Black Christmas (2006) was suppose to hit bluray this week what happend

So i was checking to see if my remaining 2blurays that i had on order this week had gone into shipping soon yet. (after my surprise early delivery of psycho and moulin rouge yesterday) And I now noticed that Black christmas which i pre orderd from Amazon on July 26th 2010 for 13.99 shows on its main page that its no longer listed with a release date but instead says currently not availble. It still shows as scheduled for delivery on October 19th on my orders page though.

Did this release get canceled or pushed back? whats the deal does anyone know.

the producers realized the movie sucked to much to see the light of day ever again.

or change it over to one atleast send out a email stating it has been delayed.

If it helps at all, the original Black Christmas is on Blu-Ray. Granted, the PQ isn't the greatest, but the film is highly recommended...

This doesn't show up on the Best Buy website, are you sure it's a BB exclusive?

Yeah, I noticed that as well. Maybe it's going to be available in-store only, not online? Regardless, I want it. Not just because Lacey Chabert is in it, but because I enjoyed it for what it was. It was fun. And it is beautifully shot. The colors, particularly the reds and greens, pop off the screen.

I've got the DVD, the HD DVD, and the Canadian Blu-ray Disc, but the BD is unfortunately interlaced (though thankfully in the correct 2.35:1 ratio) so having it in 1080p on BD (in addition to HD DVD) would be nice.

Wasn't Wolf Creek also suppose to come out a couple weeks ago as well?

The recent Thirteen Ghosts/House of Wax double feature didn't appear on the Best Buy website either, but is available in stores. I wouldn't worry too much about Black Christmas not being on the website.

Sorry to derail the thread here, but the PQ is great. It's a pretty damn accurate representation of what the movie looked like in its original theatrical run.

Still no notification or anything from amazon about this being delayed, well aslong as i dont lose out on my 13.99 pre order price whenever it is finally released, I guess waiting a bit longer is ok.

Jeez that sucks. You ordered WITH prime?? I ordered the Psycho Legacy on Friday (I think) and it shipped out yesterday and should be here today. I also have Prime. I'll keep this in mind not to pre-order months in advance. Sorry to hear that.

I think the Black Christmas (2006) BD has been delayed or canceled. I checked the local Best Buy early this morning and nothing. They weren't even aware of it being released. This title sure is having a hard time getting a BD release in the US. What gives?

I ordered both psycho and moulin rouge on the first days they became availble for pre order respectively, this was the first time i have had titles from amazon arrive to me several days before release date. and was very happy(would love to see the same happen this week with bttf and alien but of course i know it wont ) I to am also a Prime member.

Did this blu-ray ever officially come out? I was checking Amazon last week for it, and the only copy was being sold used for over $1,000. That appears to be gone now, but still, wtf? It's on DVD, it can be rented on Amazon and other websites, but the blu-ray isn't for sale anywhere online.

It came out in Canada, at least.
http://www.amazon.ca/Black-Christmas...6262010&sr=8-2

It's not currently available. I ordered a copy in early October.

IIRC, the canadian version is screwed up a bit. It's an Alliance release which may or may not have any special features and/or correct aspect ratio.

I think the only "good" HD release is on HD DVD, which is about $5.
