Did any of you go to see this? I didn't hear about it until the day it happened and I already had plans so I couldn't go. I'm wondering if it was worth it?

There was some controversy surrounding the September showing. Some sources claimed it was a digital projection coming from a DVD. No idea if that is true though.
Other than that this was mainly a Warners promotion stunt to push sales for the upcoming Extended Director's Cut Blu-ray, which is available at stores this week and will include most features from the September event.
No, but I saw a similar sort of Fathom event for THE WIZARD OF OZ. Basically it was like watching a DVD featurette before watching the movie. A good experience.
My question is; with such a well known movie and Halloween coming up why wasn't there any advertisements?
This is the first I have heard of this. I would have love to have seen this movie with the extra footage.
Oh well.
This movie still scares me.

I'll Pass. This movie scares me and I prefer to scream like a little girl in the privacy of my home. Its bad enough the kids mock me :bluesad:
