I'd like to know if this is just a port of VS's disc.

[JudgeJuryExecutioner]

Also curious if this is a new scan.

[Matt89]

Interesting. I also wonder if it's the same master. Likely, considering the OCN is lost.

That said, I'm good with my VS edition.

[critterdvd]

I’ll get excited when someone announces parts 2 and 3

I'd never get rid of mine. The magnetic clasp box completely covered with artwork is a one of a kind.

Given Scream Factory's History with box sets, I am more than a bit curious if we won't see parts 2 and 3 on Blu Ray to coincide with this release of the original.

[Matt89]

I just want a Sleepaway Camp boxset.

No need to move off the VS release. That's one of the coolest 4ks I own in packing and presentation.

Funny thing is that Shout! can has access to Beastmaster 2 from their Paramount deals and Beastmaster III from their Universal deals. If they really wanted to happen, they could make it happen unless the materials for both are not available. :-)

Freaking knew it!

Same, love that case.

Cool for those who missed out on the VS release, but no way in hell would i get rid of my deluxe VS set. Tis a beast.

[DR Herbert West]

Makes me wonder if they'll also get a Phantasm 4K deal (Don owns Beastmaster and Phantasm).

Probably one of the few instances of me blind-buying a film solely because the packaging was so nice. Gorgeous artwork across the board. Thankfully, the film wound up being good, too!

My brother and I watched it on cable endlessly as a child. It and RAD hold a special place for that reason alone.
