The Monsters are coming from Lionsgate! When? Nobody knows.
(Posted In Cult DVD News )
As we have discussed here before it was confirmed by Don May JR of Synapse that cult favorite The Monster Squad was hitting DVD this year but couldn't say from whom and exactly when it would be released. It's now been confirmed that Lionsgate are releasing a 20 year anniversary Special Edition but the date has not been made public. Some say in a couple of months other before Halloween the latest.
Fangoria.com reported today that the DVD would be far from barebones, with a brand spanking new 2.35 transfer, unlike the 1.78:1 HD transfer that's been shown on Monsters HD for quite some time. Also a commentary with director Fred Dekker and cast members plus interviews and other featurettes so it looks like it's going to be a nice package.
All I can say is FAN-FUCKING-TASTIC!
Please check Fangoria.com for some more info about this much awaited disc and some news about Night of the Creeps, not so fan fucking tastic news I'm afraid but news that gives us fans a little hope.

Nice.
Too bad about Creeps. I wonder if there is a torrent of the existing HD version captured from TV...hmmm...

They've already confirmed October as the release date. I don't know how you missed that.

Where did you see the October date? The DVD's producer said in the Fangoria article that it was obvious that they would want it out before Halloween but nothing has been confirmed so there is no set date as of yet.
