The early Japanese laserdisc of The Evil Dead is a bit of a mystery. Why is it so dark and blue? I doubt the original prints were like this.
Actually, I've heard that the original run prints were timed very blue like the LD. The HBO VHS shows similar timing.
AFAIK, the BD is how the color appears on the negative... non-color-timed.
By the way, is anyone bothered by the way Vertigo is on BD? I saw a Technicolor IB print, and there is absolutely no comparison... the final scene simmers with neon blue hues completely muted and pink in the BD.
