So, I've been pushing that supposedly FearNet was going to be showcasing unaired eps of Fear Itself.  But, that's the last I'd heard.  I even saw on wikipedia recently that AIRDATES had apppeared in June.  Those dates passed, I saw nothing.  Also, way back when I first started doing this, I mentioned that LionsGate had promised that when it hit dvd, they were going to included extended cuts (this was before it got cancelled so your guess was as good as mine as to whether they were going to keep that promise).

But as we all know, Lionsgate and tv companies do funny things.  The five missing unaired eps have actually aired....in Canada and Latin America I believe.  SO people have seen these, they exist....

AND NOW YOU CAN TOO!

(I think it'd be better for all of us if we just ignored that thing on the left.)

Announced this past week and seen on Fangoria in multiple places:  Lionsgate presents FEAR ITSELF:  The Complete First Season in a collector's edition four-disc set with skeleton-tombstone case.  Street date will be September 15, MSRP is 30 dollars (so itll probably be on sale for 20 or 24).  Each ep will have a behind the scenes featurette with interviews.  The collection will also include EVERY episode, including the 5 unaired, all in 16X9 widescreen.  And most importantly:  The following 4 episodes will be presented in "Director's Cut" format with new footage not aired on tv:

• Stuart Gordon's "Eater"
• Darren Lynn Bousman's "New Year's Day"
• Larry Fessenden's "Skin and Bones"
• Rupert Wainwright's "Echoes" (which was unaired anyway...SO IT'S ALL NEW TO YOU!)

Once I've gotten my hands on the dvd, I'll probably do a variant on the liveblogging I used to do with this (no ads after all), but yes IT'S DEFINITELY COMING.
