Silent Night Deadly Night 30th Anniversary Edition...

Wow this has popped up out of the blu. (Ha puns~)

Over at Amazon.com a pre-order for the classic slasher Silent Night Deadly Night has appeared. Its for a 30th Anniversary Edition Blu-ray coming from Anchor Bay in the US.

I'm really hoping the blu includes the Unrated version because it really takes the fun out of the film in its R-rated form. Hopefully even if the unrated footage is not as good quality it's included via seemless branching.

I currently have the UK Arrow DVD which is excellent but a HD version would knock my socks off. Silent Night Deadly Night is absolute classic of the genre. Probably I  my top 10 favourite slashers.

So lets all cross our fingers folks and hope Anchor Bay come through with the unrated cut. Here's the Amazon link

This sounds soooo awesome. I have every film in the collection already bar Halloween 3 Season of the Witch but the inclusion of Halloween 6 The Producers Cut makes this a must have for me. I remember reading it has around 40 minutes of entirely different footage and is near enough a utterly different film. Very excited to say the least. I've wanted to see it for years. Congratulations Anchor Bay and Scream Factory this is very special.
