Hope this tidbit hasn't already been posted elsewhere on the HTF:
. . . . Finally, [Joe] Dante wanted to produce a new Howling special edition, because he was dissatisfied with the previously available movie-only edition.
"They're doing The Howling as a special edition at my insistence, because I was so annoyed with the transfer of the last DVD. I didn't like it, and I suggested that it might be a good idea to do another transfer. So we did, and it's got a documentary on it that's not bad, plus most of the stuff that was on the old Image laser disc."
The new documentary incorporates old footage from behind the scenes and new interviews from the participants. The commentary will be the same as the one on the laser disc. "I didn't feel that I needed to do another commentary. In fact, Chris Stone, who's on the commentary, has passed away, so it seemed like it would be better to preserve that one."
No street date is set for the new Howling DVD.
