Topic: On Pre-Order 2008-2013

[samuelrichardscott]

Received the Scanners blu-ray check disc today!

[Jimmy]

Some pre-order I did since my last post...

From Amazon Canada



The Howling will be on blu-ray too, but I think the DVD is more than enough for me since I just want to replace my defective DVD.

From Diabolik DVD

 

I'm also highly interested by the Severin release of The House on Straw Hill but I wait after Diabolik to carry it (it will be too expensive at Amazon Canada...).

I will certainly pre-order those too from Vinegar Syndrome when they will become available.

I already own the individual releases of Mad max 1 + 2. If quality of the transfer and the extras is improved I might consider upgrading to the trilogy, rather than getting the individual release of Mad Max 3.


I won an old The Howling release and might consider upgrading if it's worth it... (to upgrade, the movie is sure worth it )


So, finally somebody followed up and had some actors read from the telephone book, t please the people who always say "I'd watch him/her reading the telephone book"...?

[Jimmy]

No, it's one of those New York black and white movies I like so much

I doubt it will catch your interest, but this is the VS trailer for it (Many familliar visage in this... at least for me)

[Achim]

I see... Actually, the image was too big at first, now I looked it it from a bit more distance I recognized that cover image a bit better...


Oh, by the way, did we talk about the UK release for Castle Freak in this thread? I remember you getting me the information that it will be region free...? I just saw on Amazon that it has been delayed to September? When did that happen...?

[Jimmy]

A couple of weeks ago, at least it's when I got the email from Amazon UK. It's sure a long delay but maybe they work on some extra materials (something with Barbara Crampton and Jeffrey Combs would be nice).

Talking of Barbara Crampton, I'm always waiting after Amazon to send me my copy of From Beyond where she is interviewed (Jeffrey Combs also).

Hmmm, is that something you need to sign up for, to be informed about delays...? Oh, wait, you pre-ordered, I only have it on my Wish List...

I will order From Beyond too, but since it's an upgrade for me I am in no rush.

[Jimmy]

As you said, it's because I pre-order it.

And now it is available to pre-order and of course it is done



And for those who would say that it was already available since a long time I'll say one thing... it's the complete uncut version that was never release anywhere in the world done via a collector print that took years to find...

I've check the Facebook page of 88 Films and the delay won't be that long... It will be out somewhere in june. The delay was because of a new interview they did with Stuart Gordon for that release...

BTW look what they will release in may

Of course my pre-order is done

They will release Demonic Toys and Dollman on blu-ray too in may, but I will probably wait in september to get Demonic Toys (I know nothing about the other one).

In that case they are excused. Stuart Gordon is always a pleasure to listen to.

I bet it's the case with The Pit and the Pendulum as I got the same kind of email about it yesterday...

I forgot, is that a Gordon film as well...? I remember seeing it at a festival and only being mildly impressed at the time (I think I preferred Dolls over this one).

Maybe I have to get it as well...

I forgot, is that a Gordon film as well...?

Just realized I've missed your question... sorry
Yes The Pit and the Pendulum is from Stuart Gordon too. Lance Henrickson plays the Vincent Price role so it can't be that bad, but they sure had a lot of characters compare to the Roger Corman's version. Never seen it, but for the price a blind buy isn't too much of a risk.

Thanks. That sure looks like an update over the UK release I have so far. I'll give it some thought; The Fog is by far not Carpenter's best, but I'd say it's a guilty pleasure of mine.

O.k., so I am curious. I have seen it before but hardly remember anything. I added it to my wish list at Amazon.co.uk. I remember you said 88 Films releases are usually region free?
