This is one of my favorite horror movies for kids. I have the original DVD in that weird gen 1 slim case.

You mean Stephen Dorff didn't wear Tevas in the film?

I just remember one scene -- the family has a creepy old guy living with them who knows all about the supernatural. At one point, after the man makes a particularly ominous pronouncement, the father looks at the mother and says, "He's your uncle." The mother looks at him shocked -- "I thought he was your uncle?"

I doubt that LGF will crew this one up. Never could really get into this movie even though I love cheesy 80's horror movies.

Wow, nice collection of special features, a widescreen transfer, for probably less than $10 on release day? Definitely a pick-up.

LOL @ super phatty.

It'd've I sort of understand, but I've never seen anyone do that before. It + would + have = it'd've.

I kinda like it too and that cover is probably a smart way to market it. Helps the casual fan remember "Oh yeah, this one has those stop-motion guys."

And I agree with Willo007, along with Hardware, it looks like I might actually end up buying some DVDs this year.

Regardless of it being in widescreen, regardless of how good the picture may look, and regardless of what additional features it may have, I will absolutely not be buying this edition, solely based on the crappy, nearly non-representative cover art. What in name of all that's holy were they thinking of when they decided on this? Whose idea was it to put a random, faceless kid on the front, not wearing anything even remotely resembling what Stephen was wearing in the movie? What were they thinking when they put the monsters right on the cover?!? If anyone hasn't seen this movie before, they've got a major spoiler right there in plain view! There's no surprise now!!!

They totally dropped the ball on this one. No sale.

Yeah, pretty much.

It's a 22 year old movie. There's a certain point where people shouldn't complain about spoilers like someone saying Darth Vader is Luke's father or the Titanic sinks at the end of the movie.

If you haven't seen the movie in the first place, you won't know the movie's spoiled by the cover.
