On a routine visit to J & R in New York City today, I came across a Something Weird dvd of K Gordon Murray's "The Living Head/The Living Coffin." The last I heard was that the entire Murray series was on hold indefinitely. There was only one copy of this disc and I didn't see any other titles in the series in the shop. The copyright date on the disc is 2003, but the date on the price tag was October 2004, so they can't have had the thing in stock for long. Anyone know anything? I'm hoping hoping hoping this means I'll have "The Witch's Mirror" in my hands soon!
Now to watch...

That is peculiar...the only way I know some of that series came out is through screeners (which somehow I never got my hands on! DAMN!). Have you bought it? Does the disc have art on it or does it state it's a screener?

I did buy the disc. It's got the full art, very similar to the Doctor of Doom one we got last year.

I think you have a bona fide collector's item there. From what I can gather these were all withdrawn pending legal issues.

The really peculiar thing is that this disc was received by J&R in the month of October (their large price tags have all kinds of information on them), which is why I suspect that more may show up. Of course, if I do have a real rarity, I'll keep it and smile =)

I dropped by J&R yesterday and there were none to be found.
Drat!!!
You may have scored the only copy in existence!
