It looks to be official, the cult horror film The Dark Night of the Scarecrow (Frank De Felitta, 1981) will be released on US DVD by VCI in time for Halloween.?? Announced early last year as both a Blu-Ray and DVD release by Image who were then on the verge of declaring bankruptcy, it was then assumed that Lion's Gate would be releasing it with newly shot sequences.?? The website Horroryearbook reports that VCI will now be responsible for bringing this to DVD, though a Blu-Ray release now seems doubtful.?? Hopefully this will be the original version without the newly shot sequences that were rumoured earlier this year that are intended to resolve questions audiences had about the ending.?? Personally, I find the ending of the film to be superb and perfectly straight forward.??
