Vincent Price on Blu-ray - Page 16 - Blu-ray Forum

JohnnyF · 02-05-2019, 10:38 AM

I am a complete idiot, but I at least have some honor.

Months ago I tracked down a copy of Leave Her to Heaven. It was the most I've spent on a single disc, but I was ecstatic. i saw the movie last year on the big screen and thought it was incredible.

Cut to last week. I find a second pricey copy for sale at a local record store. I trade in several bags of blu Rays and DVDs to get it.

I end up placing it for sale on eBay with what I feel is an pretty high price. Hedging my bets, I offer it up for trade on the forums here. Trade goes through AND I sell the one on eBay ON THE SAME DAY. instead of cancelling either, I go through with both. Meaning I now no longer have a copy of this great movie.

I'm an idiot, but I have some honor left.

On another note, here is Charles Bronson's prop head from House of Wax....

Is that yours?!?

Ha ha, if only !!! And if I did own it my wife would make me keep it in the garage....

I won't even pretend to be educated on older films, let alone the career of Vincent Price. Though I do remember watching The Pit and the Pendulum on VHS as a kid, a tape my folks had laying around. Terrified me. I'd like to revisit that one on BD.

Unfortunately the region 1 release is hard to get but if you are region free this is a great release.....

Oh man, that’s rough. Can I ask what you sold it on eBay for? I’m looking to maybe pick up a copy and I’m wondering what the average price is

That’s ok...everyone’s got to start somewhere

The bad news is that Pit and the Pendulum is on the Scream Factory Vincent Price Collection Vol. 1 and is OOP. Prices on eBay are insane...like over $200

One copy just sold on eBay for $125 plus shipping... the user name and location of the city are similar to his, so I'm assuming that's the one he sold.

Damn. I'm glad I got mine for 48 when I did (Thank you 20% off eBay!)

The Arrow blu-rays of Corman's Poe films are outstanding. Razor sharp, full of texture
and detail, correctly balanced color and densities. Just beautiful looking transfers that
easily surpass the USA counterparts. The Fall of the House of Usher and The Pit
and the Pendulum especially.

found this on eBay.

I was expecting to have to wait until getting a region free player to watch it but tested it anyway.

when I put it in a title came up something like "this disc is designed for region b" but I pressed both menu buttons a few times and it's working fine...

the other Region B Arrow video Blu-rays I got don't even load at all.

here's hoping The Tomb of Ligeia I have on order will be the same

Odd, as there is absolutely zero difference between Arrow & Shout on PIT

USHER is a little brighter on the ARROW.

Statements like this do no one any good when they are blatantly incorrect.

LOL.

There is a difference. It might not be huge, but you are saying there is zero difference then banging on about others making incorrect blanket statements.

Identical master, but Arrow best on the compression side of things. I'm not saying people with necessarily notice in motion, but it's there.

https://caps-a-holic.com/c.php?a=2&x...5&l=0&i=0&go=1

Arrow also appears to have an extra bit of tidying.

https://caps-a-holic.com/c.php?a=2&x...8&l=0&i=3&go=1

Not enough that anyone should particularly seek one out over the other, but that's moot now anyway with the Shout version long OOP. I do have a massive soft spot for my Arrow Six Gothic Tales box. Likewise OOP, it's gorgeous in presentation with all the individual art and a hardback book.

MifuneFan · 07-04-2019, 01:01 PM

To be fair, Richard was exaggerating, which was their point. Pit is virtually identical in motion, and the differences are probably seen when you look at the pixel level. Saying the Arrow easily surpasses its US counterpart is hyperbole at best. I think we can all agree about that

babybreese's criticism does no one any good when he hasn't even watched the blu-rays.

I go by what I see on the blu-rays. There is no competition between the Arrow blu-rays
and the Shout! The Arrow transfers surpasses the Shout! on my JVC. The Arrow editions
are among the best in my collection.

Disregard the screencaps -- and babybreese -- they're not an accurate representation.

Buy the Arrow blu-rays with complete confidence.
