Hopefully they'll eventually release Psychic with him & Catherine Mary Stewart. That was one of my rental faves back in the day, such a great video cover.

I will be greatly disappointed if Waxwork is not the full uncut version. The cut version dilutes the movie so bad it might as well be PG-13

I have never seen part II but the first one i watched all the time and it was the uncut version.I know the DVD version is cut. Hope the Bluray does not alter the same fate.

The 2 discs is great. So far Lionsgate seems to be doing everything right with this Vestron revival.

I know Amazon's specs should be taken with a grain of salt either way, but could the two discs be a combo pack? The listing does say '[DVD] [Blu-ray]'. (There's no DVD logo above/below the BD one on the spine though, as far as I can see.)

Not only that, but the same people who work on extras for Shout are doing extras for LG/Vestron as well. These releases are going to be great !!

I hope that means Red Shirt! (I forget the name of the other company they sometimes use, but people had complained about the quality of the production, whoever they were.) I suspected as much, given Cliff's apparent knowledge of this Vestron line. Good news!

Necron102 · 08-09-2016, 02:32 PM

Amazon pic has this listed as #3 not #5 as the earlier ones showed

Good catch. Maybe this will be October's only release after all.

It probably does. They did that recent German blu of The Resurrected, which is an LG title (and which I suspect will show up in the Vestron line soon).

I think Ballyhoo were the other ones, by the way. They did some fun stuff for MST3K and a great job with the extras on From a Whisper To a Scream, but I haven't seen much else by them.

Red Shirt did the special features for the Leprechaun set, so it's more than likely.

Ballyhoo are excellent (I had been thinking of a third company), and one I had mentioned earlier as a possible extras-creator for the Vestron line. They've done extras for several Synapse titles and are working on a full-length Empire Pictures documentary.

dsman71 · 08-09-2016, 03:08 PM

Red Shirt Pictures is run by Michael Felsher and his work is OUTSTANDING. He did the extras for Alligator

Ballyhoo is run by Daniel Griffith and he does a lot of documentaries and other great projects including the MST3K extras

Both are of the highest quality and 100% professional..and great people to get to know as well

Great, now I'm paranoid that this may be 1 Blu Ray for Waxwork and 1 DVD for Waxwork II. Waxwork has had an HD master for years... Waxwork 2 has not. This very well could turn out to be one Blu Ray and One DVD though I'm hopeful it's two Blu Rays.

OH WOW, Finally.. Too bad it is Lions Gate and not Scream Factory..I just hope the transfer is good..

If it wasn't Lionsgate, we wouldn't be getting it at all.

shaysaysHAHA · 08-10-2016, 03:27 AM

All those horror films being release by Lionsgate makes me think they don't have Fright Night Part II. I get that these are all titles that used to be on VHS from Vestron, but if they were going to put out any older horror films, I would think FNII would be the first one they would do (if they had it).
Super hyped for all these releases, though.

shaysaysHAHA · 08-10-2016, 03:31 AM

Also, I know these aren't Vestron titles, but I would love to see Ginger Snaps II and III on BD from Lionsgate.

It's been said several times across several different threads that Lionsgate doesn't likely have the film and it's back with Paramount. (this isn't intended to be a shot at you so please don't take offense.)

On an unrelated note, everytime I see your name pop up all I can think is Shalashaska... (Revolver Ocelot from the Metal Gear Universe)
