Just got REAL chilly in Hell.

The first inkling of this release is simply an Amazon pre-order?
Is it the long version?
Have high quality elements for the lost footage been found?
Will this be a hybrid version with both original and lesser elements?

When will these questions be answered? I need to know before I order.

Will this be a hybrid version with both original and lesser elements?

If better elements simply do not exist, I really hope they go this route. Their "perfection or nothing at all" policy is limiting what they can or will put out.

Another holy grail off my list!

I don't need to know and I'm pretty confident that most around here feel the same way. We've been waiting on this title for a BD release for a very long time.

I have to say that 2018 has turned out to be one of the best, if not the best for me personally, home video-wise. Several of my favorite films have finally made it to Blu-ray.

I ordered it.

 

[Matt Hough]

What a delightful surprise! Can't wait to add this to my collection.

 

[ahollis]

Ordered immediately when I saw the link. A holly grail for me.

I feel bad for all you guys who jumped on the HD download that came out recently.

You don't have to rub it in! I didn't buy that HD download, but I feel their pain.

Somebody is messing with me. The Cyclops and The Satanic Rites of Dracula, and now The Thing from Another World ? Fantastic if true.

Warner Archive, this needs one very specific bonus feature, ...... commentary by John Carpenter !


Pre-ordered !!!

Warner Archive, this needs on very specific bonus feature, ...... commentary by John Carpenter !

If there was going to be a commentary, he'll be the one that I'll choose to do it. He loves this film and has closely studied it since film school.

 

[Camper]

The Amazon link shows the runtime as 87 minutes (the longer cut.)

Whether that is accurate is another matter.

 

[dana martin]

i have seen the interviews, he has modeled his directing style after Hawks, very workman like, his is also very familiar with Campbell's Who Goes There?

I know the UK DVD 2 disc set had his commentary,

Just got REAL chilly in Hell.

As in "It will be a cold day in the arctic before the original Thing gets a Blu-ray release." --?
