I don’t know why they wasted disc space putting the fullscreen version on there. No extra picture top and bottom as some full screen versions are, just cropped at the sides so there’s less than the widescreen version.

Mate, that’s even worse! Was Irma Vep in the world cinema section? Because I’m sure you picked that up, as I was there too [emoji23]


And Dark Blue was the other one I had in my hand.

It was! :lol:

Dark Blue-that's the one I forgot about! :rolleyes:

So you'd have been mugged twice!

Watched Unhinged from 88 and that randomly has a fullscreen version on there, no idea why.
Started the commentary to Nightmares, very good.

Ach, I still watch the 4:3 Evil Dead at times ... so they are selling points for some :lol:;)

Yeah, but Evil Dead was filmed in 4:3, the 4:3 Nightmares is just the widescreen version with the sides cut off. A completely pointless waste of disc space :)

Impessive package for such a small film,here's hoping it's a sign of things to come!

Couldn't resist the temptation-no sign or notification of shipping from 101 direct....:rolleyes:

Did it come with the poster? And, do 101 usually send out shipping notifications? I pre ordered this a while ago.

I think the cropped versions are purely for the VHS nostalgia - ists who want to experience the films as they first saw them.
In a square display 80's display format.

I received this message yesterday regarding my pre-order:


Dear Mark Meakin,
There has been a slight delay with the Nightmares disc availability, which has led to a slight delay. Your order will be posted out this week please accept our apologies for this.

Yet people are picking it up in stores like HMV:confused:.Rather disappointing for pre-order customers unless it's an issue with the poster ?.

BTW does anybody know yet whether Sssssnake was cut on the Blu-ray/DVD combo or not ?.
