Are these going to be in stores or can you only order them online? I'd like to have them for Halloween.

It doesn't look like Best Buy will be stocking these titles but Barnes & Noble prob has them at retail 19.99 price.

I Got my order from amazon today and watched House of Dark Shadows for the first time. (Currently on ep 516 of the TV soap series)

The movie has a very distinct tone for sure. I prefer it to the Burton film, I don't want to bash it it has some good scenes but I think Burton's film wanted to keep having fun with the nearly 200 yr time difference. Also Burton lost the spark or the melodramatic for his film version. I blame the screenwriter and Burton for allowing it. Kind of sick of people saying they loved and adored the show so much yet they turn it into a farce. It should have been funny through truth not slapstick.

I will agree House of D.S would have benefitted from more scenes with the so called extended cut maybe someday we will see that release. If you love the original series I say buy these two new BLU releases. We can hope for better editions in the future. :-)

Is the audio out-of-sync on House Of Dark Shadows?

It seems to come and go, and a couple of reviewers have noticed this too. Is this a fault with the transfer, or is it a case of post-syncing? Anyone who has/had the VHS would be great at answering this!

I don't consider the burton movie as a remake, its just burton doing his more comedic dark humoured version of the TV show. I actually enjoyed it and thought it was way more fun then most of the really stupid "serious" horror movies coming out today. I loved the 60's show, my mom introduced me to it and we bought the entire series on DVD and its just GREAT! the burton movie was fun but these 2 movies IMO while they are fun to watch, the TV show was waay better.
