Yes, they've confirmed that. They said:TravisR said:I'm almost positive that Scream said on Facebook that VOH was uncut.
It'd require spending money to license the comic books but I'd like to see the stories that were adapted as a supplement.Brian Kidd said:I just know that this will likely be the only R1 release of these films and it would have been nice to have some quality supplements for them.
The fact that Vault is being presented uncut is enough incentive. The fact that we're getting a double feature is even better. I don't need gore to be satisfied, but if this is the first time the film has been available uncensored, that's a huge milestone.bigshot said:Two features for the price of one isn't a good enough special feature for you?
So they've acquired uncensored elements from either collectors or film archives?Jobla said:Shout will be attempting to splice-in the previously cut footage to VAULT. Fox does not have uncut film elements.
This is better than anything I could have dreamed!Russell G said:Here's some good news, from SCream Factories facebook:
**VAULT OF HORROR Update**
For all of you waiting patiently for our double feature blu-ray release of TALES FROM THE CRYPT / VAULT OF HORROR on 12/2, we have some very good news to report to you on VAULT...
When we found out that the Fox HD master we licensed was the theatrical cut, we went searching for an uncut film element. This was a challenge since the film is over 40 years old and somewhat obscure. At some point we started to accept that that we were going to have to splice DVD footage of the uncut footage (lifted from a prior UK release) into the theatrical cut to be able to present it uncut, as promise when we announced. We tried that and the results were not great. Still, we thought this was the best we were going to be able to get.
Thankfully, there was rumor that the British Film Institute had done a restoration on the film years ago. We contacted them and, sure enough, BFI had done an HD transfer from a film print--and it was the UNCUT version! We quickly had a clone made of their master and then removed dirt and scratches from it to the best of our resources.
The release is now a 2-disc set. The first disc will include TALES and VAULT's uncut widescreen. The 2nd disc will include VAULT's theatrical cut (from the Fox master) and a rare open-matte version of the BFI master.
We thank you for your patience on the delay of this release and hope you will find that our presentation of these films will have been worth the wait!
I guess if Shout says that they now have it, they have it. Also, old information that is no longer accurate may have been deleted to avoid causing confusion.youworkmen said:There seem to be several posts missing from this thread including one that detailed the confirmation that the BFI did indeed have an uncut version available which was posted after Shout initially said the BFI search had proved fruitless.
