Twilight Time Discussion Thread

[hammer99]

Decent line-up...

Definitely getting:
EMPEROR OF THE NORTH
10 TO MIDNIGHT

Probably getting with a free promo deal (I think they'll all last until then):
JOHN CARPENTER’S VAMPIRES
COUNT YORGA, VAMPIRE
SCREAM AND SCREAM AGAIN

Maybe for $20 next year if they have another sale:
FAT CITY

Most excited for NORTH.

Jeez, I made the mistake of watching the trailer to 10 to Midnight, which gives away the whole plot of the movie!?? In for Fat City and Devil in a Blue Dress and maybe At Close Range.

thought TWILIGHT TIME had the blu-ray rights to THEATRE OF BLOOD ?

IF so why not release it with that other VINCENT PRICE title ?

Maybe they are saving it for later on. Since Arrow released Theater of Blood and Hound of the Baskervilles Im guessing TT is putting them off for the time being. That could be way off, but at least it sounds logical

The plot is pretty predictable anyway, still a very fun (and kinky) movie, terrible acting in a campy way by a lot of the cast, but of course Bronson is amazing as always

Yeah the guy that plays the killer is perfectly cast IMO he is so creepy and slimey, he fits the role so well. It's hilarious when when Bronson is searching the guys apartment and finds his fleshlight in the bathroom. I'm so pleased that this ones coming to Blu-ray it really is a fun, suspenseful movie.

YAY!!! John Carpenter's Vampires is MINE!!!

I just watched it. Something about a naked man wearing latex gloves running around chasing women that I cant take seriously.. probably grand entertainment for some

All would be right up their alley, and even just one of these would be great.

All great titles. I tried to contact TT about the last dragon. It seems like a cult title that Sony prob doesn't want to release on their own.

I would add Just one of the guys as well...

Hound of the Baskervilles is another title TT has previously mentioned that they will be releasing at some point.

If Carpenter's Vampires will be based on the same Studio Canal transfer used for the French and German BD releases (and there really is no reason to expect otherwise as Twilight Time doesn't do their own transfers) it will be missing 4 seconds of footage of Cardinal Alba giving Valek the goblet with Jack Crow's blood to drink.

I may get that, fairly likely even, it is quite an interesting film. But top of my list for the new announcements is Black Widow. Quite a pleasant surprise to see this finally reach blu-ray.

[Blu MacReady]

Have to get 10 to midnight, Vampires and Black Widow.

When do these gems come up for order?

No hard dates announced yet, but going by the general pattern, 10 to Midnight will probably be up for pre-order on 8/26, and the other two probably on 9/23.

Isn't TT getting this from Sony, rather than Studio Canal, in which case it wouldn't be the same as the past releases.

Agreed. It's one of my guilty pleasures. Theresa Russell is mind-boggling, and Debra Winger's low-key performance is a perfect contrast to Russell's flamboyant tour-de-force.

Finally Fat City on bluray. I've always wanted to see it, but never had any available copies around where I live. Big John Huston fan, so super excited.

I'm genuinely surprised at the Yorga love here and on the TT Facebook group. I caught it a few years back and thought it was borderline unwatchable; not scary, not interesting, not atmospheric, and boring as tar. Didn't do a damn thing for me, so hey, more copies for you guys.

Yeah I didn't like it either. It was originally supposed to be a cheapie soft core sex flick so if you can imagine what those types of films are like without the sex, well that's what this is like.

(Which adds nothing to the discussion but I haven't posted in this thread for awhile and wanted to voice my approval ).

Opposite for me, not much to choose from which is good because I'm trying to cut back on spending.

Cushing appears in one scene IIRC, Lee has a bit more screen time but it's mostly a Price show. The film is based on a book called The Disoriented Man and you'll be disoriented at first trying to figure out what some of the non-sequitur scenes mean but in the end it all makes sense. Michael Gothard of For Your Eyes Only fame has a key role in the film. I'd recommend it to anyone who likes the Dr. Phibes films.

This is the one must buy of the bunch.

[schan1269]

I'm only in for Yorga if it turns out to be a restored R.

If PG13...nope.

All prior DVD are PG13.
