Saturday the 14th????
 
Saturday the 14th was supposed to be released today and as far as I can tell has been pulled...Amazon has pulled it and I called a few local stores and no one seems to have an answer for me....Anyone here have a clue what happened to the release today??? I just want to know if it has been delayed or do I need to try and get a copy of the older release from Ebay (and spend a lot more money because it is OOP)...Thanks for your time and any information would be greatly appreciated....

maybe disney will do a double feature with the sequel "Saturday the 14th strikes back"

They might actually sell a few discs.

God I loved this show when I was a kid. I taped it off HBO in the early 80's and watched it about 100 times.
I had no idea it was ever released on DVD.

I rented this from Netflix just a couple of weeks ago.

Like DeputyDave, I loved this movie when I was growing up! But after watching it again, all I can say is that it hasn't aged well at all.

By the way, it's still available for rent at Netflix.

I love this movie. I consider myself lucky that I was able to find a copy of the previous release on dvd.

Disney didn't buy Corman's library, they are just releasing a few films for him. Now that Disney no longer has Dimension, they are sort of using Cormans catalogue as a genre library. Odd move, as Disney won't release the unrated versions of many.

According to other reviews though, Corman isn't providing the best transfers for the titles. Most aren't even widescreen.

They are releasing more than a few Corman films. Back in September, Disney acquired the rights to distribute all of Roger Corman's library. Business Wire had this report:


Buena Vista Home Entertainment Acquires Rights to Extensive Roger Corman Library; BVHE to Distribute Over 400 Genre Titles From Legendary Producer/Director

BURBANK, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 7, 2005--Buena Vista Home Entertainment (BVHE) has acquired an extensive library of films from legendary producer/director Roger Corman, it was announced today by Bob Chapek, President of BVHE. BVHE now has video distribution rights in the U.S. and on select films in Canada to over 400 cult-classic genre films from Roger Corman's company Concorde-New Horizons.

Roger Corman began his filmmaking career in 1953 as a producer/screenwriter and directed his first film in 1955. Since 1953, Corman has produced over 300 films and directed over 50. Some of his most notable films include the 1960 original cult-classic "The Little Shop of Horrors," which was later made into a musical, along with iconic films such as "Big Bad Mama," "The Intruder," "Death Race 2000," "Grand Theft Auto" and "Cry Baby Killer." Often referred to as one of the greatest American independent filmmakers of all time, Corman is best known for his unconventional, vanguard approach to classic genres of horror and science fiction and for giving first opportunities to many now famous actors and directors, both of which left lasting effects on Hollywood filmmaking today.

"We're pleased to have BVHE representing New Horizons' historic library of films, as well as our upcoming pictures," said Corman. "I have great faith in Bob Chapek and his team and look forward to our product thriving under their excellent marketing, sales and distribution arms."

"We are thrilled to have video distribution rights to Roger Corman's film library," said Chapek. "Corman's avant-garde films have undoubtedly influenced Hollywood filmmaking and cultivated generations of classic genre film fans, so we're elated to bring this legendary film library to existing fans and new audiences alike
."

and the IMDB.com had this one:


Corman Films To Be Distributed on DVD by Disney


B-movie king Roger Corman has signed a distribution deal with Disney that will bring his library of more than 400 films to DVD at the mass-market level. He had previously been selling them to retailers on his own. Some of the films included in the collection include the low-budget classics The Little Shop of Horrors, Rock and Roll High School, Death Race 2000, The Intruder, Grand Theft Auto, and Cry Baby Killer. In a statement, Bob Chapek, head of Disney's Buena Vista Home Entertainment, said, "Corman's avant-garde films have undoubtedly influenced Hollywood filmmaking and cultivated generations of classic genre film fans, so we're elated to bring this legendary film library to existing fans and new audiences alike."

Yes, Disney has the rights to distribute the films, but they don't own the catalogue, as was said earlier. Corman still owns the films.

Unless you're dying to have the movie I wouldn't pony up much cash to buy the version that is out there. 10 bucks or less I'd go for it but any more than that I would hold off until something better comes along.
