The new transfer is beautiful, especially the 16mm and the film itself has stood the test of time away from the hype. Great documentary as well. I just hope you can all get some respect and recompense from the studio sometime soon.

Congratulations, awesome! Need to get a region free player for instances like this. Though I might go on the other app just to get at Lionsgate about this.

My LE is on the way! Cannot wait to watch as intended Mike! Always craved more of this OG masterpiece and never imagined I would see the day! Congrats to the entire BWP team on your redemption arc, effort and passion since this films inception!

I especially loved the 2 and a half hour new documentary

Can we get it in VHS, like you probably intended 25 years ago? (Kidding!)

mikemonello.bsky.social•113 days ago

If I could design a special edition, I would make the packaging look like the Hi8 Camcorder it was filmed on with an HDMI cable attached. You connect the "camera" to your TV via the cable and watch the film that way.

That would be awesome. Like just a thumb drive in a box.

I need to tell you I saw your movie in downtown Seattle and it scared me so much I put a chair up against my hotel room door.

I’m originally from W. Pa. and it was too close for comfort!

Now we've gotta get a release over here, dangnabbit! Hey, Lionsgate!

patkelman.bsky.social•113 days ago

It’s a beautiful box set, and the documentary is fantastic. Worth every penny.

waveyart.bsky.social•113 days ago

I'm pretty excited about seeing this one - very glad it's on the way!

cinemalarky.bsky.social•113 days ago

Yooooo this has been such a long time coming. Congrats!!

iainl7.bsky.social•113 days ago

Oh my. I normally try to avoid these big box special editions, but that’s remarkable.

iainl7.bsky.social•112 days ago

And to answer my unspoken question, there’s a normal, slim release for those of us without the space for special edition boxes. So there’s lovely:

👏 👏

I can't believe that I never realized that it had not been released on home video for all these years!

I mean, I saw it in the theater and on cable....

Still, this is great news! Congrats!

mikemonello.bsky.social•113 days ago

It has been released, just not the way it was meant to be released because the distributor used the wrong master.

marcmck.bsky.social•113 days ago

I see...thanks for clarifying this, Mike.

sailorcarmie.bsky.social•113 days ago

I am extremely happy about this! I can't wait to watch one of my favourite films the way it was always meant to be seen. Not to mention the additional material! Thank you for making it happen! 🖤

phillipescott.bsky.social•113 days ago

Thanks again for everything, Mike! ♥️

theheadknight.bsky.social•113 days ago

Fantastic work, Mike! So excited for this release!

nickxcom.bsky.social•113 days ago

Investing in a region free Blu-ray player pays off again ❤️ I'm super excited for this release and I'm sorry you aren't making any $ from it!!!

gavinmichaelbooth.bsky.social•111 days ago

Can you share what make/model that player is?

mikemonello.bsky.social•113 days ago

I'm just happy it's available as we always intended!

fullmetalnyuu.bsky.social•110 days ago

By the time I saw this it was already too late 😭

I really hope I'm able to snag a copy once it's restocked!

joannarowewrites.bsky.social•113 days ago

I was 16 years old working in a movie theater when this came out. I could hear people screaming every showing and was too scared I made coworkers help people to their seats. 😂

danielofdojima.bsky.social•113 days ago

My order is in the post. Can't wait to experience this as intended.

satyric.bsky.social•113 days ago

Are the actors involved at all?

mikemonello.bsky.social•113 days ago

They were made offers to participate, but due to their ongoing issues with Lions Gate they chose not to be involved. Note that none of us earn any money from Blair Witch anything. Our work on this was unpaid, and we only did it to finally get it out into the world the way it was meant to be.

satyric.bsky.social•113 days ago

Thank you for doing that. I remember stumbling upon the pre-release documentary on TV halfway through, not knowing it was fiction at first. Seriously effective.
