Given the amount of marketing dollars behind the recent remake of Fright Night, we're surprised that Sony didn't take advantage of the publicity and release a Blu-ray edition of the original film. While we're not getting a big release with extensive special features, Screen Archives Entertainment has made a deal with Sony to release only 3,000 copies of a Fright Night Blu-ray and we have all the details.

"Specialty label TWILIGHT TIME has struck a deal with Sony Pictures Home Entertainment to license and release classic films from the Sony-owned Columbia Pictures library in high-definition Blu-ray editions. In line with TWILIGHT TIME’s innovative limited series concept, just 3000 units of each title will be produced, aimed at the collector/classic film aficionado market, and available exclusively online through www.screenarchives.com, the nation’s largest independent distributor of specialty soundtracks."
