I would love to grab it but unfortunatley I don't have a multi-region player. I just wish Arrow would have continue releasing their titles region free. They are awesome.

Although I appreciate the Collector's Editions, I look forward to the releases like The Beast Within, The Horror Show, and Witchboard just as much as Night of the Demons, Body Bags, and Cat People. But I do like that Scream Factory goes the extra mile with certain releases that they know fans really want (The Fog, The Howling, Prince of Darkness, etc.). I will be getting Ginger Snaps regardless of whether it's a Collector's Edition or not. However, I can see the argument for which releases deserve Collector's Editions. I would have been a bit more hesitant to pick up releases like Eve of Destruction, Ninja III, or Dark Angel if they weren't the low priced regular editions.

Regarding the Arrow release of The Car, I have to disagree with you on one point. While the release is generally good and nice to have on BD, what keeps the release from being "excellent" IMHO is the painful commentary track. It's just really not good, with equal blame lying with the moderator and the director. I would have much preferred some historian or critic giving a "making-of" type commentary. The one that's included is really impossible to sit all the way through, even though the parts I listened to did contain a few nuggets scattered throughout. Again, just my 2 cents.

I just look forward to the films Im interested in just coming in HD , slips or not, Collectors Editions or not..
Even the non CE's have extras too. Every release that Ive gotten ive been really pleased with and I have noticed a lot of improvements from some of the films previous DVD releases.

Same here in regards to films I like finally coming to HD.

I never cared for slip covers, they're more annoying than cool as far as I'm concerned. As for extras, I rarely watch them because like porn, once you've see a small handfull...you've kind of seen them all. I don't need to waste time watching how they did the effects/CGI for a film when I already know the process from watching a few extras in the past.

Not trying to give anyone shit who likes extras, I get the appeal. I'm just one of the few that wouldn't mind getting the movie with no extras so long as it wasn't overpriced.

Dex, it's probably because the audience was frozen in their seats, until the spring thaw

The Horror Show 1.5/5? Please. It's fantastically entertaining and tremendous fun. It's obviously tongue-in-cheek. It's clearly not meant to be taken seriously, evident in the general absurd tone and the overracting of the two leads.

And it's 10 times the film the risible Shocker is.

I disagree. I watched The Horror Show for the first time last week. I have seen and really enjoy Shocker, so I was expecting the same kind of goofy comedy-horror along those lines. I thought it was a terrible movie. It is just no fun to watch. It was a chore to sit through for me. Shocker is far superior, imo, and I agree with this site's review. Oh well, can't like em all.

I agree, it's a very entertaining movie.

Holy ****ing shit. I just came. The first time I will ever re-buy something.
And you know what this means? Another Fox deal. Let the guesses commence.

I hope they use the other poster. The one that's on the soundtrack. Just personal preference. That and the fact that it's a combo release.

This was foreshadowed... Gerrit Graham in TerrorVision, Jessica Harper in The Evictors, and the late, great William Finley in The Funhouse (I still have no idea why, as he did nothing).

Wow! Totally unexpected! Another DePalma film on BD, from SF no less...fantastic news!!
