All are nice with only cover A not having "das grauen" on it.

I'm surprised Cover D hasn't sold out already as it's limited to only 250 copies. Maybe the fact that The Changeling already has 4K UHD releases from Second Sight and Severin?

Cover C is the original theatrical poster art. (Cover A is as well, with an alternate blue hue/tint.)

Cover D is hilarious. That look on her face! Probably why it hasn't sold out yet.

And George looks more skeptical than scared.

Almost as if she just cut one and is hoping George didn't hear it or doesn't smell it.

I love the look of the house/mansion in the film (part of the reason I got Cover B) and I remember how disappointed I was to learn that it was just a false front/facade in front of an existing home (in South Vancouver) and that all of the interiors were shot on sound stages at the since demolished Panorama Film Studios in West Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

I've had this for quite a while on 4k bluray. No idea what the cover is. Nor do I care
Great film. One of the best ghost stories ever made

This rings true. Especially in terms of what has made it to the uhd platform. Outstanding on all levels, and the Second Sight 4k release is definitive, at least in terms of what was possible given their use of the existing 4k scan taken from the easiest remaining elements to work with. I'd still love to see someone try to go back and effect a restoration derived partially from any and all still-useable portions of the apparently very damaged ocn.
