Just saw on Blurage that the proposed Hartford-Davis set is now dead in the water.

The small piece of good news is that The Fiend has been picked up by 88 as a future release.

What was supposed to be part of the H-D set other than The Fiend?

The Black Torment is with Salvation and Screenbound and Corruption has already been released.

That is disappointing news. I'm glad that I didn't get rid of my copy of The Black Torment (Odeon) and my copy of The Fiend (Vinegar Syndrome) now.

The Black Torment was expected as it was leaked by Kim Newman and the other rumoured was Incense of the Damned

I hope that Incense for the Damned gets a Blu-ray release at some point, although I'm not holding my breath. At least I have the old UK DVD of that one.

An exhaustively detailed and very fair review of Indicator's Stanley Long's Adventures box, courtesy of We Are Cult.

Quote:

When this collection was announced in January ’22, several eyebrows were raised and a lot of people seemed… displeased. True enough, it didn’t seem in keeping with Indicator’s usual style, but the doubters should’ve trusted that Sam Dunn and his associates knew what they were doing since this is a brilliant set. Whatever you feel about the films themselves – whether you choose to be appalled by the rampant sexism, repulsed by the lecherous and predatory behaviours (from men and women alike), or even perversely amused by some of the most heavy handed setups to ever exist in the name of farce – fans of bawdy ‘70s comedy should definitely take the opportunity to revisit these titles together with the copious bonus materials. The whole is far better than the sum of the (private) parts, resulting an interesting and offbeat addition to the Indicator catalogue. Don’t consider this a guilty pleasure – consider it an interesting but flawed slice of cult film history.
