cut like shriek show.

So what's cut from the Shriek Show release?

EDIT - That's a little odd having looked it up just a few frames here and there, not scenes or gore, actual frames of film totaling points of a second each time. And only the Media Blasters blu, not the dvd.

I can't believe you actually said this! Chainsaw Hookers is class!

"Dear Facebook followers / valued customers

We are currently in the process of moving over to a fulfilment centre to service our direct orders. This process is happening very rapidly but unfortunately we are a couple of days behind with the orders so please bear with us.

This change, when it is fully implemented will enable us to offer you a far better and more efficient customer experience with options to track your order through the despatch system in greater detail and it will free up a lot of time for James and myself to concentrate on both the quality of the products and the speed with which we release them.

We are so excited about with some of our upcoming and as yet unannounced titles and we hope you will be too. Thank you for taking an interest in what we do and for your continued support.

Scalps specs:

Scalps - Slasher Collection 19 Final Specs (Blu-ray and DVD)

Now (finally) with a confirmed release date of 4th April 2016 - this will be updated on amazon.co.uk etc very soon.

A cut above many eighties "slasher classics", 1983s SCALPS mixes splatter action with the supernatural when a group of college kids begin digging around an old Native American burial ground. Suffice to say, a spirit by the name of Black Claw was enjoying his sleep and does not react well to being disturbed!

A slaughter-thon that serves-up plenty of plasma-spillage and teen-trepanning set-pieces, SCALPS has been unavailable in the UK since the days of rental shops. As such, 88 Films is proud to bring back this low budget terror totem in a terrific new director-approved HD scan that will, surely, have tribes of horror fans hollering in happiness!

Does anyone have any info on Man From Deep River which is supposed to be out on Monday.

Not sure if its just me and I've missed the detail somewhere, but I was wondering if its been stated what exactly is cut and if there are any extras

[JAMIOUSE]

I don't think it's actually out until March / April now. There has been no news on the BBFC's cuts but we do know there is an extra about finding Mai Mai Lee on the disc.

I've seen it uncut and there are numerous 'animal cruelty' scenes that without a doubt got the snip, surprisingly as it was made years bfore Lenzi's Ferox, it's just as brutal animal wise, Hardgore released an 18 cert a few years back and what was cut from that will probably still be missing, it's still a mandatory purchase for 'Cannibal-jungle genre' fans tho.

I see on from Facebook 88 are releasing Last Horror Film as part is the DVD line of slasher classics. I didn't realise the line ups would differ between DVD and Blu and thought for a second I'd have to buy a second copy of the film to keep my spine numbers in order. Presumably they're doin that because they hadn't released Last Horror on DVD previously.

[JAMIOUSE]

Yeah they've started to release the Slasher Classics titles and Italian Collection films on DVD. They did ask on FaceBook last year if people prefered dual editions of single blu and dvd releases. I think most people prefered dual format like Arrow usually release but we got single disc releases instead.

On another note Creepshow 2, Sleepaway Camp 2 & 3 are now properly up for pre-order on Amazon.

Oh and on their FaceBook page the Burial Ground slipcovers have arrived, they are expecting finished in a few days time. I can't wait to see Burial Ground in all its HD glory.
