403-416
418-424

Some of the one-off gaps are no doubt delayed projects like Dracula but I wonder if the gaps represent projects or deals that got cancelled or never got off the ground?

I'm pretty sure the Rollins will be 403-416 and I think there's a good chance that 418-424 are also from the Redemption catalogue, although The Cold Eyes of Fear is listed right back at 279 so that might indicate otherwise? The gap of 336-380 is the biggest - surely not all Mexican films?

Anyway, there seems to be a lot of licensed product backed up now so a lot to look forward to
There's more Universal Noir sets to come - one this year at least - so they will fill in a few gaps. Apparently they couldn't get more out at the time due to lockdown issues.

179 and 182 are the much-delayed but still pending Dracula and Carnal Knowledge.

192 is still being restored. 199 has yet to find a congenial release month. (Neither title has been announced or teased.)

Same situation as 199 with 209, 211, 216, 258, 263 and 264.

218 was Ishtar, but will be reassigned at some point, just as 46 segued from California Split to The Swimmer.

236 has been delayed indefinitely thanks to the lack of HD materials.

265-267 is a box set whose contents are still being restored.

274, 275 and 278 are more Mexican titles.

292 and 293 are both by the same director and will be announced pretty soon.

336-347 are earmarked for the next two Universal Noir boxes. I suspect 348 onwards may be in a similar situation.

400 to at least 418 are Jean Rollin.

Sorry, that's not correct - in fact, it was lockdown that caused the Columbia Noir sets to be released more frequently than intended, because they were pretty easy to put together under lockdown because of their heavy reliance on already digitised materials. (By contrast, projects like The Pemini Organisation ended up being delayed for a couple of years or so because they required more hands-on interaction).

But because lockdown is no longer an issue, the Universal Noir boxes are being released at a slower rate, as there's no reason to rush them.

That'll teach me to skim read on another forum whilst on the phone.

Here's the low stock update for Indicator LEs. Likely that most of these will go OOP during the sale with standard editions to follow

"From the mind of one of Italian genre cinema’s most outrageous and uncompromising filmmakers comes Black Magic Rites (Riti, magie nere e segrete orge nel Trecento... aka The Reincarnation of Isabel), Renato Polselli’s (The Vampire and the Ballerina) delirious masterpiece of erotic horror.

When beautiful Laureen throws a wild party at the castle which she has just inherited, she is blissfully unaware that its dark cellar harbours an occult sect that is hellbent on avenging the death of Isabel, who was burned at the stake 600 years earlier as a witch. The occultists’ satanic rituals call for the blood of virgins… Could Laureen be next?

Starring Mickey Hargitay (Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter?) and Rita Calderoni (A Quiet Place in the Country) this bizarre, psychedelic fusion of eroticism and Italian Gothic horror is presented in an all-new 4K restoration from the original negative."

The things I'd like are not eligible for this sale and the things that I really really wanted I either have already or have on preorder, so sitting this one out.

Hope you all get what you're after. Keep abreast of the OOP alerts as things can go OOP quite unexpectedly. I was caught short with one of the Mexican releases and had to quickly go to Amazon to make sure I got one at a reasonable price
