Re: The Official Twilight Time Blu-ray Thread
UPDATE on vampires from their FB page:
Our sixth title, JOHN CARPENTER'S VAMPIRES, which was also scheduled to go up for pre-order on the 30th, will now be offered TWO WEEKS LATER - on Wednesday, October 14th at 4 pm EST. Our friends at Sony / Columbia have gone the extra mile for us making sure the color timing of the new master will more accurately reflect the original theatrical version, and not the alternate look of the international blu-ray releases, and also fixing the odd edit in one scene that is present in those transfers. We apologize for the slight delay, but rest assured the new blu-ray will be much improved as a result. |
Re: The Official Twilight Time Blu-ray Thread
It'll sell out, then Sony will re-release it themselves.

Re: The Official Twilight Time Blu-ray Thread
Interesting. I don't care about this title, but it's good to see that Twilight Time is doing their due diligence and not just blindly putting out whatever the studio gives them. Obviously they don't want another Night of the Living Dead situation on their hands. Hopefully they take the same approach if and when they ever get around to Jackie Chan's Snake in the Eagle's Shadow and Drunken Master.

Re: The Official Twilight Time Blu-ray Thread
Wonder how TT will handle the SCREAM AND SCREAM AGAIN score.
Kino's CRIMSON CULT BD has an interesting special feature on the re-scoring of some AIP titles. When Orion acquired the AIP catalog in the 80s and wanted to release them to video and cable, the music score to several European titles that AIP picked up for US distribution had to be cleared. Orion's legal dept. spent two years trying to track down people and get them cleared. For several titles the person was dead, couldn't be found, or wanted millions of dollars. Orion hired a guy to re-score those titles. They include: Witchfinder General/Conqueror Worm(U.S. title) Curse of The Crimson Altar/Crimson Cult(U.S. title) Planet of Terror/Planet of The Vampires(U.S. title) Madhouse Scream And Scream Again I don't expect the original score to be on the film, but wonder if the isolated score track will be the original. |

Re: The Official Twilight Time Blu-ray Thread
The extra two week wait on Vampires sucks, but sounds like its for the right reasons. I only hope I can log on at that time to get it with no trouble.

The lower volume part is debatable.

They're aiming at a collector's market, basically.

Exactly, and a way to make it collectible is to advertise it as limited to x units. That's how they get away with charging more in the first place. They really don't print up more copies than any other distributor, it just that other distributors will print up more copies as needed (which usually isn't necessary). And actually, Twilight Time will print up more copies as needed as well, as they have shown on 4 or 5 releases already. So taking that into account, it really isn't more "limited" than any other release.

Should we take that chance? They did so with Christine - even Zardoz got an awesome Arrow release, but do you guys think Sony will release it themselves or will Arrow release an Arrow version themselves?

Four or five isn't that many out of the overall slate, though. It seems like the non-horror titles get printed, sit on their site for quite a while, then eventually go out of stock. They're aiming for the collector's market, sure, but who else is going to buy this stuff, even if it were at mass-market prices?

Re: The Official Twilight Time Blu-ray Thread
So if I read everything correctly, COUNT YORGA, VAMPIRE (1970), SCREAM AND SCREAM AGAIN (1970), STRANGE INVADERS (1983), BLACK WIDOW (1987), and DEVIL IN A BLUE DRESS (1995) go on Pre-order TODAY. And then Vampires goes on Preorder in a couple of weeks on the 14th.
If that's the case....I'll wait for Vampires before placing an order cause I'm about 100% sure that Black Widow will not sell out in two weeks. Heck...that sucker will probably not sell out for a while (I'm thinking maybe even sale time...but that might be pushing it). |
Re: The Official Twilight Time Blu-ray Thread
Only two more days for the Vampires preorder, i have nothing to interfere with being home to place a preorder. I only hope its no trouble.
