The 88 Films Thread

[Stephen@Cult Labs]

It looks like it's 3 interviews on the VS disc.

Didn't even see the bit about the first interview.

I like how they're listening to fans, with regards to the numbered collection across two formats, and I like that they added a splash of colour to the spines, because the black and white looked bland. But they've replaced the title logos on the spines with a horrible generic typeface. It still feels a little two steps forward, one back with them. It'd be near perfect if they reverted to title logos on the spines.

I think I'm still sticking with VinSyn's edition of Graduation Day. I'm not hugely interested in the Scream Queens documentary. I've seen a lot of those films, but couldn't pick the majority of the ladies listed out of a line up to save my life. I've always considered my Scream Queens ever so slightly more classy. It seems a lot to stick on a single disc too.

It says they have reversible covers with the original art, so I'd expect the spines on the reverse to include the original title font as they do with all their other releases.

Maybe they will release 'Bloodsucking Freaks' on DVD as well as Blu-Ray like they originally advertised then!

Yeah that pissed me off as well.

[plasterface]

they should take a leaf out of arrow's book and do blu/dvd combi packs it makes other companies look greedy. And it's bloody annoying they are releasing titles that haven't seen a dvd release in this country and bunging them straight to blu.

[JAMIOUSE]

It does make sense to put out combi packs, a lot of people still don't have Blu players so it is kinda prohibiting sales.

Has any date been mooted for Dead Next Door?

I thought I read on a web site that the release of Graduation Day was going to be region free, so does anybody know of somewhere to purchase them in the United States? There is going to be a U.S. release of Graduation Day, but I didn't see the Scream Queens documentary listed as an extra.
