As I previously mentioned, a super-deluxe version of "The Evil Dead" was coming out, but now it looks like the only major reason to buy the thing (save the fancy packaging) has been axed. Anchor Bay, a DVD company notorious for milking a horror movie for all it's worth (they've released about eight in total for "Evil Dead" and "Army of Darkness" so far), made an announcement yesterday that the short film shot in Super 8 that Bruce, Sam, and Rob made to show investors, "Within the Woods," would NOT be included. Here's the official statement...and notice how even THEY mention their penchant for re-releasing better versions all the time: Hello, As many of you out there know, we have a special BOOK OF THE DEAD edition of THE EVIL DEAD releasing on March 5th. Over the past year that we have been working on this release, we were always hopeful that the original short film, WITHIN THE WOODS, would finally be included on an EVIL DEAD home video release. Some months back, we were thrilled to be able to do just that, as we were able to clear many hurdles that had prevented the release of the film for so long. A lot of work was done and everything was going fine. I, myself, was excitedly trumpeting this feature to attendees of the recent Fangoria Weekend of Horrors in NYC. However on Monday, we were notified of an unexpected situation that is going to prevent us from including WITHIN THE WOODS on our DVD. I do not have further details on that. However, this is not an attempt to hold the short back for another release of EVIL DEAD down the line, or anything of that nature. Needless to say this is disappointing for us as I am sure it will be for the fans. As a result of this, WITHIN THE WOODS is being removed from our packaging and website details, and will not be mentioned in any further ads or print material concerning our March 5th EVIL DEAD promotion. Unfortunately a few advertisements were already running that do mention WOODS, however at this stage we weren't able to recall everything. We sincerely hope this will not dissuade anyone from purchasing THE BOOK OF THE DEAD edition come March. It will be a terrific package with several new features such as Bruce Campbell's FANALYSIS and the new DISCOVERING EVIL DEAD featurette which features appearances from producer Robert Tapert and EVIL DEAD actors Sarah York and Betsy Baker. Not to mention Tom Sullivan's sterling work on the BOOK itself which has excited everyone we have shown it to. In the end, we did everything we could to make WITHIN THE WOODS happen, but, as many other studios have experienced, sometimes last-minute roadblocks can intervene when everything seems set in stone. We've never had an occasion where a feature of a DVD had to be dropped at such a late stage in the process, however we are 100% positive that this will not delay the street date, and that the BOOK OF THE DEAD will, irregardless of this change, a worthy and exciting release come March 5th. We appreciate everyone's support of Anchor Bay and THE EVIL DEAD at Mobius and throughout the DVD community, not to mention the cast & crew of THE EVIL DEAD, many of whom have contributed greatly to our upcoming DVDs. If anyone has any questions or comments, please let me know. The Suggested Retail Price will remain at $49.98. Michael R. Felsher, Anchor Bay Entertainment http://www.anchorbayentertainment.com/ In other news, I saw the final box design for the upcoming Xena DVD.

There's never a time when they don't have some kind of comment at the bottom of the screen - history notes, hollywood trivia, chat. Drives me nuts, so I can't stand watching.

Venator Thursday January 17 5:57 PM ET ''The X-Files'' to end run in May By Steve Gorman LOS ANGELES(Reuters) - The truth is still out there, but in a few months ``The X-Files'' won't be. At least not on network television. The Fox network said Thursday its signature show about paranoid government agents confronting dark, unexplained forces will end its nine-year run in May with a two-part series finale co-written by ``X-Files'' creator and executive producer Chris Carter. The show, which helped define Fox as a network and generated big bucks for parent company News Corp., has seen its ratings and critical support erode since founding star David Duchovny bowed out of the series altogether at the end of last season. His original co-star, Gillian Anderson, had already been planning to leave the show in May, when her contract is up. But the series will likely live on for some time in broadcast syndication, where it ranks as the highest-rated off-network hour on TV. A second feature film based on the show also is in the works. Fox executives agreed to pull the plug in May after Carter informed them he wanted to wrap the series at the end of its current season while it still had some life, ``rather than (the end) being sprung on us,'' he said. Carter said Duchovny told him he was interested in coming back for the finale, ``but it's all about doing it right.'' Carter added he intends to tie up most of the show's mythological loose threads, including whether Scully's baby was fathered by aliens and explaining what happened to Mulder. As to the overarching question of whether there really was a takeover of Earth by extraterrestrials, ``you'll know something about that,'' Carter said. ``This is a show that deals with the unexplained, and to explain the unexplained is kind of tricky, so we do it in our very own 'X-Files' way.'' 'TWILIGHT ZONE' OF THE '90s Debuting in 1993, ``The X-Files'' originally centered on special agents Fox Mulder (Duchovny), a believer in the paranormal, and Dana Scully (Anderson), a medical doctor and skeptic, as they probed unsolved FBI cases involving UFO sightings, telepaths and mutants while hidden forces seemed to impede their work. Its cult following soon snowballed into mainstream success, and the show won 15 Emmy Awards over the years, including an acting prize for Anderson. TV Guide chief critic Matt Roush said ``X-Files'' was one of the few TV dramas that succeeding in dealing with the supernatural without seeming hokey. ``It was a kind of 'Twilight Zone' of the '90s,'' Roush said, referring to the popular thriller anthology series hosted in the 1960s by Rod Serling. ``It was dense and layered and sometimes really, really scary. Few shows can pull that off.'' As Duchovny phased out his involvement last season, former ''Terminator 2'' co-star Robert Patrick joined the cast as Scully's new partner, agent John Doggett. However, many fans felt Patrick never managed to fill the gaping hole left by Duchovny, whose chemistry with Anderson had been a major element of the series. Besides, Mulder had been the driving force behind the show's premise. ``The show was about his quest to discover the truth of a conspiracy of an alien takeover. You take him out of the equation, and the whole thing kind of collapses,'' Roush said. ''It's like 'The Mary Tyler Moore Show' continuing without Mary Tyler Moore.'' While the series lost much of its former ratings luster this season, ``The X-Files'' has remained a key fixture at Fox, helping to pave the way for similarly edgy new dramas like ''Dark Angel'' and this season's espionage thriller ``24.'' Roush said ``X-Files'' was the first serious drama on Fox to win critical acclaim and one that cemented the broadcaster's reputation ``as the network that really took risks.'' ``It was instrumental in putting Fox on the map, plain and simple,'' Fox Entertainment Television Group Chairman Sandy Grushow told Daily Variety. ``It helped define the network. It alerted the industry to the fact that we could succeed with quality drama.''
