Paul, are all three Blus upgrades of DVDs ? I made a descision early on that I was not gonna upgrade a DVD to Blu if I could help it. I'm going nuts I have all those Bava films already... This is definitely a great time to put a Horror collection together with so much HD stuff coming out...

Most disappointed - altho it was a good film!

No, TCM2 and Black Sunday aren't. I'd been after the R1 dvd edition of TCM2 for a while as I fancied a revisit of it but didn't really want to pay £7-£10 for it. Managed to get the bluray for about £7 which is decent. Like you say, great time for horror collections.

Like you, when I first got a bluray player I was dead against upgrading my films but have done so for a lot of my favourites. It really does give the films a new lease of life.

£100 would get you 30 minutes with me

That is much better value!!!!!!!

I had the shipping confirmation e-mail last week, so it should arrive today.

I went for the one with the T-shirt as it was just under £8 more than the standard set, so a really good price for the piece of clothing.

I'm currently keeping my fingers crossed that my Night of the Living Dead (1990) BD comes through Customs unscathed as, otherwise, I'll end up paying even more for the TT set.

Evilspeak is one of the better former video nasties IMO.The version oaxaca has is quite heavily cut though, I seem to recall.Unfortunately I think the ABUK set is now out of print.

More stuff arrived today - I have now spent as much of my wages as I can, £100 left for the month isn't bad going! I'm still expecting a lot more stuff though

Plenty of good stuff and a guilty pleasure, and I'm not talking about Manimal!
