J'ai craqué pour le DVD. Le film est présenté en 1.85 (compatible 16/9) ou en Pan & Scan pour les masos. La copie proposée est de bonne qualité.
J'ai revu le film avec beaucoup de plaisir. Je le trouve toujours aussi envoûtant.
Au niveau bonus, il y a juste la bande-annonce. Dommage qu'on ait pas droit au making of d'époque, au commentaire audio de Bradbury présent sur le laserdisc, et surtout aux scènes coupées :
- A special-effects sequence that took place at the beginning of the film was cut shortly before the movie hit the theaters. In this sequence, the carnival materializes from the smoke of the train - the smoke from the engine "becomes ropes and canvas tents. Tree limbs grow together to form a ferris wheel and a spider web mutates into a wheel of fortune." This sequence was the first time that computer animation was used to animate organic material, and it was combined with traditional animation. The scene was deemed not convincing enough and was cut from the film at the very last minute (according to an issue of "Twilight Zone Magazine" that was released the same month as the film, the scene was going to be in the final print).
- In the spider sequence, the boys are noticeably older, since the scene was re-shot after the rest of the production had been completed. This was used to replace a sequence with a large mechanical hand, which like the animated appearance of the carnival, was deemed to hokey and was subsequently cut from the film.

Dommage qu'on ait pas droit non plus à l'affiche originale du film que je trouve vraiment magnifique:
