When I mentioned my copy was cropped to simulate widescreen, it was hinted that it came from the MGMHD channel - OR was that a pristine "non cropped" version? If so, I am back in the market for a copy... hint... hint... someone PM me.

Thanks, Carl I don't see it on the Mill Creek sets but then again I didn't look too deep. At the same time I believe there is a copyright issue here and why it was a surprise to show up on the following mentioned disc. As in my original quest post above (#1) to find a decent DVD transfer, I have a copy on a triple feature DVD formerly released by EDI and now on a company called TMG - Timeless Media Group (may also be defunct now?) released 7-3-2007. The disc was simply entitled "Horror Classics" (UPC 011301695437) and includes "The Terror", "Carnival of Souls", and "Revenge of the Zombies". Unfortunately Revenge is the worst of the three transfers AND it is badly cropped by a psudo widescreen mask. The DVD includes a second disc of 96 horror sound effects... pretty bad with a lot of variable dupes and electronic produced effects but hey, it was supposed to be free. There is also a Region 2 version sometimes seen paired with "Voodoo Woman" or "Night of the Living Dead" but since I don't own a region free player so haven't seen it, can't attest as to the quality. I too am still seeking a good quality copy (even gray as long as no commercials or fake masks) in Region 1 Eric Last Edited By: Eric Huffstutler Nov 29 08 5:18 PM. Edited 1 times.

Nov 30 08 7:23 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I was just rooting around in my collection and found REVENGE OF THE ZOMBIES. Eric Huffstutler is right-- it's not part of the Mill Creek set (but I was storing it in the same storage drawer as my Mill Creek collections, so that's my excuse for being wrong!). Rather, it's on one of those PC Treasures/DVD Treausres "Double Features" from 2005 (complete with a Casper the Friendly Ghost cartoon)-- I picked mine up at a dollar store's post-Halloween clearance table. The quality is ugly-- soft, muddy & gray... it's like watching it through a haze wrought by a long night of cough-syrup abuse.

She said she couldn't do an interview about it, because she remembered nothing about the movie. I offered to send her a copy -- "Maybe watching it will bring back some memories." She said, "No, I know it won't, 'cause I watched it on Turner just last week!"

Apr 10 09 12:30 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Since Time-Warner just started carrying the MGM HD channel in my area, I got to watch the HD transfer last night. It could have benefitted from a little more digital cleanup, and the shadow areas looked a wee bit dark, but overall it looked pretty good. It was shown at the correct 1.33:1, not the cropped 1.78:1 version that has reportedly turned up on some other channels.

Think this is the one with that widescreen mask. I can live with that' hey, might make me feel like I'm watching an epic! LOL Mind you the copy of NOTLD, isn't the greatest transfer' seen better. It appears whenever there is fast motion to pixelate. Sorry if I spelt that wrong. Don't you think Zombies work best in black n' white?

It's on this Monday afternoon (I just got MGM HD today) and I'll make sure to get that recorded! Man with the Sho Kosugi Ninja movies, The Norsemen, Death Rides a Horse, Price, and this on within the next 24+ hours, the channel has already paid for itself!
