(And I enjoyed Holy Flame more, but I also enjoy mountain dew and cotton candy.)

Otherwise, you got the video ending by default. I believe the Blu-ray did the same (I have the DVD but not the Blu).

No John Landis. The filmmaker who made the recent documentary on it couldn’t land him, either

In this case, the writer’s strike probably overlapped with the production timeline, preventing him from participating in anything about his past work as a writer (there was an exception made for writer-directors, hence why Lynn could still be interviewed).

It would be absurd to not at least do that here. They're more-or-less copying the wording from the DVD at least.

The same exception would apply to Landis since he is a member of the WGA, DGA, and PGA, and also served as a producer on this film. Its more likely that he either denied to speak about it or Shout chose not to reach out to him. The strike does explain the lack of material with the abundant on screen cast of this film. Guess this means we should hold on to the ETR blu of the doc.

I remember the slightly watery and digitally scrubbed off the shelf blu ray, from an aged remaster.

Comparing the 4th screenshot on caps-a-holic.com and the 1st on Blu-ray.com, it certainly looks improved. Whether it's enough to upgrade depends on how much you like the film, of course.
