John Carpenter's Vampires
I really like this movie and cannot believe it's not on BR. Any reason for this? Can't even stream it on HD on Netflix.

I've had the French import on Blu-ray for years now. It even has the JC commentary on there and it's region free.

Hey, neat-o idea, guys! Let's have a thread where we can lament certain titles that haven't be- oh, right. We have that.
Also, extra dick points for making me think this was an announcement.

Re: John Carpenter's Vampires
Looks like this is getting another release. I didn't pick up the Twilight Time edition, so I'm down for this one.

Re: John Carpenter's Vampires
Talk about being a Limited Release!
I feel bad for all of you that paid 30 bucks for this. It just came out last Fall too!

Glad I didn't pay for the Twilight Time release. I enjoy the film but it wasn't worth $30 for a barebones disc. I'll definitely get this new version.

UPDATE: It's an Amazon screw-up. It's actually for a re-release (new price point) of the 20th Century Fox movie VAMPIRES SUCK on May 3rd.

Amazon has the correct studio, but the wrong year/actor info.

Re: John Carpenter's Vampires
Or it could be a re-release like Christine (another Sony title), and Amazon just got the studio wrong. Either way I put a preorder in just in case. I can always cancel later if needed.

Re: John Carpenter's Vampires
I'm a JC fan and already got my money's worth. NOW, for future reference, shit like this - I will no longer be going to TT for supposed limited items. Seems like they eventually make their way on the format either on the same label (Sony eventually releases it) or through Arrow Films, etc.

Ah. Well either way for what it was it was an overpriced release in my opinion. I just don't really care to support Twilight Time in general. I do hope that the release turns out to be something and not an Amazon screw up.

Re: John Carpenter's Vampires
When Twilight Time licenses a movie, they get exclusive American distribution rights to it for 3 years. Vampires was just released this past October, which means that Sony can't reissue it under their own label until October 2018.

Re: John Carpenter's Vampires
Then how come Christine was released by Sony within 2 years after TT released theirs? I actually don't know what agreements are in place, except that 3 year license.

Re: John Carpenter's Vampires
I don't know the specifics of their contracts, but I do know that Twilight Time has some exclusivity period. Given that Vampires was just released less than 6 months ago, it seems pretty unlikely that Sony would already be reissuing it under their own label now.
