House of Exorcism simply reuses footage from Lisa along with some newly shot footage to include a demonic possession. So, in my mind, both versions should be kept completely separate anyway.

Not according to Tim Lucas

Otherwise, Bava fans can rejoice because LISA AND THE DEVIL has finally triumphed in pictorial beauty over its more financially successful, frog-barfing twin.END OF QUOTE

I believe the car death was a bit longer as well, though memory is hazy on this.

Looking forward to the Bavy titles. The Metzger ones have to be the worst titles Arrow have release so far (for me) ... also the choice to make almost every title a Dual Format edition is awful. I want to get my slipboxes from Amazon, that's way easier than having to order from the AV site.

Sad, but true. Arrow has seen WAY better times than this.

How are the various versions of 'Black Sunday' going to be spread out over the discs? I'm guessing it's something like this as it's listed as a 3xdisc set;

Blu Ray 'Italian version' with different audio options + AIP version

DVD Extras + 'I Vampiri'

DVD same as disc one

Is this correct ? It is a shame you didn't release 'I Vampiri' as a separate release, it would of been nice to have that one in HD, there are 3 different versions of 'I Vampiri', the Italian cut, a slightly different German cut and a very different US cut 'The Devils Commandment', but for those who want these versions there is a very nice english friendly 3xdvd German release available.
