Evil Dead 2 - Book of the Dead Edition
 
According to Dread Central:

This time around we’re getting it wrapped up in it’s very own Book of the Dead packaging, and just like the Book of the Dead release of Evil Dead a few years back, this one is designed by effects guru Tom Sullivan. As an added bonus, this DVD case will feature a bulging eye that, when pressed, elicits a nice, bloodcurdling scream, which I’m sure will make for some very surprising moments when it’s put away on it’s shelf.

The actual movie itself will be, for the first time ever, a hi-def Divimax transfer, and reportedly a host of other goodies will come on it as well.

"wanna date?"

darkside 06-01-05 09:34 AM

Well, I bought the first smelly book of the dead so why not double dip on Evil Dead 2.

dick_grayson 06-01-05 09:36 AM

I guess my limited edition tin isn't the only one to have anymore. (don't mind double-dipping with anchor bay, for some reason)

OldBoy 06-01-05 09:38 AM

any release date?

Actually, it's only the fourth release of Evil Dead II (third release if you count the tin and the regular edition the same).

Geofferson 06-01-05 10:45 AM

Cool - time to ditch the tin!

Hopefully they keep all the extras (read: commentary) from that disc, which I hope would give me a reason to ditch my tin aside from the transfer.

Would love to see a new transfer (it's about time, actually) but I also hope there is a no frills edition... Just never been big on packaging like this I guess.

LucyMonostone 06-01-05 12:05 PM

i have the first one and i gotta say it's not really that good... the fabric is really cheap feeling.. from a distance it looks kind of cool but when you get up close and hold it.. kind of looks a bit cheap.

i would liked to see better quality.

eXcentris 06-01-05 12:27 PM

First one looked awful and stank so I'm keeping the tin.

DJ_Longfellow 06-01-05 12:49 PM

WTF...not another one....oh no

Jackskeleton 06-01-05 12:52 PM

Ha, they just find new ways of repackaging and reselling evil dead to us.

RKillgore 06-01-05 12:54 PM

So, are they going to do the same thing for Army of Darkness so you can recreate the scene where Ash has to choose between three copies of the Necronomicon?

Not to spread idle rumors, but I wonder what the likelyhood that Sam used some of his bajillions of Spider-Man money to get the necessary rights to release Within the Woods?

There is no rights issue with Within the Woods. All rights were cleared. Renaissance Pictures refused to let it be released on the Evil Dead Book of the Dead release at the last minute. No amount of money from Spider-Man will make Sam Raimi change his mind.

Never was able to get the tin, so I'll pick this one up to go with the first one.

Zodiac_Speaking 06-01-05 01:47 PM

Well, the release I have from AB is really good. But my sister can have that one, this new one looks sweet!!!!!!!!!!!

looks sweet on paper but what to you hold that cheap foam in your hand. haha. it tears easy, it smells like burnt foam if hot in room and it's hard to put with other dvds next to them IE so it needs it's own little spot on the shelf.. that being said i will probably pick it up just so my other book of the dead has a friend.

UAIOE 06-01-05 02:06 PM

So now ED2 gets a "stink of the dead" book edition?

I'm curious about these new extras, but i too hope for a regular edition that doesnt make small animals pass out from the smell.

ArchibaldTuttle 06-01-05 02:09 PM

I am totally buying this, but I'll probably just throw the packaging out, the lumpy cover will make it a pain to deal with and it won't sit right on the shelf. I think I am for good or bad one of the few people on here that could care less about all the collectible peripheral crap that comes with the actual dvd discs these days. Just give me the best transfer possible.
