One can dream, can't he? EDIT, post-Jameson281's edit: DAMN! They didn't even do well enough on Amazon? Or Deep Discount? Sheesh...what's a guy gotta do to get some love around here?!

If CHILD'S PLAY finally recieved a new transfer, it will certainly be a high definition transfer and a good candidate for Blu-ray release.

My girlfriend doesn't like that many horror movies (they scare her too much!) but she's a HUGE Chucky fan so this will be appreciated by both halves. Especially since the UK DVD was so damn dark you couldn't see Jack - or Chucky for that matter!

I've been waiting for a special edition of Pumpkin Head on DVD for years (I only have it on VHS). I hope they slap some extras on there. A commentary and a documentary are in order!

Jun 12 08 6:49 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I'm not too thrilled about Childs Play, it happens to be one of those movies that I really enjoyed as a kid, but when I saw it as an adult it didn't hold the same amount of water. I still have the memory of what I liked about that movie and that is good enough for me. Pumpkinhaed not exactly super excited either but I have considered purchasing it in the past. Pretty cool premis, amazing looking creature, cool old witch in the woods. So I if I am walking through the store and it is the right price, and I am in the right mood, I could see myslef scooping it up. BUT I still have to get the Skull first on dvd before I worry about that one.

Jun 12 08 8:35 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Ok, so no new MMs. What about stand-alone releases, something like INCREDIBLE MELTING MAN, just without the MM banner? And hell, what about MGM's Hammer movies? Are they going to wait and see how Sony's sets go? Ben Kundun Rat Terrier: 8/16/02 - 3/26/11. RIP, Ku.

Jul 19 08 12:42 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	The 20th Anniversary Edition: Special Features - Commentary track with creator/writer Don Mancini and producer David Kirschner. - A second track with FX guru Kevin Yagher, Catherine Hicks (Kevin's wife; they met on the film), and now-grown-up Alex Vincent. - A third track with Mancini and Chucky (Brad Dourif voicing in character). *** I'm sold! - The film itself is presented in 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen. - Making-of documentary blending archival footage with new, on-camera interviews with Mancini, Kirschner, Yagher, Hicks, Vincent, Chris Sarandon, John Lafia and Brad Dourif. All this commentary should blow away the 1 page "collectible" piece of paper with the original dvd release. "Your brain is too feeble to concieve what I have accomplished!!"
