Best DVD issue + anyone got the region 1?
Love this film to death – it’s responsible for more childhood nightmares than any other, & even though I was born only a month after it was initially released & am now pushing 40, it still scares the bejesus out of me!
Recently decided to pick it up on DVD after looking at comparisons here: http://tinyurl.com/32blsy
As you’ll see, there’s no one ‘definitive’ release that includes all available extras, so in the end, I plumped for the German issue for its anamorphic picture & great booklet, etc.
Disregarding the Sci-Fi episode from the World of Hammer TV series (it'’s only a budget clip show; see the amazon customer review here: http://tinyurl.com/33bg2v), the only other extra I’m missing is the Roy Ward Baker director’s commentary from the US Anchor Bay edition. I considered buying twice, but the Anchor Bay is now deleted & exorbitantly priced.
Any fellow fans care to copy me a DVD-R of the film side of the disc, including said commentary? I'’d be happy to pay, of course, or could swap for other cult DVDs or DVD-Rs.
