Hmm... I might check it out. Thanks, man.

I know, but not only is it not available to order anymore, Twilight Time's pricing is beyond ridiculous and not worth it imo (they make Shout/Scream Factory and Arrow look like Wal-Mart's $3.75 bin). Plus, I've heard TT's transfers are terrible (or maybe I'm just thinking of "Night of the Living Dead").

Funny you should say that...

I got 3 copy’s if the Twilight released. 2 I bought and ten third a friend gave to me after he watched it.

TT's encoding is fine. Not Arrow or Indicator level, but probably even with Shout's current efforts. They just release what they're given though, some sometimes it's a great new master and sometimes it's old stuff.

...meanwhile the Indicator version exists and it's superior in every way.

Sky_Captain · 02-05-2019, 04:13 PM

'Superior in every way' is pushing it, it has a booklet and half of a Carpenter interview, that you need to buy Ghosts of Mars to fully see.

The transfers look identical.

I wonder what happened with the Indicator version of Wolf. I have never seen an Indicator encode be worse before.

TT's Vampires is pretty good. Was surprised how good it actually looked.

Heck yeah, I love Ghosts of Mars. Hope that one gets a Scream Factory collectors edition one day.

HipsterTrash · 05-24-2019, 02:57 PM

^Mill Creek just released a Ghosts of Mars, so I doubt there'll be a Scream Factory release. Which is unfortunate. GoM and Vampires deserve the SF treatment. They're fans of Carpenter so I can't believe they're leaving the titles out to hang.

Agreed. They even delayed the release so they could do some color correction with the color timing to get it closer to how it originally looked in theatres. I'm very pleased with TT's release.

They really don't, since they received excellent releases elsewhere.

I've never understood this line of thinking; releases don't need Scream's seal of approval

profholt82 · 05-24-2019, 06:01 PM

Yeah, not sure what the gripe is here. The Indicator releases of Vampires and Ghosts are both excellent and region free. Buy them, you won't be disappointed.

HipsterTrash · 05-25-2019, 02:43 AM

That's on me. I prefer Region A and my OCD makes me want the titles on A and from Scream. And I like the kitschy bad art covers they tend to do.

It's region free meaning it will play on your region A player
