Best DVD Edition of White Zombie?
« on: June 24, 2012, 02:42:37 PM »
I have the copy put out by Roan with the audio commentary. I picked this up in 2005 and at the time it was considered to be THE DVD version but have any better updates come out since then? The DVD case Amazon currently shows that it says is the edition I own isn't the case I have. Thanks!

It may have new cover art, but as far as I know, it's the same DVD and the best WZ disc out there.

This must be the one you have.



I like the newer cover better.

Yep. I have the top one except that "Rowan Group Archival Entertainment" banner isn't on the top of my edition. I just wasn't sure if this was the case like Phantom of the Opera where there are a few good versions....interesting all the good Phantom versions are by Image. You'd think they'd put them all onto one set....maybe that's what the Blu Ray is?

 The Blu-ray is basically the Image Milestone Edition with another score.

What's "Ot"? Beware of people selling Blu-Ray discs of PD films!

Typo. I meant "It" The bulb blew in here and I'm using a flashlight to see the keyboard. I thought I had lightbulbs but I'm fresh out. These new bulbs blow after 3 weeks or so. The Edison style lasted for YEARS....

     Dude, you're a chaos magnet. Maybe something weird rubbed off on you in that Addams Family house! Were there any weird angles where the walls connected to the ceiling? Did any of those raccoons practice strange rituals? .....just checkin'.....

I have this film on a few different dvds and so far the best one came in a little set called Master's Of Mayhem that I got in a bin while grocery shoping for 5.00. It also has Horror Hotel, The Bat and a few others.

It's the best version of WZ I own and trust me, it could still be cleaned up pretty good. The others I have--the audio is enough to give you an anxiety attack. Absolutely awful.

Well, Hauntedhearse, it has been noted that I may be cursed and in fact when I was 9 years old the Seneca Indians DID put a curse on me but I had bad luck long before that. (A water pipe broke in my wall yesterday morning by the way...) And as a matter of fact the walls and ceilings in my childhood home WERE crooked. The house was made up as they went and it looked it!! My parents put white siding on it so I never saw what it really looked like but one time we had a housefire so I could to see the board walls. It looked just like a haunted house from an old movie.

     The weirdness is happening again, dude. I'm not Haunted Hearse.  ;) :laugh:
     But, strangely, I confused Haunted Hearse with The Headless Hearseman the other day!  :laugh:  I'm the new HH.  ;)
