replies: text: It doesn't, so I deleted it. I also deleted the bit about the ghost sfx foreshadowing the LOTR army of ghosts sequence; the army bit was written years before this movie. Lots42 (talk) 00:20, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:The Frighteners DVD cover.jpg

message: I rented both DVDs from Netflix recently, and the film was the same cut that I had on VHS from the 1990s. The 2nd disc is a very long documentary about the filming, made by Peter Jackson and company, for "the laserdisc release." Several times during the interviews, particularly discussing cut scenes from the theatrical cut, Jackson refers to them being "seen for the first time on this Laserdisc release." But none of those scenes were in the film. Can someone else confirm or deny that the DVD version is somehow longer or different from the original theatrical and initial home video release? If not, I'll strike that from the appropriate section.
I still have the 2nd disc documentary, and since this is a candidate, can review the article with the documentary for accuracy. Will try to add better writing, too, as that seems to be the last point for GA status. -- David Spalding (☎ ✉ ✍) 18:33, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
