Hey there.
August 26th was a very important day here for me.
Why? Today was the day one of my favorite movies comes out on DVD.

And no, it's not the second Lord of the Rings movie. Although, I will be renting The Two Towers this week to check it out. I'll be buying the Extended Version DVD in a couple of months.

No, the DVD I wanted was "The Howling Special Edition" DVD. As you know, this is one of my all-time favorite werewolf movies (along with The Wolf Man and American Werewolf in London) and now with this special edition DVD, I now have all three of them in special, jam-packed DVDs. The Howling came out on DVD a couple of years ago, but it was only a bare-bones DVD, and there was no way I was going to buy that one.

The reason why was because several years ago they made a special edition laser disc version of the movie, filled with features and commentary from the stars of the film. A friend of mine in college made me a video tape copy of that movie and it freakin' rocked!! So I hoped that whenever they would come out with a DVD, that it will have those same features that was in the laser disc, along with some new additons.

Well, after getting it today, I was thrilled! They have the same commentary from the laser disc, along with some new additions, like several new documentaries, and bloopers. It is an awesome addition to my growing DVD collection.

Oh, there is another reason why August 26th is an important day for me. It's also my mother's birthday.

Happy Birthday Mom!! I love you!!!
