Death Becomes Her and Dr. Giggles are guilty pleasures of mine, however neither movie has gotten much love on the home video market. I place the blame squarely on Universal for neglecting these two horror/comedies.

DBH on DVD in the U.S. is Fullscreen and muddy looking, but the U.K. has a rip from the WS LaserDisc much like the Star Wars Theatrical Editions. There is an HD copy somewhere because I saw it on Netflix instant two years ago.

Dr. Giggles is on Blu-ray, but the transfer is weak and not OAR. Somehow Warner Brothers acquired the rights for the film from Universal.

The current DVDs are not anamorphic or in their OAR and I own both on LaserDisc solely for that reasons.

I myself cannot do a preservation , would anyone be interested in helping me preserving these movies? I doubt they will get the a proper release anytime soon.
