Eh, I won't go the route of hunting down the anamorphic transfer. I'll leave it at, 'it's incredibly disappointing a film that smashed the box office as a new-age horror film didn't get a proper anamorphic release'.

I paid about $50 when it first came out. I tried to buy it at Wal-Mart and they wouldn't let me because I was 16 at the time, and I had to be 17 to buy it, so I walked across the street to Best Buy and bought it.

There is a fully uncut and anamorphic version of "Scream" in Germany. Even in UK they didn't released it uncut.

I'd really like to see an R1 Uncut Anamorphic Scream soon.

Thats exactly what I have! You got a great deal for it though because I had to pay 30 bucks for mine but that of course was when it first came out..lol

I got the 4D boxed set for less than free. $29.99 at Borders + 30% off coupon + $25 gift card a couple of years ago. It was OOP at the time, but Borders still had a couple in stock.

Which was only an okay deal, since it was a double-dip for me as I already owned the Scream CE.

That was actually the second or third DVD I bought before I even had a player. Back in 1998, that thing had a MSRP of $39.99, and it was released shortly after the barebones Scream DVD was released (which had a $29.99 MSRP) which accounts for its lack of enhanced widescreen.

Wayyyy back then, K-Mart ran a misprinted ad that had a picture of the Scream CE in with a bunch of $14.99 VHS tapes. I took it to Circuit City and had them price-match it. This was back in the days of DIVX, so I figured I'd do my small part to screw them over.

Jesus, I can't believe it's been ten years. I was barely out of college, hadn't even met my girlfriend (eight years+).

Come on, dude. Of any studio, Disney double-dips catalog titles the least. From Dusk Till Dawn, Grosse Point Blank, Scream, Armageddon, and many, many, many others are all lacking in basic anamorphic enhancement.
