One of the podcasts I listen to is DeadPit.

It's a horror movie show and quite funny, hosted by a couple of die hard fans in Kentucky.

Anyhow, they get interviews.

Last week's show they had their friend Michael "Slipcase" Felsher, Felsher does the special features on DVDs. He was at the Alamo Drafthouse in Texas recording footage of the cast reunion for the upcoming "Night Of The Creeps" special edition.

Talking to Uncle Bill and the Creepy Kentuckian about future releases, he mentioned a deluxe DVD for "The Wraith". The Charlie Sheen 1986 movie co-starring the nubile Sherilyn Fenn.

He's contacted the director Mike Marvin. A new transfer is being made. It's too early to list special features, but there will be one on the car, the Turbo Surge. There's a guy who made a replica of it.

I'm so buying this. The film was put out on DVD some years back, but was bare bones and in full screen. I'm glad I passed on it. Man, I need to get the soundtrack, an awesome set of '80s tunes. I had it on cassette back in the day.

I still have my original dvd of the Wraith. Cool and classic little movie. And While on the subject of Fenn. I can't help but remember what happened to her in Boxing Helena. Nasty. She was a very well endowed woman from what I recall.

Now how did that line go;

"You lose the race, you lose your car." :D

I just creamed my shorts three fucking times.

I watched my DVD of it just a week ago and still love it to this day. Awesome flick.

I'll buy a SE of it in a heartbeat.

This and Night of the Creeps getting a DVD?

Yes. It's coming out on October 20th ("Night Of The Creeps). Single disc release. The studio didn't want to do a double. But Felsher has stated that the special features is close to an hour long, not including the two commentaries; director and one with the cast.

I'm wondering if they're all gonna be on the same side. I'm guessing this will be a double sided disc.




Dude (God Of War), who's ass is that? Oh my...

This is about some robot-alien guy and a car, right? That was a fun movie, I used to own the VHS.

Here in Mexico it was called "Turbocop". :rolleyes:

A little bit after the fact, but I work with a guy that's rebuilding one of the original movie cars. He has one of the prop Wraith cars used for the race scenes. We have a lot of memorabilia, including the original Wraith suit.

I also have a Myspace page for anyone here available on that network.
