.....and the über-creepy foam packaging for Anchor Bay's Evil Dead 2: Book of the Dead 2 (due 9/7 and hand-crafted by Tom Sullivan himself - we have it on good authority that the book screams when you poke it in the eye!)...

Haha perhaps there should be a sign posted "beware" before anyone entering this forum

It's a nice set & will surely compliment your first Book of the Dead

only a few local collectors have purchased the first set.. so with that, it may be safe to say that i am referring/posting to the benefit of the greater good.

no spectacular news. it's just a simple bundling of the OOP set and the new one. i wonder how many of these sets will be produced.

I see, however, there is no news yet if the bundled OOP (Evil Dead1) was real deal? or just another re-release version?

hemisphere · « **Reply #12 on:** Nov 06, 2005 at 02:17 AM »

it's a re-released version i guess. same old repro of the OOP version.

havent seen any official news re this.

footnotes:

* Contrary to early information that there were "5" variations of the 1999 Anchorbay Released, it seems that there were only four "4" (enough to spell E-V-I-L at its spine# ). The set stir a lot of confusion at ebay as the stock photo made available was not even the same cover/art.

** The two released lunchboxes were always been mistaken as the same, but its NOT (One has a DVD in it, the other has a Thermos).

*** Please be aware that the sought after OOP release/version of the "Boomstick Edition" is the one with the "Limited Collectible 8 page Booklet" entitled Join the Army

Thanks...

Just an info, if you wanted the best out of Army Of Darkness.. go get teh MGM R3 release. Its has the best PQ and AQ if compared with R1 Army of Darkness.

But if you wish for a Region 1 release, the only version available at market is the Universal Studio's Release Army of Darkness.

Just when I thought THE EVIL DEAD DVD releases has died down with their Book of the Dead Limited Edition, came this THE ULTIMATE EDITION and it's coming on December 18, 2007. No information yet but you can go to this link:http://dvdempire.com/Exec/v4_item.asp?userid=99366003235114&item_id=1372671&searchID=. According to dvdempire.com, it's a 3-disc edition and that makes me wonder if they will now include the 'Within The Woods' short film in this (ultimate) edition? I'm already looking forward to this.

The DVD cover looks like a folded movie poster though. Maybe, just a sample on what will be the actual cover. I actually like that poster of the woman struggling to get off the ground with a hand around her neck. I have that one in my bedroom.

Mr. Hankey · « **Reply #22 on:** Oct 18, 2007 at 11:06 AM »

Ugh, not another one. I already bought the initial jewel case release, then the Book of the Dead edition. Don't see a need for a triple dip.

Anchor Bay really loves re-releasing its limited catalog to death.

Another Evil Dead DVD out there (actually 3mins and 25secs of Evil Dead Footage)

Starz/Anchorbay Scream Fest (An FYE/TWEC Exclusive DVD Sample)
