I mentioned I didn't love Scanners the first time I saw it, but owe it a rewatch, and I don't own it. I can get the old DVD for like 4 or 5 bucks used... but I want this one. Only problem is I'd have to pay 20+ dollars for it. :p
Also, it comes with DVD and Blu-ray in the case, but I can't tell if the case is shaped like a DVD or blu ray case. Looks like DVD to me. Can anyone confirm? better yet, does anyone own this one?

Has nobody seen Deadly Blessing (1981)? Directed by Wes Craven, and an early 20's Sharon Stone is in it. *buys*
Yesterday bought:
The Blob (1988)
The House by the Cemetery (1981)
Night of the Comet (1984) blu-ray collector's edition
Sweet Sixteen (1983)
Today bought: Prom Night II, III, IV and Deadly Blessing.

Imdb changed the year of release for Bride of Re-Animator from 1990 to 1989. Wiki says late 1990.
Which is it? Because it's making my 80s list if it counts.

I watched Deadly Blessing for a Challenge one year what I mostly remember is how stunning Sharon Stone looked.

I also saw Deadly Blessing, two challenges ago? Watched it the challenge after Wes died.

You've never seen?
I'm counting it as 1990. I don't trust imdb. They've changed so many release dates. Wiki says Bride got a major release in late 1990. I'm going with that. Leaving it off the 80s list.

no, i haven't seen it yet unfortunately.
looks like the 89 date is just for festival circuit stuff. the vhs release was 1990, so that's what i'd go with.

I like the 3rd Re-animator better than Bride but it's been a long time since I've seen bride.

Forgot how much I love The Children so that caused a big shuffle of the list.

I've got the top ten down, but even then it kind of feels shaky.

Not that Re-Animator is very comparable with The Evil Dead franchise, but the transition from Re-Animator to Bride felt a lot like the transition from The Evil Dead to Evil Dead II.
