That was another option, but I thought it was too obvious.

Looking at the database of my collection, it doesn't look like they've sold DVDs since 2019. I think the last release with a DVD was the dual format Swamp Thing (25/03/2019), after Eyeball (27/08/2018) and Iris: The Movie (13/08/2018).

I also think that it’s going to pretty stacked with features too, considering that the Severin version is 4 discs including a soundtrack CD. We’ll see though!

The 'single disc' comment seemed like a deliberate understatement, possibly alluding to an equivalent release to the Severin package – I hope that's the case and this is a 'must buy' bells and whistles release.

We have taken them seriously although it has taken time to work out the best way to address them, but we have been busily getting them addressed and yesterday we viewed a new Dolby Vision HDR regraded version with the English audio synch tidied up and its definitely much better now.

So, we are going to go ahead and reprint these discs with the revised master and implement a replacement programme. We haven't worked out the best way to do this yet bit will obviously let you know once we have the discs in hand in (could still be a few months due to compression, authoring. check disc approval, printing etc).#

If you have bought this from us directly (or do buy it from us until the new versions are in ) we will figure out a way to send these to you automatically so you wont need to contact us.

Please don't contact us yet with proof of purchase etc as we are not
setup to take these details down yet.

Thanks for your patience and honestly we do listen and want to do them best we can, sorry this one has had to take a second go at to get right.

n.b. We are also planning to do the same with House on the Edge of the Park but that one is quite a bit more involved to get the framing perfect as we'll need to start from scratch basically and it will take a while.)"

Hell of the Living Dead discs should be going out very soon

You will not receive a shipping notification but sending us your proof of purchase would have secured your place on our mail out list (unless told otherwise)"

that's all there is on the disc cause they weren't allowed to do anything with it that's why there is no new special features or no reverse cover for it' they only have the film for a year it's a bad film not in a good way.

I like The Medallion personally Lee Evans
