...
Here's hoping these classics finally make it to a good quality Region 1- release. Is it a rights issue?

you would not be able to tell it isn't true DVD quality. i was actually given the copies so don't know exactly what taped from, but don't want to go into further as that is frowned upon here. sorry.

I talked to Kelly Maroney about Night Of The Comet about a year ago. She said that a commentary track had been recorded for a DVD but that there were indeed rights issues holding it up...possibly for good.

I have a copy of "Night of the Creeps" on DVD that I recorded off digital cable when it was on a while back. Wish I knew someone who had a digital recording of "Night of the Comet"..... (hint, hint)

I'm simply going to go apesh*t if Night of the Comet doesn't come out on DVD soon. It's one of my top 5 remaining wants. So everybody look out and maybe...back up a tad...

Night Of The Comet has been playing on the HD cable channel where I live lately, so there is an HD transfer out there somewhere.
All the copies you see on EBAY are bootlegs and are crappy at that.
I think they are ripped from rental store copies that have seen every VCR in America.......

Gave up waiting for the dvd, so I just recorded the HD version on my DVR
