U.S. label Shout Factory has provided an important update for its upcoming Collector's Edition of Charles E. Sellier Jr.'s film Silent Night, Deadly Night (1984), starring Linnea Quigley, Lilyan Chauvin, Gilmer McCormick, Britt Leach, and Nancy Borgenicht. The two-disc set will be available for purchase on December 5.
In addition to the update, which is quoted below, the label has provided the complete specs for the release.
Statement from Shout Factory:
"Regarding the Extended Version: For our new transfer, Sony Studios scanned the original camera negative at Technicolor in 4K. Unfortunately though we learned during our process that this original element was cut and did not contain the unrated footage we were hoping to find. Sony searched their vault for the footage (and we also looked aggressively into other alternatives to find it) but sadly it was not saved and remains missing.
The only solution for presenting the extended cut of the film was to incorporate the same unrated video footage that has been present on prior home entertainment DVD and Blu-ray releases. The transition of scenes between the theatrical and unrated versions will still be noticeable but we have tried to minimize the shifts in picture quality by restoring the unrated footage to try to match the color and clarity to our new transfer as best we could."

DISC ONE: THEATRICAL VERSION
