Hi

Thanks all for the feed back - comments noted about the extra foliage - I'll dig out the Woodlands Scenics and sort it out over the weekend.

Yes, it is my favourite version. Has a great cast, including Christian Bale, Christopher Lee, Oliver Reed, Richard Johnson and Julian Glover. I still have an aging VHS copy recorded off the telly. Really is a shame you can't get it on DVD.

Is it not one of the versions you can buy here?

It's none of the ones that give any details. There are a bunch of Region 1 DVDs at the end of that list with no picture or information. Would be madness to buy one on the offchance, especially as it only ever seems to have been released on VHS (to my knowledge).

What do you think about this:

Is this a fake?

I would like to get this classic film on DVD myself, but have my doubts about this product, apart from playability on US and Canada machines only.

Good news if it is bona fide, but it seems odd that you cannot buy it from more well-known retailers such as Amazon, and yet this website I never heard of has it (?). IMDB don't list it as being available on DVD.

My guess would be that someone transferred their VHS copy onto a disc, but there's no way to know without forking over the $20.  >:( If my tape version dies I might just have to.
