Documentary Just Desserts: The Making of Creepshow Headed to Blu-ray
The feature-length documentary Just Desserts: The Making of Creepshow has to date only been officially released in the UK, as a special feature, though subscribers to our very own Box of Dread will remember that we offered up an exclusive DVD last October – bringing the doc Stateside for the very first time.
If you’re not a Box of Dread subscriber, well, you’re missing out on TONS of awesome goodies!
Later this year, Just Desserts is headed to Blu-ray via Synapse Films, and it’ll include bonus features that have never before been released anywhere, on any format. The doc’s director, Michael Felsher, spoke exclusively with the fine folks over at Fangoria this week, and he teased the upcoming HD offering.
“I did a commentary track for it,” Felsher told Fango, “and there’s a second commentary by actor John Amplas, Darryl Ferrucci [Savini’s assistant on the movie] and Bruce Alan Miller, the art director; those three are not in the documentary. Then there’s an interview with cinematographer Michael Gornick, who is also not in the documentary, and extended interview outtakes; I went through everything and found a lot of good stuff we didn’t use. There are deleted sequences, a behind-the-scenes still gallery and some more making-of footage.”
“Then we’ll have SCREAM GREATS VOL. 1, the classic Tom Savini documentary, in there,” Felsher continued. “FANGORIA produced that back in 1986 for Paramount Home Video, who have held onto it ever since. It had life on VHS and laserdisc, but Paramount never reissued it again after that; it just got kind of buried. I’ve tried to secure the rights to it for a couple of other Blu-rays over the last few years, and Paramount was like, ‘What’s this thing we own? We don’t know…’ I finally got ahold of someone over there, Paramount graciously did some research and they let me know that they had no issues with me using the SCREAM GREATS piece as a supplemental feature on JUST DESSERTS.”
