Excellent. Wow, this sounds exciting, I'd love to have that original screenplay and wonder to which extent it differs from what finally made it in the movie.
Please keep us updated here in case you find any passages which differ from the movie, I'd really like to know it.
I'm really excited to see this screenplay too! I'd love to see some scenes or bits of dialogue that never made it into the film. I'm sure at some point I'll scan the screenplay in so I have a digital copy, so I could send it to anyone who was interested.
Steelbook for that classic 'Burbs nostalgia, but GODDAYUM, that new cover is amazing. I hope they make a poster with that. I would buy that in a heartbeat.
Holy crap! I think that mailman is Archie Hahn. He also had bit parts in Gremlins 2 and Small Soldiers. He had a bigger part in Eerie, Indiana as Mr. Radford(which Joe Dante was a consultant on and an occasional director). If that isn't him, it sure looks a lot like him.
EDIT: On his IMDB page he is credited as a voice over actor in The 'Burbs.

OK, then it's very likely that it's him. What does an voice over actor do? I mean, for which part of The Burbs could you probably need someone who is doing voice over acting?
Actually, I think there are quite a few bits from the trailer that never ended up in the film. The BBQ scene, a scene in the living room with Ray and Carol, and a scene with Ray, Ricky, and Bonnie with a ladder (I think it's while they're waiting for Rumsfield to break into Walter's house to let them in).
I don't remember another film where so much of the trailer is bits that never ended up in the film.
There is also a close shot of Rumsfield's army tattoo.

In deadpan Ray Peterson voice, regarding tattoo: "I've never seen that."
