Just bought the German blu ray and will watch it for the first time as part of my upcoming annual Horrorthon. I hear good things.
Had to opt for the German edition because the movie was never released on BR where I live, but it’s all good because the English audio is included on the German disc.

I blind-bought the German blu-ray and watched this for last October's horror challenge.

I guess it was never released in BluRay in the US so they got the German version.

It seems I actually mis-remembered, I did buy the blu-ray over Amazon Germany, but it's the French blu-ray, since the German release was sold out. But yeah, I'm from Germany, so I would normally buy the German releases.

Yay. I like the 1958 version too, very good by 50s scifi horror standards, a genre that I usually don't care that much for. The 1988 remake however is still much better and closer to my heart. It's sort of The Thing From Another World (1951) / The Thing (1982) kind of situation.
How's Beware! The Blob (1972)? I haven't seen that one.
Nothing really special about the German Blu-ray, no real extras on it, but it's a fine film-like print and that's enough for me, especially since it was a budget release when still in print. With so many movies to watch, I don't usually go for more pricey editions with tons of extras that I'll probably never get around to watching anyway.
(I would assume that a lot of us European cult movie fans have a ton of German Blu-rays, since thanks to amazon.de's policies they are very easy to order and shipping is free for bigger orders. Plus, German release stuff not available elsewhere, at least not wit English options, and they do all kinds of "definitive editions".)

How's Beware! The Blob (1972)? I haven't seen that one. Canine excrement. Zero redeeming value. Listless direction, no sense of pacing, dumb characters and dialogue. Don't bother.

Proof that fanfiction has always had its problems.

I haven't seen this myself, but I might one day just as a curiosity. Because this was directed by Larry Hagman, it was later known as "The film that J.R. shot."
