Re: Horror Fans: Is DON'T BE AFRAID OF THE DARK (1973) on DVD?
They just announced six but all Best Buy only titles.
There are rumors going around that more horror titles are going to be BB deals so perhaps Warner could make a set of TV horrors.

Re: Horror Fans: Is DON'T BE AFRAID OF THE DARK (1973) on DVD?
Just announced: Guillermo del Toro will produce a remake of ABC's 1973 telefilm DON'T BE AFRAID OF THE DARK for Miramax. Guillermo will adapt Nigel McKeand's teleplay alongside Matthew Robbins. Robbins worked on MIMIC with del Torro, and co-wrote and directed DRAGONSLAYER.
DON'T BE AFRAID OF THE DARK will be directed by comic artist Troy Nixey.

Re: Horror Fans: Is DON'T BE AFRAID OF THE DARK (1973) on DVD?
First of all, this is tremendous news! Can you imagine what
Guillermo del Toro can do with this remake?
Secondly, this explains the delay in Warner releasing this to DVD.
I would think that they are going to time the original 1973 telefilm
with the theatrical remake release.
My guess is, pending how long it takes to make this new film, we
may be waiting at least another year or two for the 1973 telefilm
release to DVD.
....of course, all this is pure speculation based on how the studios
usually market their releases.

Re: Horror Fans: Is DON'T BE AFRAID OF THE DARK (1973) on DVD?
Ronald, I totally agree that this is most excellent news! I have very fond memories (nightmares!!!) of this film from when I was young and I have not seen it since I was a child in the 70's. I have avoided watching it on YouTube. I really look forward to del Torro's re-imagining and hope to one day revisit the original on DVD.

Re: Horror Fans: Is DON'T BE AFRAID OF THE DARK (1973) on DVD?
Thats good to hear that he is attached to the remake, but if theyre going to time the original dvd with this thats terrible, only because the remake could be at least a year before it comes out, if not more.I hope this isnt the case, we have waited forever as it is.

Re: Horror Fans: Is DON'T BE AFRAID OF THE DARK (1973) on DVD?
The sad thing is that even if this gets released, there are so many excellent horror tv-movies that will never get a release. The amazing thing is if anyone even puts out flawed copies of it, the studio will jump down their throat legally. Then they'll bury it forever. In effect, they are fighting not to release the movie on dvd. Sometimes I think copyrights are the worst thing ever invented.

Re: Horror Fans: Is DON'T BE AFRAID OF THE DARK (1973) on DVD?
According to imdb, the remake doesnt get released till 2011 !!!!!!!!!!!!! I cant believe Warner is going to make us wait till then, for a dvd of the original.
