Press Release Scream Factory Press Release: Friday The 13th Deluxe Edition (Blu-ray) (1 Viewer)

Y'all are forcing me to drag out the 35mm print of part 3 and run it to check the credits. I was thinking all the opening credits up until the van driving up to Vera's house all popped out but I can't be sure until I have a look.
I'll let everyone know when I verify.

They did, but don’t on the Blu-ray.

Allen Friday #3 was on our "must show" for Halloween so I'll go ahead and enjoy it and double check the credits but a feel sure we're correct. I've watched the movie countless times at home plus the two weeks I projected it for Malco Theatres when it was released first run back in the day so I should remember every inch of the film but the older I get the less sure of myself I become!!!

Kinda glad I never upgraded from my trusty From Crystal Lake to Manhattan DVD box set....

Were there issues with Scream's first box set release, The Amityville Horror Trilogy?

Seems they don't know what the problem is. "First instance " is fine. It's the rest of the opening credits that are a problem. I hope Greg Kintz will write to them so they fix all the problems not just the opening credits.

• PART 3 (When viewing in 3D) – First instance of 3D opening credits does not come out of the screen correctly.

Does the 3D come out looking something like this

Yes except it's an eyeball, an arrow, a yo-yo, a snake, a fist wrapped in a chain, etc.

You know what? I'd love to have actual 3D versions of the Dr. Tongue movies!

Maybe if you send Count Floyd $20.00 he'll send you the 3D glasses to watch those films properly.

Need a self-addressed stamped envelope too!

Need a self-addressed stamped envelope too!

You should be able to afford that

As promised, here's the bottom line on the "credits" question on Friday the 13th, part 3.
From the start of the opening credits, which is Friday the 13th until the end, Directed By, each and every credit pops off the screen at the viewer. So if your Shout disc doesn't do that, it's NOT right.
Questions?

I failed to mention that the "real 3D" begins with the shot of Jason on the floor with the machete beside him. At least that's when it begins on the original release prints.

You don't happen to remember if that shot of Jason on the floor wasn't in the full 2.35 aspect ratio? That shot and the opening credits always have been 1.85(?) in the 2.35 frame from the 2000 DVD to today but I'm curious about the prints.

 

[DFurr]

As far as I know every print of part 3 was printed in 2:35, even the non 3D drive in prints. If a theatre, either drive in or hardtop couldn't project 3D, they ran the 2D 2:35 print. Studios were not doing conversion work back then so since the scene was in real 3D I'm assuming they re-shot the footage. The flashback at the beginning (non 3D) was printed in 2:35 on the 3D prints.

Yes, but they were baked into the elements. Amityville 3-D was shot with the ArriVision 3-D rig and exhibits horrible chromatic aberrations in the form of "fringing" produced by the optics.

 

[DFurr]

My knowledge on cameras is very limited but I believe Friday part 3 was shot with a Arriflex 35 BL, Marks 3-Depix Converter rig. My 35mm print of Amityville 3D has some issues and I would say less issues than the Friday print.

 

[DFurr]

There's not a single title from the 80's 3D list that didn't have issues. They've come a long way with 3D since then. The newer 3D titles (Final D #5, Drive Angry, and others) with the exception of conversions which are still great) are almost perfect 3D. I've seen zero problems with those Technicolor 3D titles. Unfortunately the rise of digital cinema took care of that!!!

Each over/under rig had its issues, with the better ones bein the Space Vision rig and Chris Condon's rigs, which had very good optics. The Optimax III, for example had parallax issues because of the configuration of the lenses.

Yeah, the DVDs and Blu-rays have the Part 2 flashback footage matted to 2.35 but for some weird reason, that shot of Jason crawling away and the opening credits have always been presented at about 1.85 in the middle of the 2.35 frame in all of its DVD and Blu-ray incarnations.
