Lucio Fulci's THE BLACK CAT (1981) ?
 

This new release from Blue Undergound seems to be identical to the Anchor Bay release. Am I missing something?

This is probably my longest unwatched movie in my collection. I bought it the summer of 2001 and haven't seen it yet. :lol:

Looks like Blue Underground re-releases Anchor Bay's titles, not changing anything practically. Their editions seem to be identical, you can check for instance Maniac, Inferno or The House By the Cemetery which were released first by AB and later by BU.

As I understand it, Bill Lustig bought the rights to these movies and leased them to Anchor Bay while he was working there. The rights reverted back to him after x number of years, so he is re-releasing them under his own BU label. The Anchor Bay -branded ones are OOP, so it's just a labeling change.
Someone recently posted a link to an interview with him that said there wasn't enough of a market to justify the expense of redoing most of them and also that he probably wouldn't do any more new stuff after 2007.

This makes everything clear then, because first we forgot we bought it before (actually it came as part of a six-pack) and didn't realize it until we began watching this new release. I double dipped for no reason...again. :horsepoo:
