I haven't watched Dark Sky's DVD of the film, so I don't know what it looks like aside from some of the screen caps some people have posted, but BLOOD is a strangely shot film, period. However, I dug out a reel of the film (which I have in lab sections) and did some scans. It would seem to me that correctly framed, there should be nothing important lost at 1.85:1 (cyan border is 1.85:1, red is 1.66:1). and just for S&Gs:

The compositions on the left look better to me. It looks like 1.66 might have been the way to go here.

I hear that RETROMEDIA had a better looking DVD of THE FLESH EATERS than anyone else (including both Dark Sky AND Sinister Cinema) plus tons of EXTRAS before it was recalled! I don't think it was ever released to stores?

Putting aside any visual issues with various Dark Sky discs, I simply do not understand the beef about their TEXAS CHAINSAW audio mix. As I understand it, a couple of screams are lost in the 5.1 track. WHO GIVES A FLYING CRAP? Like there isn't enough screaming in the movie already!!!
