You wanna see something REALLY scary?
In 1983, four acclaimed directors combined to put Twilight Zone: The Movie into theaters. John Landis, Steven Spielberg, Joe Dante and George Miller each directed one of four separate segments, bridged together into a single movie via bookend sequences that feature Dan Ackroyd and his classic quote, "You wanna see something REALLY scary?"
Unfortunately, a tragically scary thing occurred during the filming of this movie: actor Vic Morrow, the star of the first segment, lost his life in a helicopter accident on the set; two child actors also died at the same time during that incident. Nevertheless, the 101-minute feature went on to appear in theaters to great fan acclaim, with a cast that included (in roles both large and small) Morrow, Ackroyd, Albert Brooks, John Larroquette, Scatman Crothers, Selma Diamond, Priscilla Pointer, Kathleen Quinlan, Nancy Cartwright, Dick Miller, Bill Mumy, John Lithgow, Donna Dixon, Carol Serling, and narrator Burgess Meredith. Lithgow was especially praised for his reenactment of William Shatner's part in the remake of "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet".
Fans of The Twilight Zone have been anticipating a DVD release of The Movie for many years, one the fans (including me) have been waiting for this for a long, long time!
Warner Home Video will release Twilight Zone: The Movie on DVD, Blu-ray Disc, and HD DVD formats on October 9th. The DVD version will be $19.97 SRP, as you can see below with the early cover art (subject to change).
