I remember that too!
That would have made a much better reverse artwork.

I understand the production history and I have to say I rather liked Delirium. It certainly has a seventies style and some of the deaths are suitably gruesome in a HG Lewis way.

What was most shocking though was the amount of library music I've only previously heard on Prisoner: Cell Block H!!

I quickly skimmed through it and liked the aesthetic. It was a bit of a jolt to get to the end credits and hear the Mastermind theme playing throughout though!

The late 80s slasher Intruder uses tons of library music I associate with Sons & Daughters!
Always cracks me up.

Wouldn't know-never buy those horrible Scream steelbooks.
I was referring to their original release in an Amaray case.

That's the best endorsement for a Z-Grade movie I've ever heard! I am actually sold... I go to the shops tomorrow and buy it.
