I thought this movie was coming out from VCI as a 2-disc set and then there were problems and it was recalled, to be released later. Anyone know what happened...
It was released with a version that inadvertently omitted a few minutes of footage. Replacement versions were sent out to those who mailed the faulty copies...
Thanks Dennis. I didn't see the special edition for sale on Amazon. Do you know if it is available or is the special edition out of print? Thanks, Mike ... ...
Were the missing scenes in the theatrical version, or were they included in TV/VHS versions? I read somewhere that MGM was restoring theatrical cuts for DVD,...
... The source material used for the DVD is not only scratched in the last reel, but it's cut by nearly seven minutes. Among the missing items: Max Julien's...
It doesn't appear as if the Special 2-Disc edition is currently available. Do check the DVD Drive-In website, which had a story on the whole problem and may...
Great info below on the running time, where did you find it? I am working on an AIP research project and was hoping you might share your source, great...

Hi, Thanks for the response. Any suggestions on where I might find or get access to this kind of info for someone like myself who is researching a book on the...
I don't know, but the Academy library would probably be a good place to start. ... get access to this kind of info for someone like myself who is researching a...
Have you already checked Mark McGee's Faster and Furiouser? That's a terrific history of AIP with authentic facts as opposed to some other error-filled...
Hi Dennis, Yeah its a great book, I have both additions, and many, many books on the different folks involved Roger Corman, Paul Blaisdell, etc and of course...
You might first of all pick up "How I Made 100 Movies in Hollywood and Never Lost a Dime" by R. Corman. There's a compainion book by Sam Arkoff too, but I ...
Arkoff's book is called FLYING THROUGH HOLLYWOOD BY THE SEAT OF MY PANTS. Sid Pink and Larry Buchanan also wrote autobiographies. I'd love to do a book on AIP...
There never was a 2-disc version, but VCI's recent "35th Anniversary Exhumed Edition" was the one that was recalled and reissued several weeks later. This...
I. TCM broadcasted BLACULA (1972) and it's sequel SCREAM, BLACULA, SCREAM (1973). I always admired shakespearean actor William Marshall [who portrays Blacula...
And don't forget SUGAR HILL. Hope to see that one on dvd soon, but I also hope they actually find some footage with blood in it...or at least some more...
WOW - I forgot about that 1974 AIP release [fangs for reminding me] featuring horror as a means to obtain social justice 'cause she's sweet as sugar ... with a...
WOW - an actual DVD release for SUGAR HILL (aka )? It's listed on imdb.com as being filmed in 1.85 : 1 ratio but even amazon.com lists a 2005 cheap DVD release...
... No, SUGAR HILL is not public domain; it's still under copyright and distributed by MGM, so any DVD you may see here in the states is a bootleg. There was...
I found this tonight on Amazon and I'm honestly curious as to the company's claims on the transfers. And, upon seeing a YouTube preview of the set, I'm...
NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD was actually shot to be framed at 1.33, so any "widescreen" presentation is cutting off visual information Romero wanted you to see. ...
NOTLD was filmed in 1.33:1, however with the intention of matting it. On another forum, a professional projectionist with great knowledge of older films has...
I took a look at the original Elite dvd of NOTLD for a bit this afternoon with VLC Player, and tried cropping it at its settings of 16:10 and 16:9 -- and guess...
I seem to recall that the Gorgio Miroeoder rock and roll sountrack version of Fritz Lang's "Metropolis" was also reformatted for 16:9... which is weird because...
