CREEPSHOW (1982, Stephen King, George A. Romero)

[Roughale]

Another great film by George Romero! I loved it when I saw it at a local cinema in Berlin and then had to read in a magazine article that they had cut out the complete sequence of Something To Tide You Over for the German version - not neccessarily for censorship reasons, more on length issues - not that this made the news any better to me... Look at what date the film came out and realize that the internet as it is now was still pretty far away and video ordering from the UK was pretty expensive, especially considering the very low budget I had to shift around each day back then... But then came one lucky day while I was on a vacation in London and found the VHS at the Notting Hill Gate Record & Tape Exchange - a good address for me and wonderfully stocked (a return there a couple of years ago showed me that a lot has changed since then, but this is now the area I stay when I am in London - but I digress...)... So anyway, I found the VHS and it was only 2 quid and I had my Life of Brian moment, going "what's wrong with this tape?". When I went to pay for it, the seller must have noticed my moment and my happiness and let me have it for only 1,50! Good memories and I must have watched the VHS to death... Naturally I have several DVD editions of it, just read of the good BD transfer and lust for it now - Why not give this one the Arrow BD treatment? That would be a dream come true - another one in fact

I still have that cinema commercial picture of Stephen King as Jody Verell munchin popcorn hanging on my wardrobe, a kind soul at the cinema I watched it at originally kept it for me when the film was through... Now it only needs a signature, so Steve, get your meteroid-moss covered ass over to Hamburg, alright?

Edit: I just could not resist and ordered the region-free US BD... I still stand to my Word: I will still buy an Arrow Films BD if it comes to pass...

Creepshow was released as an excellent 2-DVD SE in the UK by Universal, I very much doubt Arrow could release it over here.

True, I have that too somewhere, but still, I'd buy it

I know it's been released on blu-ray in America by Warner but I'm surprised Universal hasn't released a blu version here.

It's region free anyway mate.

True but it would still be nice to see the special edition on blu.
