I picked up my copy this past wekend at BB, it was less than $5 and I had a Rewards Card certificate for $5, so I got it for free.<BR/><BR/>I am in the middle of watching it now. I thought Igor looked more like a young, but no less ugly, Charles Bronson.<BR/><BR/>The paddleball guy and the dancers cracked me up. I wish they would release the 3-D versions of these films as an extra. It can't be that hard to do.<BR/><BR/>I did get to see the credits in 3D tonight, though. I have a pair of the "Valiant Vision" glasses that were made for certain Valiant comics about a dezen years ago. The cool colors stay in the background and the hot colors come out at you. The credit were like that and the glasses worked beautifully for just that scene.Frederickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11868719487717506764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110147752122772426.post-60423834857906069022007-08-22T10:23:00.000-07:002007-08-22T10:23:00.000-07:00Well it's not REALLY a TT remake, but it certainly...Well it's not REALLY a TT remake, but it certainly has more in common with TT than House of Wax.

Speaking of Tourist Trap, I rented that movie not too long ago, and while I found it creepy, it just wasn't as scary as I remembered it when I saw it only a few years prior, and I never knew the HOW remake was a TT remake, how odd.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14895987205247202904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110147752122772426.post-15904261926442051482007-08-22T08:20:00.000-07:002007-08-22T08:20:00.000-07:00That's probably today's movie actually!I love the ...That's probably today's movie actually!<BR/><BR/>I love the 2005 one too.

I think WB only did one other dvd release like this, of the 1931 and 1941 versions of <I>Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde</I>, the first being the oscar-winning turn by Frederich March, the second being the not-as-oscar-worthy turn by Spencer Tracy. But still, one hell of a DVD--you get to see not only the groundbreaking transformation of March into Hyde, but also Tracy in a dream sequence with Ingrid Bergman and Lana Turner harnessed to his chariot, whipping them like horses. Heady stuff.<BR/><BR/>And I'm one of the few people I know who really, really enjoyed the Dark Castle <I>House of Wax</I>.<BR/><BR/>So are you gonna review <I>Mysteries</I> too?The Vicar of VHShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06832137990485130735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110147752122772426.post-54862434066306043022007-08-22T02:08:00.000-07:002007-08-22T02:08:00.000-07:00I've seen both of those before... great stuff.

I'd recommend Umberto Lenzi's Cannibal Ferox and Ruggero Deodato's Cannibal Holocaust to get going.... I think they'd classify as horror!<BR/><BR/>Unconnected to these in almost every way (apart from the Italy reference), last nightI was also thinking of Nicholas Roeg's Don't Look Now (Donald Sutherland and Julie Christie in a creepy Venice), which scared the shit out of me when I was a kid and is still quite a powerful movie today.pot head pixiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04043225264662244387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110147752122772426.post-62750408718713573462007-08-22T01:59:00.000-07:002007-08-22T01:59:00.000-07:00Sergio Stivaleti - he of the special fx fame in vi...Sergio Stivaleti - he of the special fx fame in virtually all of Argento's movies - directed a remake of this in 1997, which was co-written by Argento and Fulci.

But the cool thing was we actually got to watch it in 3-D. So, like you, a year or so ago I found it for 7 bucks around Halloween somewhere, and decided to grab it having such fond memories of that experience as a kid. Well, some movies are just better when you're younger. Still not a bad film, but it does show its age a bit.<BR/><BR/>Also, I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought the 2005 version was more a remake of Tourist Trap than this. Of course most people don't even know what Tourist Trap is (Which is a shame), so I guess I'm not suprised. Of course most people probably didn't know they were watching a remake of anything for that matter.Jonathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09548468568645800735noreply@blogger.com
