[versions] RE-ANIMATOR (1985) - mono or stereo?

[SpaceBlackKnight]

Mono was indeed the original mix, also in part of US distributor Empire International being initially unsure of it's box office intake and unwilling to spend any more money on it. By the time it was a hit and reached Japan, the Japanese distributor reportedly had a Stereo remix (Bonic Sound) created just for the Japanese theatrical release (A trend that was also sometimes repeated in the past, Warner Japan had a custom stereo mix made exclusively for the Japanese theatrical run of Max Max). This mix was probably created by the producers in the US using original soundtrack recording tapes and D/M/E tracks, and might be the basis for the current stereo and 5.1 mixes.
