I was just told the same (one and two being A + B, 3 and 4 B).

The third movie was always guaranteed to be locked since Shout released it here. It was the fourth that could have gone either way.

Price matching Target I assume.

Keep in mind Bullmoose has it for $36.97 and thats free shipping and no tax. Also they don't oversell like Target has.

Last night Diabolikdvd sent an email saying my order was sent to processing. Does anyone know how long it usually takes to receive the item after that?

I'm really looking forward to watching the original House in HD, it's one of the better horror/comedy's in my opinion. For some reason I really enjoy almost all of Steve Miners work, I know he's not one of the most celebrated horror directors of his time but there is just something fun and very rewatchable about his horror films. From his two Friday the 13th sequels to Warlock, Lake Placid, Halloween H20 and House I would say he has an extremely solid horror filmography.

Carmine01 · 03-22-2017, 03:38 PM

The Steve Miner movies you mentioned are all extremely watchable. The Day of the Dead remake on the other hand, is just awful. But like you said, he's a decent horror movie director.

Not bad, not bad at all. I have yet to see any of the House films, ditto for Warlock. But I love Friday the 13th, Lake Placid was OK fun, and H20 is decent and one of the better entries in the series.

Probably goes without saying, but as an enormous fan of 80s horror/comedy, is House an essential purchase? I've always been very intrigued with the first two movies but they've never been widely available.

This Arrow U.S. set looks like the perfect opportunity to delve into them, even Part 2 looks a little too outlandish for my tastes.

Recommended blind buy?

My god man yes. Brent Baker effects, Manfredini score, Richard Moll as a vengeful zombie, big George Wendy in full shlub mode. What are you waiting for???

Debating whether to grab the U.S. set and the Shout release of 3, or get the UK set. I like having region A copies of movies wherever possible, and it sounds like 4 isn't anything I'd miss. But how much better does 3 look and sound in the UK set is the question...

The SF release of Horror Show is cut and suffers from compression issues. I'd go with the Arrow edition, which will be uncut and taken from a new 2k restoration.

Good to know. Maybe I don't need 3 either though. Sounds like the first two are the ones to see.

Technically, the Scream release is the original US Theatrical Version and the Arrow release will also include that.

Mister B Gone · 03-23-2017, 07:53 PM

There has been a lot of hype around this release and I just want to caution people against a blind buy. Both films are available on Shudder. Nostalgia is a powerful force; I enjoyed this film very much as a child and I would compare it with The Gate.. IMO, however, The Gate holds up upon a recent re-watch of the Vestron release. This, did not. That's just me though.. check it out for yourself.

That said, I'm still buying it. But at least I know exactly what I'm getting into.

dcfan88 · 03-23-2017, 08:18 PM

I'm getting the UK set instead of the US set. The UK set includes all FOUR instead of just 1 and 2.

filmbuffTX · 03-23-2017, 08:20 PM

I'm not region free, but have both the UK set and US set on preorder. I think I'm going to cancel the US set since it appears House 1 & 2 will be region free on the UK set. They cost about the same and I'll have the 2 extra movies to watch when I have a player that can play them.

I considered the U.K. set but I already have the scream factory version of 3. While I may get the bug every now and then to upgrade/double dip for movies I love, I'm sad to say that The Horror Show isn't one of those movies I feel the burning desire to do so on. Never seen 4 and from what I've read I really don't need to.

When I really think about it the only movie I want out of the set is the first but I'm willing to pay a couple extra bucks to not wait for eventual individual release. It's a nice bonus that the US set comes with part 2 and I'll give it another chance one day but when I bought the DVD I couldn't even sit through the whole thing.

Donl1282 · 03-23-2017, 08:37 PM

I don't understand why Warner would not issue rights to Arrow to release House 4 in US if they don't plan to do anything with the film anyway.
