The Evil Dead: Cabin Set Edition (10.5.05)
Anchor Bay had a question and answer session at Horrorfind on Saturday
and the representative for the company happened to mention that AB will
be releasing another version of The Evil Dead to DVD... thought you guys
would be interested to hear that before it is officially announced (which
it hasn't been, to my knowledge). On the brighter side, this "cabin
set" (as he called it) will include both widescreen AND fullscreen
versions, and a host of new extras; including a documentary that the Ladies
of the Evil Dead (Betsy Baker, Sarah York, Ellen Sandweiss) are working
on. I know most of you are probably groaning at the thought of another
release of The Evil Dead, but it seems this could be the definitive release...
that is, if they also include all the stuff from the previous DVDs..
Anchor Bay are also releasing on Sept 19th 'Box of the Banned - The ultimate
collection of video nasties', a six disc set including:
I Spit On Your
Grave
Zombie Flesh Eaters
The Driller Killer
The Evil Dead
The
Last House On The Left
Nightmares In A Damaged Brain
plus the
documentaries 'Ban The Sadist Videos' & 'Fear, Panic & Censorship'
The Evil Dead Book of the Dead edition has also just been re-released in
the UK and this time includes the movie Running Time as an extra.
