Just as Your Humble Reviewer was trying to figure out how he'd get his hands on that elusive American version, this news popped up from VCI. They're putting out a disc containing both the American and Mexican versions of the film and it will be out in time for Halloween. Read on for all the mondo-maniacal details...
