Who feels like searching the web?
I wanna find out if some or all of these shows I miss so much may have (even in their entirety) ever been released on dvd....
Results Anyone?

I loved all those shows too...

I really wish they would produce more, but lately they have released lame versions like the last Twilight Zone remake on UPN. Those retarded versions fail in the ratings and I think that makes the studios think the genre won't sell. They just need better producers I guess. Lets pray the horror channel has original programming and reruns our old favorites like Sci-Fi does now with Sci-Fi.

I loved the following and you can still find them:

*Tales from the Crypt - American Movie Classics (airs every Friday night as part of Fear Friday) - also select episodes on DVD
*The Outer Limits (original) - Sci-Fi Channel
*The Outer Limits (Showtime remake) - Syndication (channel 36 in SF Bay area)
*The Twilight Zone (original) - Sci-Fi Channel
*Dark Shadows - Sci-Fi Channel
*Friday the 13th Series - Coming to DVD (I liked it, but I know other didn't)
*Lost in Space - Coming to DVD (maybe not horror, but had to mention it)

Loved these shows, but can't find:
*Monsters (this one was a favorite)
*Twilight Zone (80's Remake)
*Freddy's Nightmares (Can't find the VHS versions, but they are out there)

Have not seen, but would love to:
*Freakylinks
*Tales from the Darkside (I vaguely remember it, but not sure if I saw it)

Didn't really like:
*Recent Twilight Zones on UPN
*Nickelodeon versions of these shows - I was just a little to old for their toned down versions of horror to get into it

Although it's Sci-fi, the totally retarded Enterprise was revamped this season into a very cool and exciting sci-fi/horror angle. Their ZOMBIE VULCANS ROCK!!!

here in belgium they only played tales from the crypt and outer limits, but that has been ages, it's stupid, the channel that played it mostly repeats shows like crazy, they showed shows like that 70s show 5 times already, why not with tales froim the crypt

If you kids are still up after 12, they show all those old ass shows, but by that time I'm to stoned to pay attention anyway.

don't they have a new Twilight Zone with Ghost Dog as the host?

starseed 01-10-2004 11:18 AM

I haven't seen Freddy's Nightmares since it aired on TV. I'm not quite ready to make a bline purchase for that. Just wish I could find it to rent.

It's cancelled. That was the UPN version I mentioned, hosted by Forest Whitaker. It sucked big time - too slow - too lame - wish it hadn't been though.

Rayne, (or anyone?)
First of all, Is "no more mr nice guy" about a robbery of a fast-food place or something at the beginning?
I remember seeing a Freddy's Nightmare that I thought was pretty cool (and I didn't much like this series due to lack of "freddy time"), this one had Freddy towards the end, it was about some detective dude that was investigating a bizarre death that was thought to be an impossible suicide (the body was found sitting in a "spin-around" type chair, with a ring of blood around it, after the body's gone, for some reason, I can't remember, it seemed that some evidence was found to link the detective to the scene, he escaped back into the house to try and clear his name, and falls asleep in the chair. The same thing happens to him that happened to the other guy, Freddy comes into the dream, spins the chair around really fast, and slashes his throat....hence the ring of blood....I wouldn't mind actually getting this episode...know what it's called?
Also, yknow if they released a double dvd with ALL episodes on it....I think it'd probably be a seller.....but then again, this goes back to my beef with cancellation of the cool old shows, and how not MANY of them have been released yet....I dunno if things'll ever be good again....WHERE ARE MY GODDAMN SHOWS!!!???!!!
