As long as the transfer is new, I'll be fine but if it ends up being something else I will eye future filmmaker releases very warily.
Lame indeed. I'm pretty much through supporting these "homegrown" reissues and the lies at these prices now. The Killing Spree Blu-ray, sucked. This sounds like it sucks too. I'm hesitant to even support anything remotely similar on Kickstarter or IndieGoGo either.
That's LAME. He went on about how this was from a film element. Like Kat, I'm done supporting this nonsense.
On his post of Feb 24 on Facebook someone point blank asks if the Blu will be from the 35mm print and he replies "yes"...
Seems to be some kind of a fight, going on at the Rocktober Blood FB page. Something about an BBQ joint, and some personal attacks? Guess the money went into the BBQ, instead of the charity? This guy seems to be even worse than Crazy Bill
At least Bill delivered real HD masters in 16x9 for a BluRay, and are pressed discs. This guy up res a old 1 inch, claimed to be from a print, and made BD-R and charged 50 bucks.
I honestly think The Sebastians have no clue what they are doing. I'm sure they've been contacted exponentially over the years regarding Rocktober Blood because of the ever growing cult following the film currently has....and decided to exploit the films popularity and release the film themselves the best and cheapest way they can. In their eyes, they see the film's fanbase being thankful for just that. Little do The Sebastians know, that fanbase isn't dedicated enough to shell out $60 for a subpar BD...and the ones that are, are probably a cranky bunch who will certainly feel ripped off.

Yeesh. Whatever. Just a reminder to stick to the big boys from now on. Life's too short for all of this.
Just previewed mine, terrible VHS quality rip. Blurry, bleeding colors, soft, dirt from the scan. Do not support this.
Not surprisingly, audio is lossy Dolby Digital 2.0 @ 128 kbps, too. There's also an interview with Ferd and Beverly Sebastian tacked on after the end credits of the film at the 1:27:36 mark. I only skimmed through it, but it looks like it's focused primarily on their Greyhound rescue work.
It's not the fact that its a VHS rip, or that it cost $50 dollars, it's that the he said they would be legit blu-rays and that he said "yes" when someone asked if this would be from the 35mm elements. Looking back, the answers are not as specific as they might have been. Bookwalter's blu release of Dead Next Door was great but he was also very transparent about what everyone would get. But from here on out I will not be crowd fund/support people without track records.
