    Night of the Comet on DVD released today

    Did anyone pick this up? This release snuck up on me. Someone drop some details on me if you did.

    According to some reviews of the disc on Amazon, it's a bare bones release. You get the widescreen version(this guy says it's the first time ever) and 2.0 sound. That's about it from what I can tell....

    The divx rip from VHS has an alternate TV ending. I think there is a DVD with a special cable TV edit included.
    DVD release. Cool
    Bare Bones. Sucks!!!
    This movie rocks. Its one of the better zombieish flick and a real good example of the better 80s horror film.

    I haven't seen it but I can't imagine it being worse than "Return".

    Are you sure you aren't talking about Night of the Creeps?

    If you haven't seen this, you should. It's an armageddon film, 80's style.

    No, Creeps is not even on the horizon for a release, but an HD version is on MonstersHD and it looks very nice.

    What does that mean? Have you never seen this? Pffft some zombie fan you are.

    I'd get this DVD but if it doesn't have any special features I'll just stick with my original VHS copy. I'm hoping this means they'll eventually release one with bonus material.

    Barebones? Try this: Widescreen feature (not an extra), 2.0 Dolby sound (not an extra), English subtitles (not an extra), Chapter Select (not an extra), and trailer (just one lousy extra). I have been wanting to get this movie on dvd for YEARS and this is the best they can do? Hmm, I'll wait for Anchor Bay or someone to pick it up and give it the treatment it deserves.

    I saw it at Best Buy for 12.99 and had to pass it up. That is too much to charge for a single layer, bare bones release. I'll wait for it to hit the bargain bin.

    Thank you for posting this! For a time, as a kid, this was my favorite cheesy movie. I know I will be picking it up soon.

    Odd, that I was just thinking about this film the other day...
