TRICK OR TREAT SPECIAL EDITION DVD


DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THIS WILL GET A SPECIAL EDITION DVD RELEASE FROM ANCHOR BAY?I KNOW THERE IS A 7 DOLLAR VERSION OUT THERE,BUT I WAS HOPING MAYBE THERE WOULD BE A SPECIAL EDITON COMING OUT SOON.

reply

I think Anchorbay's will be a 'special edition', because if you go onto play.com, they don't have a release date on it, or any info as yet, but they are calling it 'Trick or Treat Special Edition', why else would they call it that, so it must be. PLus what's also good is that Anchorbay UK, usually some of there releases like 'Terror Train' they come out really quick (and Terror Train was a crap DVD), whilst 'Trick or Treat' has been on the future list forever, so hopefully this means they are spending alot of time and money on it to release a good special edition (like they are with the Phantasm pack), because the film deserves it!

I'd love a special edition DVD on it. I'd love to see the widescreen print and a commentary from the director.

I bought the bare bones DVD and I liked the movie. But do I think there will be a Special Edition? Highly, highly doubtful. Even with so-called bad movies, there usually has to be at least a considerable cult audience to build up for a film to be given that treatment (i.e.: "Showgirls"). I'm not even sure if any of the makers of the film want to be associated with it. I know Gene Simmons and Ozzy Osbourne admitted that they thought the movie was horrible. But then again, there's always the benefit of the doubt. If they do release a Special Edition, that would be cool, since it is an enjoyable film (to me, at least) and there are much worse films out there that are still given the 5-star treatment, as far as DVDs are concerned.

Anchor Bay has always been known for releasing Special Edition's of lesser known films many times before. I always think that they do that as fans of the films themselves as much as for business.

They screwed up!
They should have put more effort in to this release. There are no extras on the disk at all. This is a film that a lot of people like. I bet they sold a million of these already.

WHAT I'D LIKE TO KNOW IS IF PLATINUM IS TRANSFERRING THEIR MOVIES OFF OF VHS TAPES?I MEAN THEIR ARTWORK EVEN LOOKS LIKE BOOTLEGS.

reply

There is no longer a special edition DVD, Anchor Bay had to drop it, complications with rights to the soundtrack. How annoying!?

Copyright problems are living testimony to the fact that human ego doesn't work for free! To whomever held this DVD up I say...FVCK YOU!!! Only a complete DUMBASS would put a stop to a potentially BEST SELLING DVD and ruin their chances of making millions! What IDIOTS!
