Where's the BRAM STOKER documentary on laser disc? (1 Viewer)

[Dick]

I know I owned this, and I know I didn't pay $100.00 for the Criterion edition. But on a recent eBay win, I got the standard 2-disc set from Columbia and it has only the movie. On what issue is the 30-minute (very excellent) documentary and trailer? Maybe a CAV release?

Columbia issued two different releases of the film on Laserdisc,a regular barebones edition and a slightly higher priced one that contained extras. Both were 2 discs and the one with extras had the HBO special you mention that btw,was only in snippets on the Criterion release.Catalog number for the one with the docu is #53436. I have the R4 Australian DVD of the film which has the docu in full.

That would be the "Special Collector's Edition", Tristar catalogue #53436 [the standard edition is 51416; both are 3 sides in a gatefold, but the Collector's Edition was made by DADC Austria instead of DADC USA]. This from LDDb; I have only come in contact with the Standard Edition, and that copy [like two-thirds of everything shipped out the door at Terre Haute, it seems] had a rotted side.

Isn't it amazing that none of this ever made it onto the DVD?

CTHV is the king of triple-dips and they still can't put out an SE.

By chance, I got the LD SC years ago.

I have the Columbia Special Collector's Edition LD with the making of documentary. If anyone wants it I would be more than willing to trade it for pretty much any DVD that I don't already have. PM me if interested.
