Night of the Living Dead (1990) - Out of Print

[Morsoth]

If we are lucky, we'll get the Theatrical Trailer (1:06) and the Documentary "The Dead Walk: Remaking a Classic" Featurette (Includes Deleted Scenes) (24:53) from the DVD Edition, but i don't think we'll get the Audio Commentary by Tom Savini... Well, we never know.

On TT Facebook page it says isolated score, trailer, and commentary with Tom Savini.

First of all guys, let's have a rational discussion without name calling and bragging about how many copies you're going to buy.

Now...

This one might sell out even quicker than FN for 2 reasons that immediately come to mind:

1) More people are aware of Twilight Time and the way they do business. Fright Night demonstrated the way horror fans are collectors and will buy the movies they love without much hesitation.
2) The reasons I explained above are also why more scalpers will snatch up multiple copies.

Well that is good, not much but it seems that most have hardly anything so this is better than nothing, it won't change my mind about wanting it lol, I still want it.

Because of this discussion I just had to find my DVD and see if I still had it, thank God I do, and it was the first issue that included the 4:3 version, so getting a disc case and plopping this in with the BD might be a real good idea.

I totally agree. I think that people who love the movie should buy a copy for themselves and maybe one or two for gifts TOPS! This whole buying tons of copies to sell later to fans who missed the opportunity seems rather mean to the fans. Some people take awhile to hear about things and end up having to spend 100+ dollars because those copies were picked up by people who are just being greedy. This is just my opinion of course. I understand the appeal of making some easy cash but it just seems rather insensitive to those who really care about the film. Maybe I'm wrong, I don't know, it just strikes a nerve with me.

Bet having a huge group of those whom want a limit of __ per customer, maybe sending out an email to Twilight Time/SAE....me thinks?

Call it a "SAVE US ONE" type of POLL.

BWWAAAHHAHAHAHA!!!!

They are in the business of making money. They are still making $30 a copy regardless if 1 person buys one copy or 1 person buys 100 copies. I really don't think they want copies just sitting around for long periods of time.

So I don't think theyll ever limit the amount of copies someone can buy

I agree... though it does conflict with their supposed reason for doing this... supposedly to release movies for fans that otherwise might not be released... and the limited nature is theoretically supposed to ensure some value later... but if they encourage speculators to buy, then they will get more sellouts so Twilight Time will do better as a company... though fans will start to sour to them when they see more $100 copies within weeks of a release because speculators scooped them all up.

When that tide turns, and the speculators run away... then the movie fans won't come back either because they'll wait for that $30 price to drop once they know the sellouts are less likely.

So... Twilight Time has a delicate balance to negotiate between wanting sellouts BUT wanting those sellouts because they have 3000 fans, and not 1000 each buying 3 copies.

I'm not trying to state the obvious... It's just that they are a small upstart company and they are trying to sell out these titles anyway they can. Can't blame them for doing that

I mean, some of their titles are likely NOT to sell out (like rapture), so when a title like fright night or Night of the living sells out, it helps mediate some of the loses from the less popular titles.

I learned my lesson the hard way. I won't be ordering until I get the "less than 500" email from SA. If they offer an exclusive version signed by Savini, with a minimum order amount like they did with Fright Night, I would not be surprised. I didn't order "late" enough with Fright Night, so even though I ordered enough to qualify I was told I couldn't get a free copy because I had pre-ordered.

No they might try another first come first served deal with the signed copy. Hopefully their servers don't crash again.

Agreed they still need to make a profit, I just can't stand the few that buy them up to sell at a higher price...buying up is great for business, selling them at an inflated price to others that may or may not be able to afford it is wrong...especially when they finally go OOP. To each is own...I guess, can't preach to a brick wall...does no good...just hope the servers can handle the onslaught of those on that day it goes up for pre order. That and me being able to obtain one...just one...that's all I need.

Hoping for a top tier transfer for this release. Has anyone found any information about the HD master that is going to be used?

How was the fright night transfer?

In my opinion it is very good/solid, but not outstanding.

That is not going to happen. The TT model is setup that they will eat what they do not sell. If they lower the price of their movies later all that will encourage is for people to wait for the price drop... Essentially, they would cause the demise of their own business model...

People have complained, but as it is my favorite movie, I thought it was fantastic. The best it's ever looked for sure. The only disappointment was no extras really besides their isolated score and such.

Very good, but you can't compare it to new movies like IRON MAN or TRANSFORMERS 3 etc

That's actually what I would predict IF the speculators begin to drive their sales figures.

Speculators are NEVER good for long-term success of a business. Sure, short-term it boosts your sales... but what you need are long-term regular customers who will buy all your products. The speculator is only here while he can make a buck, and the first time he can't... he dumps and runs... then you have a whirling dervish of backlash coming at you before you can blink.

Twilight Time will succeed as a business IF they can attract more movie fans willing to pay them the $30 for each movie they release as they come out... Twilight Time will fail if speculators start buying up multiple copies of new releases, thus depriving fans of getting those movies except at a premium.

Think when Best Buy has a deal and limits your purchases to 1 of each... they do that because they want to draw customers who will buy other things from them... IF someone comes in and buys up all the deals, then yeah Best Buy is loving the money BUT 50 other customers went home disappointed... and those 50 might not come back.

Now think Twilight Time... a bunch of people missed Fright Night... were bummed... some paid a premium to get it in the after-market... Now we have talk of people saying "I'm going to buy extras of this one so I can flip them"... so if this movie sells out and Twilight Time is turning customers away because they sold out... it's bad for their long-term prospects.

IF I want a copy, and I get a copy... then if I'm happy, I'll come back for the next release... IF I want a copy, and I can't get one because the guy before me ordered 10... I file that away... IF I try for the next movie and it happens again, I'm not going back to try for another movie.

Then when the speculators bail because they suddenly can't flip those $30 investments for $100... and they start selling for less than cost, because they want to wash their hands of the whole thing... we then spiral with people who paid $30+ now mad, others picking up movies cheap and expecting the next ones to also be cheap... so the next batch of releases don't sell-out and other people begin holding back waiting to see if it happens again.

And most importantly... Twilight Time doesn't make any of that extra money when the speculator does... and Twilight's model is far more stable with 3000 unique customers than it is 1000 customers who buy extras... because when those customers stop buying the extras, then the gravy train is over.

I'm saying this because I don't wish them ill will... I'm hoping people will realize this and not let history repeat itself.
