Thanks for the tip, Cashflagg. I put a posting-notice into a.b.m.horror.


So folks don't have to dig up my posting list (which is scrolling off pretty quickly), it's in alt.binaries.dvd & alt.binaries.dvd5. The nzb is also in alt.binaries.nzb.

One day I found... 10 years had got behind me. Next day was worse.

 

Download  shows from Cable DVR (Updated! Yes, it needs a rewrite, but it's worth slogging through, anyway).

I just got my copy of disc two in the mail yesterday. I want to say "good job" to Meedermow and everyone involved. This is a fantastic project that will make a lot of Dawn of the Dead fans very happy! Right now I am doing the happy dance of the dead.

Meedermow - I'm working on getting all the conversions of Scream Greats and The Directors: George A Romero to you this week! I've mentioned this project to some Romero fans on other forums and some have expressed interest in making possible contributions. So stay tuned!

Thanks all!

Disc two - already?

And what's your source for Scream Greats, Starkiller? I ask because I have the laserdisc sitting right here.

Hey meedermow,

I was recently informed of this project by someone I know on another board (Streebo), and I thought that maybe I could possibly add somethings to it.

I have video (that I recorded myself) of a Q&A at the Pittsburgh Comicon with some of the "rare" cast members such as (David Early, Sharon/Clayton Hill, Nick Tallo, Jim Krut, and Joe Shelby) and some video at the Monroeville airport as well. If you would be interested in adding this footage to the project let me know. I could also get more airport and mall footage as I live near them. Let me know if this would be necessessary.

By the way, this is a awesome idea. Especially for someone like me who is a total dork for the movie.

Thanks

Is The Directors episode still being included on this set? It's commercially available on the Season of the Witch/There's Always Vanilla DVD and really shouldn't be included here.

I used to be very active on this forum. I’m not really anymore. Sometimes, people still want to get in touch with me about something, and that is great! If that describes you, please email me at [my username]ATgmailDOTcom.

Hi everybody. You’re all awesome. Keep up the good work.

If you live near them that would be icing on the cake to get some more photos and video footage of the mall and airport. It would make this package very unique.

Perhaps I got the disc number wrong. I thought this was the second disc in the set.

I have one DVD-R transfer from the Laserdisc of The Burning which included Scream Greats and I also have another that I am converting from a recent VHS I purchased from Tom Savini as an alternative if needed.

I brought these up on the thread before and no one was interested - but Meedermow told me he would like to take a look at them.

Do or do not...there is no try...

I don't know if it will be included or not - but as stated above - I have The Directors: George A Romero on the Season of the Witch DVD as well as a recent DVD burn of the UPDATED version that aired on REELZ during October. It includes a short clip and mention of Land of the Dead. I am sending both versions to Meedermow as the updated version is not available on DVD.

Meedermow mentioned he would like to take a look at them so I am more than happy to oblige.

From THE BURNING laserdisc? Sounds a bit suss since Paramount put out SCREAM GREATS. Are you sure this isn't from the Dutch (?) DVD of DAY OF THE DEAD? I'd be interested to know in the quality and whether or not its an NTSC->PAL conversion. You or meedermow might wanna compare it to the screengrabs here:

http://www.horrordvds.com/modules.php?name=Reviews&file=viewarticle&id=226

I'm positive the cassette versions that Tom Savini sells are ones he has personally recorded off the laserdisc. I've done my own DVDR from the laserdisc but I haven't put it through any filters. Just SVIDEO in and then rendered it out at the maximum bitrate.

Eitherway, I'm happy for this to see some kinda release. Especially since Ash595 did up a wonderful cover a few pages back. And then maybe even Savini himself can start selling the DVDs at conventions, rather than the tapes. Not for profit, of course...

I'll send you a copy of the DVD version if you like. It is definitely part of The Burning release - as the menu is seen at one point. The person who made the original conversion didn't start a new chapter - he just started the Scream Greats segment playing when the movie finished. I picked it up from a trader on-line last year so I don't know the exact source.

All sounds very interesting stuff, but suffice to say I won't put putting out any material that can be bought commerically in an exact state - extra addendums etc is another matter.

Rhodesisgod - sounds great - zip me an email: meedermow@hotmail.com

Similarly anyone else - I took a little hiatus from the boards a while back and may have missed key posts, if in doubt - drop me a line and let's make this a *real* definitive project, hell I might even try my hand at an "Ultimate" cut one of these days...

Cheers,

mm

Alotta hardcore Romero nerds hang out there and I bet that, combined, they've probably got everything there is to have on DAWN (including, as I understand it, the 'needle drop' library music cues not available on any soundtrack release).


I just checked the site after months and the post was deleted that was posted. That sucks

But RhodesisGod,please send me a email at TNAJason@hotmail.com(and meedermow at meedermow@hotmail.com) and if you have AIM contact me via IM at DarthCarr. And if anyone wanna talk zombies or the project or just shoot the poop,please feel free to IM me.

Yeah, apparently it violated forum rules or some such nonsense. Anyway, the thread got deleted and I got a warning. Suffice to say I won't be bringing it up over there again. Besides, we didn't exactly get the reponse we had hoped for from those folk.

That's cool, Streebo. Thanks for the offer but I'm happy with my own Laserdisc rip. Just wanted to make sure that if someone were to put this out, there wouldn't be any unnecessary compromises on quality.

Meedermow (or anyone else for that matter), should you show some interest in a SCREAM GREATS project down the line, I'd be happy to make a sample clip available for comparitive purposes.

daveytod, I got the disc in the post yesterday. Thank you! I couldn't talk the fiancee into watching it last night ('oh but it's a horror film and I hate horror films' 'it's not horror woman, it's a comedy'). Definitely watching it tonight.
I can PiF this to anyone in the UK or Europe who wants it. I might be able to do further afield as well. If anyone is interested, send me a PM.
