"We are finishing up Massacre"

They just need to release it at this point. I will take it without extra! I wish they would release an alternate version with the lame song and opening credits removed. They are the only bad thing in the movie.

In the podcast, Don says that they have extras

Couldn't disagree more with this. I mean we've waited so long already, I can hold out a little longer. I definitely want some extras. This movie has NEVER had any.

And whatttt that opening song is f**king amazing lol. It's so cheesy I love it.

Don's clearly not the kind of person who'll release a half assed disc with no extras, and I am eternally thankful for that.

This movie has never got a decent release and you want to wait around another 3 or 4 years on the off chance that they might get some extras!

Lots of things can happen as we wait for years on this and this thing might never get released, but who cares as long as we might get extras.

Drama queen much? Who said it'll be 3-4 years? They said in the podcast that they're "FINISHING UP MASSACRE AT CENTRAL HIGH", how you get 3-4 years out of that is beyond me.

And yes. I would like extras. I don't want to wait all this time for JUST the movie. And I'm definitely not the only one.

I added the quote (in bold) "We're finishing up Massacre" when I posted the link to the podcast. Don mentions that they have extras, and you suggest that they should release it without extras if need be.

Did you even listen to the podcast?

There's no doubt Don does great work on all of Synapse's releases, his problem is he needs to stop announcing shit so far in advance.

Yup! Really excited for special features for this film, and always prefer to wait for a top quality product over getting lesser discs out faster.

Is this going to end up being another $46 steelbook?

HuggyBear73 · 05-20-2017, 04:47 AM

Did Don mention DEADLY SPAWN at all?

GeoffOliver · 05-20-2017, 04:53 AM

This is a really interesting movie, and goes really well with films like Carrie, Prom Night, and Heathers. It's ideas are much stronger than its execution, and it's very, very tame, but its themes are strong enough to make the movie worth watching. I saw it through a really terrible VHS rip on YouTube, and looking forward to seeing it in HD.

No not a word today.

A lot of blind buyers are going to be severely mislead by the "massacre" in the title. This one always reminded me more of an anti bullying after school special.

No when it gets released in 2020 inflation will have it be like $56.

I guess that that podcast was just a fantasy then.

Oh. Did they announce it soon?

AlexIlDottore · 05-20-2017, 02:44 PM

All info is in the podcast. I posted quotes of the important stuff to save people time who didn't want to listen to it.

I give up.

I'm not surprised to hear that director Dalder (sp?) has "gone silent." I suspect that that occurred previously, with the several other labels that have attempted to release MASSACRE AT CENTRAL HIGH.

The end of the podcast talks about the upcoming release of THE CREEP BEHIND THE CAMERA. According to Don, the DVD will have the film and some supplements, while the Blu-ray will have a separate disc with a new 2K scan of THE CREEPING TERROR. The hope is that the CREEP releases will be released before the end of 2017.
