Book of the Dead DTS w/out the Book (1 Viewer)

[Martice]

I was in a local shop and I saw a copy of the Evil Dead. This one was a DTS remastered version but it didn't come with the book. Infact, it had a regular case. I would like to know if the disc is the same disc minus the collectors Book of the Dead cover?

This is a link to anchor bays page about the book of the dead and the new Evil dead disc, and according to their list, the book of the dead has more material than the disc only

The Book of the Dead version has at least 2 more extras. The excellent 26-minute Fanalysis documentary by Bruce Campbell. And the 13-minute retrospective of how the film was conceived and brought to screen.

However, audio & video wise it's the same movie...Right??

Although I don't own both, I can't imagine the A/V being any different. Both were released by Anchor Bay on the same day in March 2002. The Book of the Dead was for the cultish fans and other geek types.

Audio and video is definitely the same!

Greg, have you seen the 13-minute documentary? It's a short piece on how the film was released in the UK during the time of the video nasties.

I was at Blockbuster yesterday and they have a keep-case version of "Evil Dead" and the cover proclaims "contains over an hour of new material!". Looking at the back of the box, it lists DTS, Fanalysis, and the new documentary. In the lower corner, it stated "Contains material from Evil Dead Book of the Dead."

What's up with that?

Jimmy!

More than likely,

Acnhor Bay created a keepcase version of the Book of The Dead disc for rental only.

You can download and print a jacket for a case

if you want to keep your Book of The Dead disc

in a plastic case. It is on the Anchor bay Site.

Note that the jacket on the site has the bar code

section blank, so you can't mistake it for a store

sold disc in a case.

That's for the Special Edition. Not the Book of the Dead edition. It's an alternate cover art for the regular SE. There's keepcase art for the BotD at dvdcoverart.com.

I didn't get my BotD until today, because the shop didn't have any copies in stock...
