Ahh, it is actually page 30. For some reason the thread is less pages in the tapatalk app but the picture doesn't seem to be on the post now (unless I'm missing it), so........

Me too...

I consider "City of the Living Dead" and "House by the Cemetery" superior films than "The Beyond".

Don´t get me wrong, "The Beyond" is still very good in it´s own merit but I just think it´s not a cohesive move, looks more like a collection or great scenes in between some not so great ones.

Is there something offensive about wanting to know this?

That art is gorgeous! As much as I love City Of The Living Dead my affinity for The Beyond runs just a bit deeper. The film moves in a more cohesive fashion and relies heavily on the wondrous Fabio Frizzi score.

No there isn't. Almar is a busy man and I'm sure if he sees your post, then he'll reply.

Well indeed - replies aren't always instant for a variety if reasons - Christmas being the excuse this time. No reason for any delays - more the fact the time was needed to get the release together. Often retail want dates so the first ones tend to be speculative.

Totally agree. I don't think COTLD is as effective in terms of atmosphere or music score. The Beyond, I think, is Fulci's masterpiece. The setting in the deep south is terrific and the story seems to flow better than COTLD. Being arachnophobic I hate that spider scene lol.

I dunno, The Beyond seems to be the one that garners the most worship, but I have to say, every time I watch it, i always stick on COTLD straight after it (and vice versa), they have the same atmosphere of utter despair and hopelessness, and I think the fact that the story of COTLD doesn't "flow" all that well suits is perfectly, gives it the very Lovecraftian feel of no-one being in control or able to fathom the forces they're dealing with!

Can't wait for this release, I missed out on that tin box that came out many moons ago, so - EXCELLENT!
