We change things up by focusing on a boutique label, Twilight Time, that has found success through a unique business model. Mark and Aaron happen to be big fans, and feel that we have directly contributed towards some of their profits. We talk about the company, their business model, why they have succeeded, and we address some common critiques. We also review a few discs each, and finally count down our favorite Twilight Time titles.

Nancy Kwan and Glenn Ford investigate an airplane disaster in Fate Is the Hunter.
In May, Fate Is the Hunter, the 1964 mystery drama film directed by Ralph Nelson about the drama revolving around an ill-fated commercial airline flight, makes its Blu-ray debut from Twilight Time.
From the 1961 best seller by aviation author Ernest K. Gann, Fate Is the Hunter details a horrific airplane crash and, in its aftermath, the desperate attempt to discover what brought plane, passengers, and crew to their fiery fate. Directed by Ralph Nelson, with striking black-and-white cinematography by Milton Krasner (All About Eve), Fate is a combination of disaster movie and mystery that interweaves the stories of a dogged investigator (Glenn Ford, 3:10 to Yuma)), the doomed pilot (Rod Taylor, The Time Machine), his bereaved girlfriend (Nancy Kwan, Flower Drum Song), and the tragedy’s sole survivor (Suzanne Pleshette,...

It’S Sold Out!!! That means if you are holding or have ordered your copy of the the 199o Tom Savini remake of Night of the Living Dead as released by Twilight Time you are holding a thing of value, clearly collectible and highly in demand. Your dilemma now, before you open it, is if you wanna pawn it on Ebay to make a quick $200 or do you wanna rip open the packaging, smell the beautiful 8 page booklet inside and be a part of an elite club of 3000 folks who “got in” while the getting was good. There’s no guarantee that you won’t see another pressing of this release; Twilight Time is more than clear about that always being a potential. What should be fair to say is that if you are fan of this movie and you love Blu-ray, this is a disc that you should have in your collection.

We were surprised that Sony Pictures didn’t release a Blu-ray edition of the original Fright Night, especially with all of the promotion that was done for the remake. The remake may not have fared as well as expected, but plenty of horror fans want to get their hands on a restored version of the original.
Scheduled for release on December 13th, specialty label Twilight Time has announced that they have made a deal with Sony and will be offering a limited edition Blu-ray of the original Fright Night.

Oh, that old DVD from MGM is a barebones crapfest. Okay, so it was decent 10 years ago, but it was a flipper (no longer made), only extra was a trailer, and technology has changed. Well, thanks to whatever hype the remake caused, on the Blu-ray forums, the webmaster posted this great little piece of news:
“…Scheduled follow-up on December 13th is the original Fright Night (1985), the horror/comedy cult favorite written and directed by Tom Holland and starring Chris Sarandon and Roddy McDowall.”
A December date for the remake seems likely, since it flopped and a three month window is the norm. If anything, this is killer news. Let’s hope there’s some good extras. Thoughts?
Update: Here’s the official press release via Screen Archives:

Don’t worry folks. This isn’t a Twilight related news article. We don’t do that here on The Criterion Cast. Instead it’s the exciting news that specialty DVD label Twilight Time has partnered with 20th Century Fox to release limited edition versions of many of their films. Similar to what the Warner Archive does, Twilight Time will be taking films from Fox’s archives and pressing a run of 3000 DVDs from a restored transfer. All releases are to include an 8 page booklet with an essay, stills and poster art. Some releases will even have an isolated score, all for $19.99.
