I very much cannot wait for this. It is my favorite sequel of all time and having it on Blu makes it all the better!

I know years ago a buddy of mine claimed to have a totally uncut and nice looking work-print of H2, but I could never confirm this for myself. I would have to assume in the age of the internet if such a thing existed it would have made the rounds though.

yeah I am hoping the same, Suspiria! Let's just hope that'll happen but with it being Universal I doubt it.

I''m hoping that someday they will release it uncut with all of the kill scenes intact.

I'm buying this but am not happy with it being the theatrical version. Can't wait 2 hear it in DTS 5.1 though.

this does sound pretty sweet. I assume they're including the alternate TV ending which I haven't seen in some time. Actually the TV version contains a lot of added and changed little sequences including some snipped gore and variations on a couple kills - wonder if they'll include any of that stuff as well.
and it's nice to see Terror In The Aisles finally get a proper digital release, it's about time.

Sounds cool. 2.39:1 sounds weird, ah well. But no commentary(s)? I wonder if they are going to do the 'Anniversary Edition' then 'Special Edition' and then 'Mind-blowing Edition' tricks they did with DVDs as they transfer over to Blu-ray?

I can't wait for "Halloween 3's" 'Something Edition!'

Thanks for the info. I'll probably pass for now to see if they release a 'Slightly Better Than Last Time Version' first.

Can't wait for this. No, it's not the Rosenthal version but the best we can get I guess. Thoughts/Opinions?
