Watched this film for the first time the other night (on blu-ray). Movie was God awful but great transfer though.

Back up to $24.88 - can't do it. Well, I CAN I just won't.

Is there a difference between the Kino Lorber and Scorpion version of this? I can't even find a listing for the Kino Lorber version on the site.

I believe the Kino version is just a reissue of the Scorpion version. Scorpion has a distribution deal with Kino on some of the titles (they've also been collaborating on titles but releasing them under the Kino banner with Scorpion handling extras).

I didn't know there even was another version of this... but I did a Vincent Price marathon and thought "I'll finally watch this one... I'm saving it for last" but I fell asleep with the menu on. Not a good sign. lol.

I didn't know this either. Looks like Kino used the art Scorpion rejected initially for some reason. I like the Kino art better.

Hellhound · 08-09-2016, 03:41 PM

Kind of weird that Amazon doesn't even list the Kino version that I can find.

hmmm, there shouldnt be another version of this, this must be a mistake, plus that front art is a no-no from the licensor or it was never printed

So what is Kino selling on their website? The Scorpion version?

EVERYONE LIES · 08-09-2016, 05:02 PM

What is going on with this title? Can we get some clarification?

Hellhound · 08-10-2016, 01:11 PM

According to responses on the Kino Lorber Studio Classics thread it appears the version in the Kino store is the same as the Scorpion one. I went ahead and ordered a copy since it appears to be OOP and out of stock everywhere else except for scalper prices.

That's John Bolton's art for the cover of a promotional comic for the film. A thousand copies were printed and you'll be lucky to find one now but the comic was reprinted in Halls of Horror magazine, issue 25. The art was also used for the UK quad poster and Bolton's drawings are used in the Humgoo story

When you get it, can you verify what the special features are...thanks.

I got my copy from the Kino Lorber store. It's the exact same version listed on this site with all the special features listed on the back cover image on this website (i.e. the Scorpion release.) There is no separate Kino Lorber version.

brettxwt · 09-05-2017, 05:06 PM

It seems this release has skyrocketed in value. It's only been OOP for a couple years, but keeps going up in price, so I'm kinda glad I got it when I did ($40 on eBay a year or so ago). I just got around to opening it last night and finally watching it after having it sit on the shelf since I bought it. I love this film, and haven't seen it in what must have been years. It holds up so well, and is a such a fun movie. Should be a yearly Halloween tradition.

Region B edition dirt cheap quite often, though doesn't have the extras.

Is the region b version the same PQ wise?

Mystic · 09-06-2017, 02:16 AM

Glad I picked this up in October 2013 when it was originally released. Can't believe its worth 10x what I originally paid for it.

The film is an annual favorite in October during my month long Halloween horror film festival.
