Wow....9 movies. I'll start applying for that mortgage extension now.

Seriously though, it's great to see these classic 3D movies from the 50's getting a release.

More like 8 movies. But both the spanish and english version of Dracula. For those who don't know they used to film these on the same set, usually at different times of the day. Usually different cast and directors. Essentially they couldn't do voice over in the early days of sound and so had to capture the sound live.

From the description, sounds like the Creature disk will be on an IMAX-style Hybrid disk, since they want to sell to the Monsters fans first, and 3D fans....later.
(Maybe a single spinoff if Dial M does well.)

Well, that's one way of doing it.
I can see more hybrid releases getting the vintage titles out there, rather than banish the obscure 2D's to studio archive (like Sony did with Mad Magician).

Best movie news this year to me.

[Dubstar]

who wants to bet, that Universal will DNR it to death.

My Field Sequential 3D disc of this already looks amazing - can't wait to retire it! Hope they bring on Revenge of the Creature next!

Why dream small?
Let's hope Universal decides to break up the Monsters set into "Legacy Collections", gives us individual Frankenstein, Dracula, Invisible Man and Creature sets, and decides to include 3D Revenge also without telling us...

Excellent 3D in this one! Plentiful pop-outs, great use of depths and excellent framing & placement of cameras to provide best possible 3D layering. The movie itself is quiet good and watchable!

Creature from the Black Lagoon just got a new release. Has anyone checked it out to see if it is an improvement over the first 3D release which had some issues with some shots. Or is it the exact same transfer as the first?

That has got to be the same disc.

Probably in preparation for an announcement regarding the sequel?

Or Halloween.

Best Buy has the new 3D steelbook version of this. It came out a couple weeks ago. No idea if it's the same disc from before.

I didn't see anything about 3D in the description, but I would bet (figuratively) it's the same disc in a new fancy package.

It's definitely 3D. Says it on the back. I'll post a link to another users unboxing video on here but it's the UK version.

Based on the info from the back of the packaging, it looks identical to the earlier releases, just a new case and disc art. The Wolfman, also.

Snapped a few pics while I was at Best Buy this morning.

At least it looks cool!

Sadly a lot of the biggest issues with the 3D in CftBL can't really be fixed without going back to one eye and doing a 2D-3D conversion. A huge portion of the movie suffers from the fact that the shutters on the two lenses were not quite synchronized, so during motion (especially fast motion) the positions of objects onscreen don't match between the eyes. It's an issue present to varying degrees throughout the movie. Some people barely seem to notice but for me it's extremely distracting and sometimes uncomfortable.

Old post but I wasn't aware this was an issue with the first film. I know it's an issue with Revenge of the Creature because I noticed the shutter syncronization issues throughout. But I don't remember the first film having this issue. It's been a while since I saw it and I only saw it once so far. Am just not remembering?
