NEW US TITLE ANNOUNCEMENT: Creepshow 2 Limited Edition Blu-ray + Standard Blu-ray

WHEN THE CURTAIN GOES UP THE TERROR BEGINS

Horror titans George A. Romero and Stephen King deliver yet another fiendish selection of blood-curdling tales in Creepshow 2 – now newly remastered in 2K!

In “Old Chief Wood'nhead”, a group of young hoodlums face retribution from an unlikely source after looting a local hardware store. Meanwhile, “The Raft” sees a group of horny teens wishing they’d read the warning signs first before taking a dip in a remote lake. Finally, an uptight businesswoman finds herself with some unwanted company following a hit-and-run incident in “The Hitch-hiker”.

Whilst retaining the EC comic book flavour that made the original such a hit, Creepshow 2, this time directed by long-time Romero collaborator Michael Gornick, is a decidedly darker and grimmer affair than its predecessor and remains one of the greatest horror anthologies of all time.

Very interesting, I just might buy this if Arrow gets it right.

[MifuneFan]

Still need to see these movies. That cover is pretty sweet.

[Lyle_JP]

Original stereo audio? I know Anchor Bay did a 5.1 mix at one point, but the original soundtrack is mono IIRC.

Unless this was a case of an original stereo track that wound up not being used theatrically (perhaps no one wanted to pay Dolby a royalty?).

I'm going to throw down more money than I need to for the limited edition, and I hate myself for it.

It's going to look great on my shelf though.

Goodbye Image release!

[Mister B Gone]

This is awesome news, I love this movie.

[Show spoiler]THANKS FOR THE RIDE LADY!

[Retroj23]

Sweet! I'll be getting this. Great year for horror re-masters. Keep them comin'.

[Member-222782]

God, what an awesome cover! The new 2K master is the main selling point for me. Time to get rid of the 88 Films edition.

[Zillamon51]

I just got the Image disc a month ago. You're welcome.

[meremortal]

I used to love this as a kid, though today only "The Raft" segment really holds up. Might still pick it up for nostalgia if the price is right during sale periods.

[Goldensuitcase]

I didn't love this film, but will definitely buy this version. Looks fantastic.

[Win Slow]

I wonder what this will go for ... this is a big time sentimental favorite of mine. Used to watch this over and over again as a kid & while i have the Image release i am not sure how i will be able to pass this up.

Of course after I imported the 88 films release. May have to get this version.

[Scott R.]

First we get JUST DESSERTS and now this. Great news but I wonder, when will we get a worthy SE of the first CREEPSHOW??

[ste71]

i'm in the UK and wondering to get this...........

[The Great Owl]

Holy cow. I'm buying this! I saw Creepshow 2 at the theater when it was first released.
