Holy crap! If it wasn't "Invaders From Mars", I'd say no way!

[Monsters For Sale]

I had completely given up on Invaders From Mars because I had heard that all the original elements had been damaged in a fire or flood (forget which) and it just would not be possible to do any better than the DVD.

I love this film.  I first saw it on TV and was creeped out when it ended the way it all began.

On TV the zippers and bobbing balloons were not as evident -  and I was much younger.


Been on my wish list for decades.  I HAVE to buy a copy.

That creepy choral music scared the pants off of my when I was a kid!

[Monsters For Sale]

I haven't been as jazzed by a BLU-Ray announcement since we got The Monster of Piedras Blancas.

I'll gladly pay the premium to encourage Ignite Films to bring us more such offerings.

Why does it say SOLD OUT, when they haven't even started taking pre-orders, yet?

That is just their way of indicating that they have no items for sale - yet.

That will go away in 5 hours and 40 minutes and 48 seconds.  (I set my timer to match their countdown clock.)

I pre-ordered my 4K copy.

It was $69.00 total.  They did not charge me sales tax.

I love Invaders from Mars, but I can't justify that price tag. Hopefully they or someone does a stand alone blu ray for it that's a little cheaper.

I tried to order, but they declined my credit card. No problems at the other places I used it, today.

Hmmm.

Anyone else have a problem with their site?

Not true! It was my bank. Flagged it as possible fraud. They called this morning. I told them to let it go through.

The approving entity couldn't believe anyone would pay that much for "Invaders From Mars", I guess.

Well, a minor delay.  It's good that the banks keep a watchful eye.  They saved me lots of money by identifying some expensive fraudulent charges for sports tickets, notifying me and remove them from my bill.


I wish Ignite Films had a countdown on the 1,000 units.  It would be interesting to see how fast/slowly the movie is selling.
