Lots of pre-orders too: Mad Max Collection Limited Tin Box,Deranged (Arrow),House on Straw Hill (still waiting...),Hatchet III (Dark Sky),Q The Winged Serpent (Shout! Factory),Scanners II-III (Scream Factory),Frankenstein's Army (Dark Sky),Squirm (Arrow),Day of the Dead (Scream),The Dark Knight Trilogy Collector's Edition Box w/ replicas,Prince of Darkness (Scream),Halloween 35th Anniversary Edition,The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 Limited Edition Set from Arrow (I have the austrian and US BD's already,but what the hell,it's a favourite of mine),In the Mouth of Madness BD,The Exorcist 40th Anniversary Edition,Creepshow (Second Sight) and Demons Limited Edition SteelBook from Synapse.Damn do I know where my money goes.
Scream Factory's The Incredible Melting Man and The Fog are just around corner,big fan of their output! |
