Wow, way to pull out the stops on the extras there guys.

Funny how there's a mention of the audio being re-mastered, but nothing on the video which is actually in need of it based on the original release.

Guess all of Warner's budget went into making the insanely indepth Blade Runner set.

Dissapointing release. I hope the documentary is about the making of the film and not poltergeists in general. Otherwise it's an even more dissapointing release.

Based on the description, I'm going to bet on the latter. Very disappointing.

While this is a definite buy for me, I too am disappointed in the lack of extras.  You'd think a 25th anniversary edition of anything would include so much more.

I'm guessing no extras are included on the Twlight Zone: The Movie dvd because no one wants to address the tragedy that occured.  Maybe in the case of Poltergeist, no one wants to address the untimely deaths of two of the film's stars or any of that "the production was cursed" nonsense.  Still, a Laurent Bouzereau type would've done a more than respectable number on both of these.

Such a classic. Such a disappointment. Guess we will wait for the 26th, 28th, 30th and 50th Anniversary Editions before we get to the goods...

Always a great cover/poster, though! Classic.

That case looks a bit more substantinal that just an Amary or snapper.
Maybe a vinyl wrap or slipcase?

I did some research and it seems there might be a worthwile Poltergeist edition out there. I will have to track it down.

"A six disc prototype, from the abandoned 20th Anniversary Special Edition, surfaced on Ebay a few years ago and still crops up from time to time. Special features included the The First Real Ghost Story and The Making of Poltergeist featurettes, screenplay, several photo galleries and Fangoria interviews, and the documentaries E! True Hollywood Story, Hollywood Ghost Stories and Terror in The Aisles. The 6th disc was a copy of the original motion picture soundtrack by Jerry Goldsmith."

You're right, there's practically none. On the back art of "The Twilight Zone: The Movie", it touts having a remastered picture and 5.1 surround, but the only special feature listed is the theatrical trailer. So yeah, Warners really screwed the pooch with their "Poltergeist" and "Twilight Zone" releases.

The best haunted house film of all time. It's about time this got the Special Edition treatment.
I have the MGM/UA S.E. CAV Laserdisc Edition from the early 90's & there wasn't too many special features on that except a very creepy international trailer that I hope will be on this DVD release, a U.S. trailer that isn't scary at all & the usual 20 minute studio making of (boring!).
Either way this is a definite improvement from the c**p original WB release.

oh well, it may not be much, but this is the best release so far. i will pick it up since its my favorite horror movie.

Wow what a huge let down! I saw this and got instantly exited, this is a great movie, but its a joke to call this DVD any sort of "edition" seeing as it only has one lame special feature. My region 2 snap case won't be replaced anytime soon!

At least they could have given us DTS track.  Really think the movie call for it.

is this the final details?  cuz i remmeber when the news surfaced a few months ago that an anniversary edition was indeed coming, they said it was a 2 disc , and this was from the WB people on some video message board thingy saying this.

but i never bought this and its a cheap price so i'll be sad and get this anyway..lol   least its the original cover and font, thats a plus for me...

oh and that Documentary....i remmeber fangoria or something mentioning they filmed new interviews with jobeth williams and craig t. nelson...so while it probably will focus more on the real stuff...it'll probably still have some movie talk in there

other sites are reporting that there's a making of featurette also included....sure its just ONE extra thing but least its something..lol

Warner really dropped the ball on this 1.

with all the talk im seeing about a lot of stuff promised but not being here........i wonder if maybe they'll release some sorta trilogy box set and then the movie will be a proper special edition....think thats possible or just wishful thinking?  lol
