“Yes, FINALLY! We announced this one like two years ago at least. At the time we thought we were a few months away at the most from getting this psychedelic, early 70s Italo/French witchcraft-themed thriller out onto the streets. But alas, that was not to be. Problem after problem beset us with this one. Broken promises, rights disputes, miscommunication, you name it. But we have finally gotten a 2K scan of the film done and it's currently being inspected by our restoration person. So cross your fingers that everything remains copacetic with this film and we can go ahead as planned."

As announced last month we are finally bringing our long awaited release of the Italian psychedelic horror classic QUEENS OF EVIL to BD for our Annual Halloween Sale in October. Here's a few more details on the limited edition -

It will be a two disc set featuring an exclusive bonus DVD with a massive 3 hour+ interview with Italian genre mainstay Ray Lovelock. This career spanning chat won't be available anywhere else, so of course it's a must-buy if you are a fan.

Also, since it's a double disc set we can't release it in our traditional LE red case. So we're giving it a slipcover! See the art attached for the design. The LE will also feature a booklet with a brand new essay on the film by Italian genre cinema guru Roberto Curti. The disc will also feature a brand new audio commentary on the film by film historians Samm Deighan and Kat Ellinger!

This set will be priced at $28 + shipping and will go on sale in late October, along with two more un-announced titles we are also working on right now. Get excited!"
"A couple of things we need to address about our soon-to-be shipped LE Blu of QUEENS OF EVIL -

1) We didn't note it at the time, but because this edition comes with a slipcover, that means that the number on the inner sleeve is covered up. The entire package is shrink-wrapped. Thus, the numbers are not viewable and not sortable. This means that you will receive a random number not a sequential one that approximates when you ordered.

2) Due to internal miscommunication when it was put up for sale, QUEENS was advertised as being "region free". Sadly, this is not the case. It is "region A locked". This was a stipulation of the rights owner, not a decision we made. But we neglected to share this info properly when the pre-orders were launched.

If you purchased this title and this affects your ability to play the disc and you want to cancel your order and get a refund, please contact us at mondomacabrousa@gmail.com with your name and order number. We will take care of the issue for you right away.

This and the other two new LEs will begin to ship in about two days. Thank you for your patience. We'll have news soon about what is next and when they will go up for sale."
