True enough. The TT model does create an artificial demand. Still, I reckon films like this would still do pretty good business if released in an unlimited form for customers.

Looks like it'll be gone tonight. Around 80 copies left...

SOLD OUT! Looks like a record for Twilight Time (Cue the people convinced this will come out somewhere else, or that it would sell thousands more if it wasn't Limited, even though that's the exact reason it's sold so many copies). Glad I got a copy. Now, bring on The Blob '88!

The thing is, it is bound to come out somewhere else eventually (even if it takes 3 years in the states) but this will probably see a European release before the end of the year.

Some of the other TT releases are now being put out in Germany

This particular film has too much of a following not to be released anywhere else

That's the thing. You can't say for sure that they will, and I can't say they won't, but you'd think something like Fright Night (which sold out) would be higher up on the list for release somewhere else than The Blue Lagoon. So until then, i'll snap up all I can.

Exactly. Sony have had ample time to release it ouside the US after the TT disc sold out. They haven't. So now, I have a lovely looking Fright Night BD siting on my shelf while others sit Fright Night'less and convince themselves that It will definitely get another release.

I don't think Fright Night has the following that Christine has though

The only TT title I may be interested in is Hard Times as it's probably less likely to see another release elsewhere.

Christine I thought was ok but not a must have title, if it had been on sale for a tenner I may have picked it up but I'm just as happy to wait and if it doesn't go cheap elsewhere it's no big loss to me.

As for Fright Night, call it sacrilege, but I preferred the remake

I suppose it ultimately depends on how much you need to own the particular film.

Now if TT were selling pre-orders of The Atlantis Interceptors I would stay up all night to ensure I got my order in on time.

I'm wondering do all those people who bought the Twilight Time releases get some some hand gel to touch them selves over the package, some kind of medal and a T-Shirt boasting about how great they are because they own a TT release?
Daemonia and dream demon like this.
