Alternate Ending? etc. This film deserves Blu-Ray treatment with extras

I own a VHS copy of this film and it came with some behind the scene notes and Director James Glickenhaus stated that he was forced to change the ending in some countries and kill off our hero John Eastland played by the late Robert Ginty.

Also I think this film deserves a special edition for a bluray release which would be the Director's Cut in Widescreen, Extras should have all the trailers and tv spots, A commentary by James Glickenhaus or behind the scenes, and this alternate ending. It's somewhere out there unless if that original print got destroyed. But even that, somebody would have made a copy of the alternate ending.

What do you all think? I'd like to see a DVD or Blu-Ray petition done for it.

I'd love to see a special edition Bu-Ray for this. I'd also like to see any kind of official release done for the sequel.

Synapse Films just announced that they're releasing The Exterminator on Blu-ray next year!!

I'm very good friends with this friend who knows and is very good friends with the owner of Synapse Films.

I need to check out the Synapse Films website on this,

I certainly hope that the Blu-Ray will feature some good stuff along with the alternate ending, but it will not surprise me if the alt ending isn't included. It's probably very hard to find. Anyways, I'll still buy the movie as Synapse will do an excellent job on the hi def transfer to the film.

Let's all just keep our fingers crossed and pray that the film will have good extra features and hopefully the alternate ending.
