At least Italy12 was able to get some information out of this thread, So guess it did serve its purpose. I guess I deserve a fair share of the blame in encouraging somenoise. I was the first one to reply. The topic peeked my interest so I felt compelled to respond.

Please note that "somenoise" is a spammer. I delete one or two of his posts each and every week because he does nothing but shill products for Fox and Anchor Bay. Occasionally, I leave one of his posts alone just to show readers what he's up to. I have contacted Fox about him on several occasions, but they continue to disclaim any knowledge of his actions. Fair enough. In the meantime, please don't encourage him.

Do we really need another release of Evil Dead 2? Does anyone know for sure what is on this version that makes it so much more special than the others? :(

Smelly packaging
Remastered video
One additional extra

The video does look phenomenally better, at least from my limited memory. I didn't do a side-by-side comparison.

I don't know if anyone else noticed, but I think that some bloopers in this film have been corrected. Look at the eyeball flying in Bobby Joe's mouth: the stick at the bottom and the monofilament seen when she recoils is gone. Also, the noticeable hole in the ass of Ted Raimi's witch suit looks different. AM I right or just crazy?
