New Madman DVD in the Works
Source:Robg.
January 18, 2010
We've learned that Code Red DVD is in the early stages of prepping a new special edition of the early 80's "slasher" cult classic Madman. Anchor Bay Entertainment initially put out the DVD back in 2001 which has long since been out of print.While the new features for this edition are still being worked out, we do know that the original commentary track with writer/director Joe Giannone, writer/producer Gary Sales and stars Tony Fish and Paul "Madman Marz" Ehlers will be carted over from the Anchor Bay release. (Sadly, Giannone and Fish are no longer with us.)
Early word has it the disc will sport new interviews with some of the cast, as well as a featurette visiting the original shooting locations with Madman Marz himself, Paul Ehlers.
Madman pre-dated the original Friday The 13th and has become a "slasher" fan favorite in recent years, especially with frequent plays on IFC. Code Red has released DVD editions of other genre titles such as Don't Go In The Woods, Beyond The Door and Dead Pit, amongst others.
We'll keep you posted on more details for this release as they become official. Expect the new special edition Madman DVD later this year.

Lol, wdwmkr, Code Red HAS been sucking balls as of late in terms of releasing films on time without mass delays. Fortunately, I have the Anchor Bay DVD, which is also signed by the great Paul "Madman Marz" Ehlers himself. I'd have to see what kind of additional features or remastering this Code Red edition will have before double-dipping.

I checked Amazon today to see if they had the release date for it and although they had no image available they posted it as tbr Sept. 28! Is this true?

babyface68 - I'm pretty sure that is in fact the release date. I know all the special features for it were shot, edited and submitted, so September seems like a realistic date. Can't wait myself!
