Whatever they put out the fan boys will fawn and proclaim day 1 purchase!! I cannot get excited about their release schedule any more, for me only the House and Phantasm boxsets are worth dipping into my wallet for, the rest that they have released this year are just not my cup of tea.

I understand they have broadened their horizons and the more appeal to a wider audience enables them to give some much needed love to some of the horror cult films that attract people like me and for that, they do deserve praise and more power to them. Although I have the Cult Epics Buttgereit boxset, I would like to see the final two films given the same love that they gave to Nekro 1 and 2. Fingers crossed.

It's also worth remembering that Arrow outbid 88 for a few slasher titles they were after so The Slayer is a possibility you know. Off the top of my head I can't remember which titles they've acquired but I think 88 were after Madman, Blood Rage and The Mutilator before Arrow gazumped their offer.

Bill from Code Red has mentioned on a few occasions that all that remains of The Slayer in terms of usable elements is a tape master making a Blu-ray very unlikely to come from anyone ever. I think he holds the rights himself too in the US making an Arrow release even more unlikely considering they wouldn't be able to release it dual territory.

When it comes to Bill though who knows where the fiction ends and the facts begin!

Another might be Sleepaway Camp. I remember 88 Films were hoping to add it to their slasher collection in the numbered slot before the two sequels, but they ended up filling the space with Scarecrows.

So either the rights are in a mess, or they were outbid...

I believe they put the $$ offer out to the rights holder who kept them hanging around before finally declining their offer. What the rights holder wanted is anyones guess, Sleepaway Camp is hardly My Bloody Valentine it's a very niche little slasher.
