what exactly is Dark Delicacies? are they part of a studio or are they just regular people? so if they're the latter, how do they get the copies of the film? do they just order them in bulk?

[Frightener22]

Pre-ordered 2 copies tonight myself. Happy I heard about the cutoff date today. Thanks Noirfan!

[Kaiju]

Is this a limited release?

They're a horror-themed bookstore in LA who frequently have book and BD/DVD/CD signings. Check out their website. I just found out about them relatively recently, but they've been around for at least two decades.

I just went through the entire thread. So it's going to be 480p on a blu-ray disc? So why would they even say blu-ray disc if it's not going to be 1080p? i don't know much about SD, so this is kinda of confusing. anybody care to help? i'm kinda pissed now that i ordered without reading the thread first.

It would be literally impossible to put 25-30 signatures on one BD cover.

three covers? what? isn't this supposed to be in a 3 disc (well 4 disc) amaray case? or is it going to be in 4 single amaray cases boxed in a box set? if it's not in a single amaray case i will be pissed.

in LA, never heard of them. and i live in LA. lol.

sorry for all the questions. lol

[NoirFan]

You're probably right about amaray, not sure why I was envisioning three separate cases/covers. Customs are for overseas customers. DD are in Burbank specifically. Being seven hours on one BD, it will have to be standard definition, but will still look very good upscaled, like their Never Sleep Again doc. I'm disappointed it won't be 1080p, but reconciled to it.

So how do we know how many will sign the BD and who will sign?

[Majin Blu]

I went ahead and ordered, too. Seems really cool to not get.
So, it's been said
- Account isn't charged until right before the signing event
- They'll mail you the actual signed copy? (Because I can't go to California)

These questions have probably been covered, but because of my connection at the moment, it's very slow, so sorry for being repetitive.

Same here 2 copies

[NoirFan]

No idea if midnight means Pacific, but it's 11:28 PM EST now, so probably best to get your order in soon if you're considering buying.

[NoirFan]

Have 1428 Films specifically addressed why they didn't choose to go the 1080p route, or has the '7 hours on one BD cannot possibly be 1080p' statement/question not been asked of them? I'm a little irked that they to this point are misrepresenting their product by referring to it as a Blu-ray, with the assumption that it is full 1080p HD. I'm not a tech expert, but wouldn't that be basically impossible under the circumstances? I mean, if they had said up front that yes, this will be in standard definition due to cost concerns, but we are putting the documentary in SD on a BD for those who have BD players and would prefer not to switch discs, that would be different, but to my knowledge they haven't done this.

FYI, my special instruction was to use the back of the cover. I then emailed them to clarify that I meant the reverse of the sleeve art, and they responded that they could not accommodate any special requests regarding the autographs and that all 30 would be fit onto the "front" -- I assume this means the front of the sleeve, not the "front cover" part of the sleeve. I said I wasn't sure how that was possible and they said "We've done it before."

I guess they would know then, I've only been following their signings for a year or so. Does anyone know which previous signing this refers to? Considering the dimensions of a BD case, those will have to be some tiny signatures!

[mar3o]

Will they be signing the actual paper front artwork slip that slips underneath the plastic of the case, or will they just be signing the plastic outer sleeve/case itself? Just curious because there is good and bad either way. I imagine they would just be signing the plastic case itself so you could actually slip the front/rear artwork cover out from underneath the plastic and it would be clean with no signatures, leaving all the signatures on the actual case itself. That would seem the easiest thing to do instead of carefully taking out the art sleeve and signing them all without crumpling up the slip and then trying to slip it back under the plastic again after it's all signed.

The bad thing about that is if the case breaks, well, that's where the signatures are, as opposed to being on the actual slip art, which can be transplanted to another plastic case if it ever breaks. Does this question make sense how I'm trying to explain it? Does anyone know? NoirFan, how are your other signed items - are the signatures underneath the plastic on the art itself or is it directly on the plastic front of the case?

[NoirFan]

They're all on the front cover art itself. They could theoretically fit 12 on the front, 12 on the back, and perhaps, depending on the total, more on the disc and/or a chapter insert or booklet, if there is one.

Edit: Seriously? I only have one minute to edit a post?

I see, so then if my case cracks or breaks I can slip the art out like any normal blu-ray and just slip it into another new case with all the signatures on it then right? I do have a few blu-ray cases that don't close properly anymore, some that never did even new.

I'd hate to see art on the disc itself I think. I've read many things over the years that ink from markers on the top disc surface is bad for discs because it can seep into the disc and cause harm over time. Perhaps that's only for burnable DVD-R/CD-R discs? But then there's the pressure applied to the disc. That would make me a tad nervous. Though I I guess it would look kinda cool to see a signature right on the disc itself.

Just ordered 2 copies. Not sure if I got in on time, no confirmation email yet. *crossing fingers*

I hope they just give it to you since you were that close. I got my email instantly.

I know they did a big signing for NEVER SLEEP AGAIN too, so they have done something this big before.

I'm pretty sure they all just signed the poster that time.

But here's who was there signing:

Daniel Farrands (Co-director/producer)
Andrew Kasch (co-director/editor)
Thommy Hutson (writer/producer)
Heather Langenkamp (narrator/executive producer)
Buz Wallick (director of photography)
Sean Schafer Hennessy (composer)
Michael Granberry (main titles designer)
Benni Pierce (editor)
Lito Velasco (co-producer)
Annette Slomka (line producer/assistant editor)
Justin Cruise (sound design)
Kim Williams (post production supervisor)
Mike Mendez (assistant editor)
Don Crandall (key grip)
Jenna Busch (makeup artist)

Elm Street films cast and crew: Tuesday Knight, Kelly Jo Minter, Ira Heiden, Zack Ward, Ken Sagoes, CJ Strawn, Christopher Young, Jacques Haitkin, John Skipp, Mark Irwin, Mark Shostrom, David J. Schow, Roy Wagner, J. Peter Robinson, Erika Anderson, Renny Harlin, Jennifer Rubin, Tobe Sexton, Kim Myers, Miko Hughes, and Leslie Hoffman.

Quite certain Monica Keena was there too.

So I don't know if that will bug people but looks like 10 autographs could just be production people from the actual doc. So not all 25-30 will be TRUE Friday the 13th alum.

Here's a video of the event. Check out 1:40 mark at how awesome that poster looked all signed in the eye popping SILVER sharpie!!!

They guy keeps mentioning they did it in TWO buildings???

I see the list I found did not include JoAnne Willette and the crazy awesome Brooke Theiss. I love Brooke.

Anyone else attend the FEAR FEST 2 convention in Texas??? They did a huge Elm Street reunion and I literally met almost all the main players there. I think besides the HUGE NAMES, like Depp, Arquette or Fishburne, I have met every other major star of the first five films. Anyone else?
