However,that same seller sold 3 copies for $80 each which i suspect is the maximum quantity available for preorder? What really is the shocker is the seller states in his description that the new preorder is already sold out and out of print? The preorder is 2 days away still,talk about fraud,that is just sad.Check it out for your amusement or disgrace.

In addition to the three the seller has already sold at $65.

No surprise that such a scummy seller would resort to lying, but jeeze..

It went up for pre-order and just a few hours later it was gone

I am curious as to why this film is so popular/sought after? Is it actually any good? I have never seen it and am only buying it because it is in a list of 80's slasher films i am collecting.

[wormraper]

Actually he's correct. It is oop.. Its just not out of STOCK. The minute TT presses a set its no longer in print.


Oh. And he closed the listing and relisted at $120.


Its a matter of Symantec's but it works. People do pre orders like that all the time

He flat out lied and said the preorder went up, and sold out in a few hours. That's a funny autocorrect btw

I didn't buy it the first time because I hadn't seen it, but when I did, I understood what was all the fuss about it.
It's really a classic!

I consider it to be one of the all time best vampire films.

Chances are it hasn't even been manufactured or "printed" yet so it's hard to be OOP already.

I like how he also says that the new edition is sold out.

The good news this new sold out edition edition has a slew of Special Features that the previous edition lacked.

It's not an 80s slasher film.

I definitely can't say that there are any better, but there are a few others that I enjoy just as much (or maybe just almost as much), like: Bram Stoker's Dracula and The Lost Boys.

I don't mind the frame, nice subtle way to differentiate the editions.

I feel Herzog's 1979 remake of Nosferatu (the 1922 original also a very good film) to be a strong candidate for the all-time best vampire film. Certainly the most artful, in any case. But Fright Night and Lost Boys are definitely up there, both great. Come to think of it, there are lots of good vampire movies. I've always felt vampires have done much better film-wise than werewolves, zombies and most other creatures with roots in myth and folklore.

[AKORIS]

Fright Night, to me, was the last great, classic vampire film.........


and I never appreciated one again as much until the recent combo of Let The Right One In and Let Me In....

I still haven't seen the Nosferatus. I need to! I liked Shadow of the Vampire.

I mostly agree with the second bolded statement. Though there are a couple of werewolf films that I think are equal in quality to Fright Night, Bram Stoker's Dracula, and The Lost Boys: The Howling, Silver Bullet, An American Werewolf in London, and The Company of Wolves.

I'm definitely going to make it a point to watch the Nosferatus within the next month. I would hate to be missing out on them if they're truly as good (and I believe they probably are) as every one says they are.
