Dark Night of the Scarecrow is coming...

[Homicide]

I've been reading here & there for a while now that the awesome 70's TV movie Dark Night of the Scarecrow was getting a new restored dvd release. All I keep hearing though is little bits, finished remastering the audio, picture, etc. Anyone else eagerly awaiting this, one of the best of the scarecrow horror sub-genre? Anyone heard any word on a release date?

Yay!!! I get to revive the first thread I ever started, a cult classic the made-for-tv movie Dark Night of the Scarecrow starring Larry Drake (Dr. Giggles and Darkman) is expected to get it's special edition release later this year, likely in the fall!!!

Awesome. I saw this when it was broadcast on network TV as a kid and it scared the shit outta me.

Fuck. YES.

Can't wait. One of the first horror flicks I ever saw. I must have been, oh, 8 or 9. It gave me nightmares, and I loved it!

All signs are pointing toward October!
Glad someone other than myself is psyched for this!!

I love Larry Drake from such great roles as Durrant from Darkman and Dr. Giggles, but I am beginning to think this movie might not live up to the hype. I haven't been able to see it throughout the years due to its availability, but I hear about it every couple years. Now I fear that it might not be as scary as I have heard it its. Does it feel too much like a tv movie?

By the way, does anybody know when the tv movie Don't be Afraid of the Dark is getting rereleased? This is on the block for a remake too.

The official release date is now set at 9/28/10
I know time'll fly by, but dammit I've been waiting years for this flick!!!

[Homicide]

FINALLY!!!!
Dammit it's almost been 2 weeks since the street date and I've been looking everywhere for it since with no luck (I know I should've just preordered it from Amazon), I've even had it on special order at a store here since before it's release with no better luck!
Finally I found it this morning a Barnes and Nobles of all places!
Can't wait to watch it tonight!!

Its next in my Q pretty pumped

[Xander_Kane]

Have not seen it since i was a wee lad. I remeber loving it though

[Homicide]

Finally after years of waiting, I've gotten to watch it and what a treat, a creepy lost treasure!
And what an amazing job they did of restoring it, the picture quality would be something to be proud of with a brand new film let alone a 30 year old made for television flick. And on that note, this film was never intended with surround sound in mind and they've done a remarkable job upgrading it to 5.1, bravo!!

I plan to finally pick this up tonight, on the way home from work . . . can't wait!
