Didn't realize we didn't have a dedicated thread for this until I looked at my sig and noticed I had no link, but then I found this. Hoping the doc has a decent run time.

With the talent being interviewed, I'm sure this doc will run anywhere from 35-40 minutes, similar to the docs on "Halloween II" and "III". I've been looking forward to seeing this film for years, glad I waited for this release.

Updated original post with reverse art. Is there a reason this thread doesn't come up when you click on the 'Forum' listing for the film's Blu-ray.com entry? All that appears are Prison Break threads.

I added this thread to the official listing. It should show up under the profile shortly

This sounds bad ass but 29.99 is a bit too much, ive never spend 30 bucks on a blu before, definetly if it was Viggo signing in a heartbeat but for the writers i'll pass.

How much would this be in store/online on release day?

[Movie-Brat]

I thought this was supposed to be released in January or did I read that wrong?

[LordCrumb]

It's always been Feb 19th as far as I remember.

[Movie-Brat]

Maybe I misread the print or the date changed. I thought it was the 29th of January.

An additional $11 is a bit much for USPS within the US ... that's the same freight costs they're charging for international shipments.

EDIT: Looks to be a flat fee regardless of number of items ordered.

Which is why I'm hoping they'll put up at least one more autographed BD pre-order before the Prison event - last time I ordered Halloween 4 and 5 and Night/House of Dark Shadows together to save on shipping.

From the DVD Drive-in review:

The HD master represented in this combo package comes from a virtually unblemished source (I noticed only one instance of damage in the form of a single white mark roughly seventy-five minutes into the film). The Ultra Stereo is available as both a faithful 2.0 mix and a 5.1 upmix (both in DTS-MA on Blu-ray and Dolby Digital on DVD). The upmix (not a remix) is perfectly enveloping, but the Ultra Stereo matrixed surround original was fine to begin with. Optional English subtitles are also included, but they only occasionally feature SDH notations.
