Never saw Fright Night but i've read a lot of positive reviews about it and decided to blind buy the Eureka release from Blowitoutahere on Ebay.

You've made a good choice! The Eureka Fright Night release looks absolutely gorgeous. It looks better than the Twilight Time blu-ray....Just curious, how much did you pay for it on ebay because I've paid $20.00 for it from Amazon UK.

$19.98 with free shipping. $21.18 after taxes.

I just watched my copy of the region free Eureka release and was initially upset because I had to triple dip on Fright Night due to the annoying macroblocking issue on TT's 30th anniversary release but after watching the absolutely glorious Eureka release I'm thrilled that I bought it. Not only does it take care of the macroblocking and tones down the brightness but it's also the most superior presentation of Fright Night yet. It brings out the best of the 4K remaster with a better encode and better grain structure which is a pretty drastic difference from both TT releases to my eyes. It's a stunning presentation and I'm beyond relieved that I bought it. Kudos to Eureka!

Yep, a big improvement, and I was paid $50 or so to get it.

Yeah, this is what I ended up getting, too, if only because I was in no hurry to get the TT editions. Still can't quite believe this movie is so popular.

I'm also not much of a commentary guy. I'm thinking I'll sell it off.

The absence of Julie Kirgo from the commentaries on this disk gives it an instant thumbs up from me.

I'd be interested in double dipping. But I have the first TT release, and this Eureka packaging is ass ugly, imo. If there were some way to still get the steelbook I'd be more inclined since the ratings logo on the front is gone and the giant EUREKA! logo on the spine isn't as noticeable.

You're missing out on a much better version of the disc and making some serious money selling the Twilight Time because of some spine logos? Seems cray cray as my wife would say, but you gotta follow your heart I suppose.

For real. I couldn't care less about the packaging, just give me good audio and video presentation. But that's just me.

Eureka's release of Fright Night is down to about $14 USD shipped. It's region free, and arguably the best release to date.

^ Thanks for that. I thought I had already picked that up, but I guess not. After all of the comings and goings with that film, it's good to finally get a nice copy of it at a nice price.

dwk · 03-11-2018, 05:20 PM

Thanks for the heads up. I ordered one, even though I'm broke.

Zodiac-Mindwarp · 03-11-2018, 05:53 PM

Will this Blu play on a NTSC TV and Region 1 player?

Wow that was fast.

Looks like I will have to order one after all.

Thanks PrestonXI

Tom Holland is also selling autographed copies for $39.95 if that floats your boat.

Which version of this movie is the best to watch? If I end up getting this in the future should I go with Eureka or Twilight? Going by Caps-A-Holic there's little to no difference other than colors being a little different and I believe the Twilight version is brighter. I know it's hard to compare Blurays just off screenshots alone. We need to have a website that show side by side comparison of what the two look like in motion. I don't see a dramatic difference tho by the screenshots alone. Are both versions 4k scans or is only the Eureka a 4k scan? I do prefer to go with higher def scans even if it's not noticeable on screenshots alone. As I said I think you can tell by motion which is better.

I can not stress this enough. Eureka release without a doubt. I've owned the Twilight release and sold it for the Eureka disc... Picture, special features... Eureka is superior.
