I love Tom Atkins and I'm so used to him being in horror films that I always forget that he was in Lethal Weapon.

I always forget about his Lethal Weapon role as well. That minor role is sort of a departure for Tom Atkins, because he's usually such a suave tough guy.

One of my favorite parts of Halloween III: Season of the Witch...

"Where do you want to sleep, Dr. Challis?"

"That's a dumb question, Miss Grimbridge."


I also like that scene in The Fog when Tom Atkins has just slept with Jamie Lee Curtis, and he asks, "What's your name again?"

i ordered prison from the 6 pack summer of fear sale in june, and it came sans slip. i went to hastings and sold it and bought a slipped cover on store credit. (disclaimer: i do not collect slips, i just want the scream slips. all other slips i don't care for. i am not a slip nut.)

Yeah SF slips are the only ones I really care about. It's just really annoying when I have several titles come in without slips. Gotta find slips for 2 of my favorite titles, Terror Train and Prince of Darkness

the only one i am currently missing is The Funhouse, and Dead Souls if you want to get real technical... but i am not as caring on that because the artwork was not reversible.

- Street date is 9/16. Pre-order links are going up soon.

- There will be a separate DVD and Blu-ray releases. Slipcovers planned on both.

[Show spoiler]- Artwork (as pictured) is reversible. The newly-created illustrated version (from artist "Kung Fu" Bob O'Brien) is one side and the original theatrical poster is on the other.

- No details on extras...but we are planning for them.

This dark comedy received rave reviews from many reputable horror outlets and fans last year and we're thrilled to be giving this fun ride and a shot at even being exposure. Stay tuned for more details in later on in our "Summer of Fear".

so what happened to that idea?

Woo! I was hearing rumours that both of them would be near bare-bones so this is a nice surprise. Can't wait to get Monkey Shines! Such an underrated Romero film.

There are those damn internet rumors again ! Best thing to do is take any internet rumor with a grain of salt and wait until the studio themselves announce .. On these releases they did say extras would be forthcoming on a post awhile back. Internet rumors cause a lot of worthless commotion and worries

Interesting. They seem to have the SRP incorrect which explains why its so cheap.

Preordered it right away to take advantage of the error. Thats over half off.
