Mt Bloody Valentine DVD Special Edition

Finally, a special edition of My Bloody Valentine will be on DVD in January just in time for the release of the funky new 3-D remake of the original. I do not want to propogate rumors but "supposedly" the long lost censored footage (well, the lost footage was found years ago but not released) will appear in the deleted scenes section. Que latisma if this is true. I, for one, would love to see the footage re-edited into the film to create the original director's cut.

More details on this release as they are released.

Hopefully, they will also release the long lost television spots as well. I remember them as being creepy and cool. What a combo.

AMC Horrorfest

Is it called HorrorFest? Honestly, I cannot even remember and I have grown too LAZY to look. However, with Halloween upon us we now have AMC's monthly marathon of classic horror. Last year I complained about the lack of older horror films and this year a number of old Hammer and Universal films have returned to the line up. No, it is not as many as I would have hoped for but there are enough to bring a smile to my face. SON OF FRANKENSTEIN is represented and that is good enough for me. (Well, I would have dug some 1950's giant monsters, but you can't have everything)
