Bloody hell! Looks like TT's Night Of The Living Dead is selling like hot cakes! According to blu-ray.com, 600 of the 3000 copies sold already, and it's only been up for pre-order for 40 minutes!

Right now, it's only 2096 left. I already secured my copy of the film.

And Sony keep insisting there's no market for these films. :doh:

If the Sony execs aren't looking on (and on the Fright Night sell-out) and thinking 'Hang on a minute...' then I know Sony must be run by ****ing braindead idiots with the business sense of a blind mongoose on crutches.

Isolated score, trailer, Tom Savini commentary. Hardly barebones. It's selling so well because some people would rather pay £24 (that's what it costs all in for us in the UK), than the silly money people will be trying to sell it for on ebay.

The Russ Meyer collection box set!

Damn you for making this post!

Yesterday, at midnight, they had two copies of this set for £16.75, but I was too 'tired and emotional' - i.e drunk - to order it.

Bad things seem to happen to me when I order things from Amazon or Arrow films when the combination of alcohol and credit card are involved!!!

Today, the price has gone up to £20.26. Still cheap I admit, but it has definately increased

Curse those of you who purchased this between midnight and time of writing!!!!!!!!!!!

just tried to order the damnned thing. $30 + $7 postage, then when I get to the payment they want me to add ANOTHER $15 POSTAGE or if the disc gets lost in the postal system then I get no replacement. all total to stand a chance of getting NOTLD on blu-ray its nearer $52! so thats £32 for the movie..

I'll have to seriously check my finances before ordering this and by that time it will probably sell out.

This pretty much sums up my whole problem with TT. If you don't have a huge disposable income, or the discs released too far away from payday working stiffs like me may as well forget about owning the discs as all the speculators buy multiple copies to stick on ebay.

I had no problems with the standard shipping on Fright Night or anything else I've ordered from Screenarchives. So £24 for it is very reasonable. I know many people won't even spend £10 on a brand new dvd, but as I've said many times, dvds in this country used to be £20 with scene selection as extras, so £24 for a limited edition BD from the states (with extras), isn't bad at all......you bunch of misers :tongue1: :lol: :behindsofa:

Except if the disc goes missing then i've spent £24 with no comeback as TT state they will not replace the disc. You may have had no problems but i've enough experience of stuff going walkabouts in the mail system to want some sort of guarentee that i'm going to get a replacement or my money back if it goes missing. An extra £15 dollars ON TOP of the $7 postage is WAY too much for one disc..... as a zombie fan NOTLD is the first TT disc to tempt me, but I don't fancy ordering at the costs their charging.

Stephen@Cult Labs 15th September 2012 09:32 AM

Ah well, just need to wait to see if it ever gets a release somewhere else.

And you'll get stung by Customs and Royal Mail too. So add another £8 - £9 on top of that as well.

Not bothered tbh. :) Of course it all depends what price they put on the box. :)

Well, my budget's quite tight, so I have to count the pennies. And when a disc starts approaching the £40 price mark I have to bow out. I simply don't have those kind of funds to splash out on a single BD.

Me neither when I can(and am) paying the same price for the Universal Monsters Coffin set.

It would probably be better to order TT titles from them via Amz UK marketplace - that way if anything goes wrong, they'll have to answer to Amazon. Only trouble is that these particular ones will be sold out long before they come up on the page.

I first saw this when I was about 7 when my cousin was looking after me one day, needless to say he got a severe bollocking off my mum when she found out, great film definitely one of Tobe Hooper's best films

Interesting selection. Poltergeist is a classic, We Need to Talk about Kevin is a masterpiece and Melancholia is one which you might think is brilliant. I thought the subject material and acting was first rate, but the direction was a little clunky and disjointed.

On a purely juvenile level, there is one scene where Kirsten Dunst is lying naked by a river and there are a couple of quite long shots of her from the waist up – very impressive!

Justin101 15th September 2012 01:15 PM

I'm not sure which to watch first, Poltergeist I haven't seen for a long long time, not seen either of the other two but looking forward to both!

On the subject of Poltergeist, we watched it on 'the last day of term' maybe 2nd or 3rd year Secondary, some of the lads were screaming haha - so funny, the bit under the bed made almost everyone jump out of their skin. Don't know what our form teacher was thinking!

At least you know what you're going to get with Poltergeist and could watch it any evening. Melancholia and We Need to Talk about Kevin are much more heavy going and you really need to pay attention, so clear your schedule for those!

Yeah i missed it as a kid and ever since thought it wouldn't be horror enough to watch now.

Justin101 15th September 2012 01:21 PM

Scary or not Dem it's an awesome ghost story! should take the plunge you'll enjoy it.

I don't find it scary now as an adult, but certain scenes scared the crap outta me as a kid, hence the bollocking for my cousin :lol:

I also missed it as a kid – I hardly ever watched films when I was younger, only getting into horror films in my late teens – but have watched it over half a dozen times. It isn't particularly scary (few horror films are nowadays), but it's excellent and one you should definitely watch.

hadn't even thought about that! It mind end up cheaper to buy from one of the speculators off ebay :lol:

Better yet i'll stick with the dvd that cost me a quid and use the money to play catch up on code red releases. They seem to actually be reprinting the stuff that sold out!

Demdike@Cult Labs 15th September 2012 01:26 PM

With endorsements like that i can't really go wrong, next time i'm on Amazon i'll order it.
