Question
Do you know if the film "Silent Scream" is out on DVD?
I recall seeing it at the theatres in the summer of 1980
and thought it was an intellient little slice of fright.
Several scenes from the film have stuck with me, and now
I would like to go back and revisit that creepy old house.
I live in Fukuoka, Japan and the release here was entitled
"The Devil Who Lives By The Seaside" which is an inventive
retitling that sheds new light on my interpretation of it.
Remember the character stabbed and built into a sandcastle?
Sadly, though, I cannot seem to find this film in any shop.
Well, thanks a lot for all of your time and possible help.

Cordially,

David  

Answer
Hi, David...

It's not on DVD yet, but I did find a copy on VHS available on Ebay... check this link...

But, seeing as how you live in Japan, you might need to have it converted to another format other than VHS... can you use VHS over there, or do you have to go to PAL format?

Hope this helps,

I am a devout fan of horror films, from the Universal classics to the schlock of the 50`s, on through the 70`s to the splatter era, and straight up to "28 Days Later." Tom Savini films are an extra treat. Ask me about "Knightriders" if you don`t believe me. Anyone else own a copy of that classic?

Just a lifetime subscription to "Famous Monsters of Filmland," and another to "Fangoria."
