I'd like to contribute $20 as well, if you're still accepting.

Rumours circulating that a 4k UHD release is imminent. After years of mediocrity Hopefully now we'll have two awesome versions of the film to enjoy very soon.

Severin are announcing a new UHD title imminently:

The headlining sale title, a UHD/Blu/CD, will be revealed tomorrow. It’’s been out of circulation for far too long, has never looked anything like this good and it's a features stacked edition to really sink your teeth into.

The severin release could also be Martin (which has a new restoration/scan being done by SecondSight in the UK).
There is a rumour that StudioCanal might be releasing it in the UK/Europe but they could all be baseless rumours in the end.

My personal preference would be Fright Night 2 then, but a lot of other people guessing Vampire's Kiss with Nicholas Cage.

EDIT - Well I'm happy with Blood for Dracula!

And Near Dark got announced too:

It didn't, they got the scoop from the same BS twitter account that made people think it was near dark.
