  The release date for Tremors 4 has been set to January 2nd. As it stands right now you can preorder the DVD packaged with a copy of Tremors. This is the same price as it will be when/if it is sold separately so the copy of Tremors is basically free. We know that many of you already own a DVD of Tremors but this is just the way Universal has packaged the film so give that second copy to a friend or sell it on eBay. You can order your DVD here.
  
  Universal tells us that the VHS version of the film will be for rental only on January 2nd. And will not be available for sell-through until later this year. They did not have a specific date at this time and they had no word on foreign release dates for the film.
  
  
• Tremors The Series will not return to SciFi but Tremors 4 will be here Christmas 2003. (8/8/03)
  To our loyal Tremors Fans -- GOOD NEWS/BAD NEWS. Well, fans, the numbers are in and Tremors: The Series didn't quite hit the demographics and
  market share SciFi was looking for (it was SO close!). We're sorry to report that the rumors are true, the show will not be back for a second season.

  But the Good News is that Tremors 4 will be coming soon. It's all new, all different, and Universal is extremely happy with it (as are we at Stampede, of course). They like it so much they moved its release to near Christmas, so you all know what's going to be in your stocking this year.

• ZAP studios gets nod for T-3 sound! (6/6/02)
  The accolades keep rolling in for Tremors 3. ZAP Studios, sound designers for both Tremors 2 and Tremors 3 were nominated for a Golden Reel sound award this year. Just another example of the high caliber talent that comes to work on the Big Worm pix.

Ex Army SP4 SSWilson says, "I remember it well!"
