Well I want to thank you for taking one for the team, I don't have any of these movies, I can't wait.

Looks like a double dip for me. At least for The Dead Zone and Pet Sematary.

How is Pet Sematary? I have never read the book nor seenthe movie. I did watch the Dead ZOne recentely, and did enjoy it very much.

The novel is one of King's most frightening works, but the movie, despite a few effective cheap scares, is fairly mediocre.

And as for the Dead Zone SE, no Cronenberg commentary, no deleted scenes, not even any new interview material with the film's lead freakin' actor, Christopher Walken?

I'll still pick it up, but it's one of the best Stephen King movies, and it deserved a better presentation.

I also recently paid $5 or so for Pet Sematary, so I won't feel too badly double-dipping. I've kept my eye on "The Dead Zone" but never made the purchase...and now I'm glad (same for "Blade Runner").

This sounds like a good set it I can find a decent price. Odd that Walken isn't in the "Dead Zone" special features though. He seems to be available for EVERYTHING else. It would have been great to have also included his own parody of the character on Saturday Night Live (which was really funny).

Can anybody confirm if the new Dead Zone features include any of the features that were on the european DVD from a few years back?

Also, is it official yet that only Dead Zone and Pet Semetary are getting actual "special edition" upgrades?
