Your so cool Brewster!

Fvck yes this is a must own. I wish we can also get FRIGHT NIGHT: PART 2 on bd with a widescreen transfer and special features so it can put my OOP dvd to shame.

Lets hope we get some speacial features on this disc.

Blurred · 08-31-2011, 10:20 PM

SWEEEET!!!

This is such a campy feelgood horror movie.

Pls have the original poster art on the cover PLS!!!!!

What i also want is the original "Waxwork" movie and the sequel aswell. And bring on "Return Of The Living Dead Part 2" and i´ll be a happy camper.

Carlos2992 · 08-31-2011, 10:27 PM

yessssssssssss !!!!!!!!!!! Wich studio will release it ?

vidjunkie · 08-31-2011, 10:54 PM

The HD broadcast of Fright Night 2 is widescreen and looks damn good.

rammsteinfan · 08-31-2011, 10:55 PM

I never saw the original as far as I can remember but did see the new one and liked it. Hear the original is better so I will make this a blind buy most likely.

Sony's giving the reins to Twilight Time so expect a quality release but a less than appealing price. Sometimes you gotta pay more to get more. I personally think this movie's worth it especially when there's a nice booklet and only 3000 copies.

visualsynth · 08-31-2011, 11:06 PM

Great news!! I met William Ragsdale at a horror convention two weeks ago and i had asked him if he had known anything about a Blu-ray release and he said no but that he recently viewed a new print of the movie and he said it looked Gorgeous!

benricci · 08-31-2011, 11:07 PM

The "3000 copies" bit has me a bit nervous. Seems a little low for a title like this, no?

I just don't want to miss out because I didn't pre-order the second it went up for sale on the distributor's site.

They have yet to sell out of a single one of their titles at Twilight Time. All the DVDs and the (currently, single) blu-ray are all limited to 3000, all have been available for months still.

That being said, I wouldn't snooze on any of these. If you want it, make sure to preorder.

This is confusing, so the Blu-ray movie is going to be released by screenarchives? or the soundtrack?

DetroitSportsFan · 08-31-2011, 11:22 PM

I updated the OP with more info. I just skimmed the article, and missed the part about the edition size and the exclusive website to order from.

With all of the horror fans out there, and people interested in this as a blind buy, I can see 3000 copies going pretty quick. But the $40 price tag will put off some people.

Gardenofstone10 · 08-31-2011, 11:22 PM

The original is a horror gem and from what I hear, the remake did it justice. However, originals are always better and I can't wait to pick this one up

Yes, it's the Blu-Ray, which will include the soundtrack. That's the way I read it anyway.
