I've actually got the ORIGINAL DVD that dates back to about 1999 or so. It had a widescreen version on one side and the cropped "pan-and-scam" version on the flipside. I know it was released again on DVD a few years back.

That looked ok an the old 27" Zenith. Unfortunately as TVs got bigger, it wasn't cutting it anymore. The BD is great but I regret that regular folks have such limited access to it.

I agree, the original Fright Night is one of my absolute favourite horror films. Endlessly charming and fun. It would've been nice to get a proper release of the film, instead of the bare bones DVD they have out now.

hey sorry but can u tell me how to post my own thing plz?

Do you mean post an image?

If it's a existing image such as something on amazon or a website, you must copy the "image url". You can generally do this by right clicking over the image and you''ll see "copy image url" as a menu choice. If you want to post a personal image (like your own photo) you need to have that hosted to a site like photobucket.

If it's on a site like photobucket, you can copy and paste the "image code" directly into the body of a message.

If you have only the image url (like when you get an amazon image). You must use the following format. Type "[img]" and then paste in the image url. At the end of the image url, type "[/img]". Don't actually type the quotation marks. That will cause the image url to display as an image.

Use the preview function to see if the image appears. If it appears in the preview, it will appear when posted.

The original FRIGHT NIGHT is personal favorite largely because a TV horror movie host plays such a pivotal role. I'm just old enough to remember the end of the age of the goofy, late night horror host (not the modern, campy Elvira style).

Unfortunately, Sony decided not to release this Blu-ray themselves. Instead, they licensed the title to Twilight Time who sold it only through the Screen Archives website. And only 3,000 copies were produced. I'm not at all happy with that method of doing things. I think movie fans should just be able to buy movies when they are available. Buying limited editions online isn't in the proper spirit of movie fandom. It should be about the movie and not the collectibility.

The movie has a first class transfer and most of the reviews on the 'net are excellent. Film preservationist Robert Harris calls it "perfect" although that might contain some hyperbole. The best thing about this transfer is that it's unmolested by digital manipulation. It looks like a proper film. It has a 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack and an isolated score. The only extras are a couple of trailers. The accepted story is that the Sony licensing agreement precluded any further extras.

I had pre-ordered this title. When attempting to order from Canada, you get a scary warning saying that unregistered packages that go missing won't be replaced. Unfortunately, registering the mail costs about $15.00 and I wasn't going to spend that much for a 4 ounce package. I took my chances on cheap first class mail. I admit, I was getting worried...my shipping notice arrived 13 days ago and I was sweating. But the disc arrived today.

Tonight, the title is reported as sold-out.
