Why does the listing for the ammray say 2D included? Or is that also a mistake

It's just a typo error in the listing it should say DVD included

Zavvi and Eureka having typo error day both of them have made mistakes

Thought as much

Maybe they got confused with the remake - wasn't that 3D?

 

[Noodles]

Good to see Eureka have finally acknowledged its existence.

FRIGHT NIGHT will also be released in a Limited Edition Dual-Format SteelBook on 26 December 2017 as an exclusive to ZAVVI. Once announced by the online store, the SteelBook reportedly SOLD OUT in a matter of hours, making it the FASTEST SELLING Eureka release EVER!

Hmmmm......clever wording, reportedly.......

So it was 2000, not 1000 (I asked on FB).

Don't believe this won't be back in stock. Keeping my eyes peeled!

 

[spookz]

Of course it will..... look at The Burning!!!

Watched the German BD of Fright Night and man, what a great film. Love both the original and remake, it's rare I say that. But nowadays this would be rated 15.

Still, it was a bit of a shocker the way buyers pounced on THE BURNING and FRIGHT NIGHT - titles from studios that had never before experienced such a rush on their steelbooks that's for sure (Arrow included).

FRIGHT NIGHT, being Eureka's first non-numbered spine Masters of Cinema release not sure where to place the Amaray on the shelves as it's not part of the MOC and neither is it part of the Eureka Classics collection (or if it is one of the Classics range the design has changed).
(Other equally interesting Eureka Classics titles in Amarays unclude RAPTURE, THE TOWN THAT DREADED SUNDOWN, BLACULA, GANJA & HESS, VIOLENT SATURDAY, THE OTHER, THE WAR LORD etc.) So From this
The headers on the wraparound data sheets on the Classics look like this

but I guess that style has unfortunately been discontinued in favour of a plainer front.
To this

So you think it's a non-numbered Masters of Cinema release that's not a Masters of Cinema release?

Eureka haven't changed the packaging style for either the MoC or Eureka Classics lines, and have released a number of titles that are not part of either range. You surely don't think that 'Wild Orchid' belongs in either the MoC or Eureka Classic catalogue?

 

[virkia]

No, you misunderstand.
Certainly not one of the MOC range as no numbered spine and listed as one of the Classics collection despite the different (new?) designed Classics front:-

"Fright Night Blu-ray

Eureka Classics | Dual Format Edition / Blu-ray + DVD Eureka Entertainment"

. . . hence my post.

Seems to fit in with these of similar layout - THE SKULL, ROBINSON CRUSOE ON MARS, ENEMY MINE, COCOON, STIGMATA, THE MAN WHO COULD CHEAT DEATH, ALOYS, METROPOLIS 2001, WOLF CREEK: THE COMPLETE FIRST SERIES, JINNAH, TWILIGHT'S LAST GLEAMING and others . . . or in other words NOT one of the Eureka classics (?)

EDIT 2/12/16:-
ENEMY MINE next one announced for the steelbook treatment after METROPOLIS 2001.

Nope, still don't understand what you're trying to say, but I would definitely agree that 'Twilight's Last Gleaming' (Masters of Cinema #152) is NOT one of the Eureka Classics.

 

[virkia]

Initially 'twas a rhetorical question, I suppose, of little relevance to the steelbook of this thread but just to confirm what I was on about - the question was, "Where do I place the Amaray on my shelves?" considering it's not an MOC and not a Eureka Classic. I reckon I'll just file it in the Horror section and that'll be that.
Yes, about TLG, haven't bought that yet hence error above.

 

[Finn]

All my cases are stored alphabetically. Otherwise how do you find anything? I'd categorise Fright Night as a 'Vampire' film, not a horror, which is too generic. There are more than enough vampire films to create a 'vampire' section, like there are more than enough zombie films for a 'zombie' section.

Is there a thread for 'how do you order your steelbooks?'

 

[Last Lizard]

The standard edition isn't exclusive to Zavvi as well is it?

Strange, Zavvi are the only ones to have this listed. Although I suspect Amazon/HMV will have their listing up soon.

 

[paulboland]

No it will be available from all retailers

Does anyone knows if this is region B locked or Region free?
