Gimmig!... because Bluray is here!!
The Ring one is the best, IMO. Freakin creepy.
Jason's mask on the first Friday cover? Looks a little cool, but makes no sense at all..
The most pointless double-dips in recent memory, at least the RRPs are cheap.
Gyllenhaal looks weird on that Zodiac cover. I can't figure out what it is, but something seems off.
The only "new" cover its red eye(kinda cool), all the others are pretty much the same already released.
Oooooooh!
Mostly mediocre movies (in Standard Definition) with lenticular covers!
Gimme a break.
Please, people. Do not allow this kind of marketing BS to make you Double Dip.
Please. Do not encourage them. Resist. I beg you.

I don't own What Lies Beneath or Sleepy Hollow yet. I might pick them up to see if they hold up since 8th Grade.
Stupid Paramount, just release Zodiac on blu-ray already!

The Ring, Red Eye, Friday the 13th, and What Lies Beneath, how 'bout it?
I specially want to see The Ring (2003) on Blu-ray!
p.s Sleepy Hollow gets the BEST lenticular cover! The Ring ones are horrible, why add Samara to it? The theatrical poster is much better for the lenticular.

Wish they'd stop with this lenticular c**p and release these films on Blu already, well Zodiac anyway, the rest apart from Sleepy Hollow are bad.
Complete waste on time, money, and if you actually buy them, resources.
Definition of stupid: making the lenticular cover of the first "Friday the 13th" movie the hockey mask.
By the way, they most likely will release a newer version of this on DVD/Blu-ray when the "reboot/remake" is released.
Nice work by Paramount marketing.

Ain't that the truth. Jason with a mask??
His mom is the killer in the first movie. What the hell. LOL.

We need these on Blu!
why don't they spend more time on trying to release some old catalogue titles onto DVD. for instance Ridley Scott's film 1492: Conquest Of Paradise is not on DVD in the USA yet by them. fail to see why lenticular covers are more important to them than a movie about Christopher Columbus.
Paramount has pretty much stopped releasing classic films new to DVD. They just rely on double/triple/quadruple dipping.
Stubby don't play that game

I agree. All of the major studios have back catalog titles that have either never had an offical R1 release, been released at all on DVD, or no R1 special edition. I would prefer they put their efforts on releasing those instead of milking the same cows over and over and over again.

Yes, lets put the cool covers on the cheap double/triple dip DVDs.
I like the Sleepy Hollow cover a lot.The ouline of the headless horseman one.
Definitely a BS marketing scheme if I ever saw one though.

could also use the efforts towards a mainsteam Iron Man steelbook instead of this. instead we have to go buy it at FYE.
packaging wise, i'd rather buy that.

too bad it's not steelbook DVD's that would of been to cool... oh well will probaly double dip on Sleepy Hollow and Zodiac.
when you really think about it, the Friday the 13th cover kind of makes sense. its being released in the precurser of the remake and its almost impossible to market anything thats Friday the 13th related without exploiting what made Jason famous: his hockey mask.

You make a good point...I'd forgotten about the pending remake. So, we all know what that means: they will probably reissue the original first movie AGAIN (hopefully a proper SE) slightly bfore the remake is released, I believe on 2/13/09. Hell, maybe they'll release the whole series again.
While I'm here, does anyone know if these are simply new lenticular slip sleeves over the existing releases?

Most people if they wanted these would have them by now - why waste time and go the Blu instead?

I would say some of them look pretty stupid (the ring), but you really can't judge these things until you see them in person.
