Like that Steelbook.

Preordered. Love this film!

Is there anything special about this steelbook (extra swag) or is it just the same one that's available through all retailers in the US? The link doesn't work for me for some reason.

Sky_Captain · 08-21-2022, 01:29 PM

Most likely the same, just exclusive to Zavvi over here ala Men in Black.

Hopefully we also get Fright Night, unless Eureka still have the rights to it here.

Anyone had any movement on this? Had some confusing emails that seem to say it was delayed but the image had the Scream 2 steel book rather than this....#confused

ghost.ottercrab · 10-10-2022, 12:52 PM

I got an 'In Stock and Shipping Tomorrow' email from Zavvi yesterday for this and Argo 4K Steelbook, so don't think it's been delayed.

I got the same. Then once Monday rolled around I got a shipping notice. It was supposed to be delivered today, but for some reason Royal Mail told me the address from Zavvi international wasn't receiving deliveries today. How nice of them to decide that. I'm assuming it's because of the Strike, but still a slightly strange message. Fingers crossed it gets redelivered tomorrow.

Anyone know if the print quality on this one is better than the US? The US one has some nice spot varnish to make the character eyes pop, but the rest of the image is kinda muddy as a result.

garyd97 · 10-14-2022, 02:33 PM

Any chance of inside art on this version?

The Zavvi steelbook has shiny varnishing for the black of the archway and everything inside it and the red of Dracula (which is sort of metallic). The eyes do ‘pop’ as I think they’re silver. Sadly the surround decorations are more grey than silver, which would’ve given a far more dramatic effect. There is no spot varnishing as such (ie, it’s entirely flat).

Mine has a few minor surface scratches on the glossy bit that look more like a manufacturing flaw than damage after the fact. That aside, it does look rather nice.

Nope. The Zavvi one is matte/spot-gloss. I prefer the US one...

I thought it was reported that the U.S. steelbook is matte/spot gloss as well.

Let's put it this way. None of them are full gloss.

Yeah that’s what I had heard also, apologies if not the case. Watched last night, glad to have the original subtitles and the inclusion of the music video.
Always liked poster art for this, one of the last good ones before floating heads took over from beautiful one sheets.
Mine also has the hairline scratches on the glossy parts.
