This is officially true.

On the Media Asia version used by HKL for the 2001 DVD, they replaced the title card as Encounters of the Spooky Kind, replacing the creepy slimy font with boring white text in the process

Yup. I remember. I had that DVD (might even still have it kicking around). It's erroneously referred to Encounters in various releases. I think the confusion is because of the alternative Spooky Encounters title.

Yes! Fantastic news!

As long as Warriors Two gets the best/proper treatment. No problems

I just want to see Enter the Fat Dragon get a glorious new remaster.

Eureka uploaded a trailer:

ENCOUNTER OF THE SPOOKY KIND (Eureka Classics) New & Exclusive Trailer - YouTube

Just from that trailer alone it has me excited and looking forward to what will be another great release and new discovery for me.

Would you mind expanding on the specifics, please?

Totally agree! The German blu ray is pretty excellent though until then.

[Drunksnake]

The trailer looks great! Pre ordered along with One Armed Boxer.

It's great, you'll probably love it. It's like a cross between The Magnificent Butcher and The Evil Dead.

Warriors Two is a film I've seen and yet haven't heard...the remix on the HKL DVD was that bad!

[revoloution]

This is definitely feeling to be the year of the Sammo

Not even Easter yet and we've already had 3 released and another one coming in June.

I hope we can get Millionaire's Express, Pantyhose Hero and Skinny Tiger, Fatty Dragon too, Hell I'll even take Paper Marriage if Eureka can get that.

Oh agreed! That was terrible.. Hopefully the talented crew/fans on this forum can fix this one up, real nice.

Pedicab Driver and Painted Faces would be welcome additions too!

Pedicab Driver is Warners so don't get your hopes up.

Painted Faces - I believe this is Celestial.

My thought process today: Eureka releasing Johnnie To's PTU -> 'Ah, To's Sparrow would be another good one!' -> 'Wait, wasn't there another Hong Kong pickpocket movie starring Sammo Hung?' -> Carry On, Pickpocket (1982) added to my future Eureka / 88 Films Hong Kong releases wish list.

I'd thought a remaster would've been timed around the Donnie Yen remake last year.
