Evil Dead 3 Disc Ultimate Edition

It's coming, just in time for Christmas, The Evil Dead: 3 Disc Ultimate Edition from none other than Anchor Bay Entertainment. With a release date of December 18th, 2007 it will make the perfect gift for your favorite horror head. Now I realize that this movie probably already sits on a shelf in your collection right next to Army of Darkness, but the studios know how to rope us in. I personally have bought 3 versions of the original Evil Dead dvd. My favorite being the book of the dead version, the packaging alone is worth the price.

That being said I'm already in line for this one, there are plenty of added special features to make me cough up the suggested retail of $34.97. Anchor Bay is awesome for the fact they are the only studio releasing our favorites in this way. The new dvd packaging is a replica of the original theatrical poster from the late 70's, with worn edges and bent corners included.

If it's anything like the Dawn of the Dead Ultimate Edition released a few years back it's well worth the extra buy. I haven't seen anyone taking pre-orders but if I do I'll post a link here..
