Amityville Horror (1979), Carrie (1976), Young Frankenstein - October 7 - Blu-ray Forum

The Amityville Horror Blu-ray

Amityville Horror (1979) was previously postponed from Oct 9, 2007 and Carrie (1976) and Young Frankenstein have been rumored for some time.

Blu-ray will drive me to a happy bankruptcy this year. At least i'll have lots to watch.

I'm going to buy it but I do not imagine the original Amityville Horror will look that good in 1080P. MGM is really digging deep into their back catalog.

oooo I want Carrie.

And an anamorphic Young F, this time.

(And for all the kids who'd never heard of Blazing Saddles the last time old-catalog-discussions came up, I assume we've got a few fans who've heard of the Other Great 1974 Brooks Film?)

it's about time mgm releases something. a bridge to far and battle of britain has been the only releases i can remember this year from mgm. they have a huge catalog. hopefully we see better offerrings than the BD25 mpeg-2 bare bone releases they're used to putting out.

ArieS · 07-24-2008, 06:17 AM

Man, depending on PQ and AQ, Young Frankensteen is a sure buy!

PowellPressburger · 07-24-2008, 07:16 AM

Very excited for Carrie... hopefully they will have more bonus features for it for the retail price they will charge on it. I still have my Criterion LD with commentary track.

Hopefully they will carry over previous bonus feature from the most recent DVD release. WARNING to those who think all films should look like candy... this one will be very murky more than likely and will have grain. Get used to it. .. Will be cool to see what the transfer will look like in the end.

Rob71 · 07-24-2008, 10:19 AM

I'll take all three. And I thought September was going to be a rough month.

Teazle · 07-24-2008, 10:45 AM

Yes! Young Frankenstein a must-buy for me.

"WHAT HUMP?!"

upswiseass · 07-24-2008, 10:49 AM

Young Frankenstein is fantastic. I will own it.

GoBlu08 · 07-24-2008, 10:52 AM

I went to highdefdigest.com and they listed Carrie and Young Frankenstein. Didn't see Amityville horror which sucks because thats the one I want.

Blu Titan · 07-24-2008, 11:26 AM

September is going to be a crazy month for Blu-ray purchases. Lots of titles available for Q4.

they are probably just slow to add that one to the release list. They added maid in manhattan a day or two after the other Sony romantic comedies. I wouldn't worry about it. It will be posted.

GoBlu08 · 07-24-2008, 01:05 PM

Cool. I have been waiting for that release. I am hoping that they release the Exorcist, Cujo, and IT as well. Then I would be completely satisfied.

GoBlu08 · 07-24-2008, 02:09 PM

Well the post on this website is not showing Amityville either. This is one of my must haves times 10.

Carrie was just on one of the HD channels this last weekend and it looked good. There was not a lot of grain. I was surprised at how good it looked for a movie as old as it is.

GoBlu08 · 07-24-2008, 05:05 PM

I will get Carrie as well. Never seen young frankenstein. Amityville Horror is only on releasedates.com. This better be true.

If they're importing the featurettes from the last SD release, isn't there also a short on the Making of the Musical?

(I wouldn't know, since Netflix doesn't stock double-dip SE's.)

Yeah the most recent special edition DVD did contain a small bonus featurette on the musical of Carrie.
