The thing will be a blind buy for me. Now all we need is the Exorcist and Amityville Horror |

Where are all the extras that were previously included on the HD DVD releases? It looks like I will be forced to keep my SD DVD versions if I don't want to lose any content. Shame on you Universal but you did do right by including lossless audio on all three. Pay attention Warner! |

The Thing is a must have!!! Looking forward to all the old Carpenter blu-ray's (They Live, Escape From NY, etc.).
Kind of an odd selection of titles for a box-set... |

I'd normally be very excited about the release of The Thing but if that spec list is final, it's missing most of the extras found on the DVD & HD-DVD, in particular a fantastic 80 minute documentary. Not good enough, Universal. |

Didn't care much for the Dawn remake, and the lack of extras is gonna put The Thing on the backburner. I might spring for the Land BD, but if Land is indeed gonna be on a BD25 then I may just hold off on this as well. Almost makes me feel that Universal simply ported over the HD-DVD version to BD, and that an eventual re-release of all 3 movies with more extras and/or higher video bitrate on a BD50 is probably somewhere in the future. Thanks, I'm tired of the double dipping and I'm not as impatient as I used to be to where I have to pick something up the day it comes out. Thankfully, I've got the DVD versions of all three films. But this is a good addition to the BD horror library for sure  |

Land was a combo release on HD-DVD, and one that was a single layer 15g, so there will be increased bandwith even on a BD-25. Not condoning this practice, but it will certainly be better, even just for the upgrade in audio. |
