The slayer is a rare immediate order, it's not one that will hang around long. No doubt it will be limited, hopefully not but probably.

Being both a video nastie and on many peoples top 10 most wanted blus, this will be another hellraiser box/ the burning steel situation for sure.

I can actually see Arrow releasing it very much like they did Blood Rage and The Mutilator, as a limited edition based on the addition of a slipcover. I know the Blood Rage LE was a three disc release and contained alternate cuts, however I'm not aware of a similar situation with The Slayer and it having multiple versions available. I could be wrong though!

well you're likely right.

They may have the sense to realise this one will sell extremely well and put it at 10,000 not 3,000 or 5,000. Especially as they take the dough immediately and not everyone will have it in time.

Im sorry but how is a disc limited with 10k copies available ?

I agree, with that number of copies available you could say that all discs are 'limited'.
I can't imagine that a standard run from the likes of Severin or 88 Films is anywhere near 10k the only difference being that when it goes OOP Arrow can't legally make any more, where as those smaller labels with none limited runs can make as many as they need to for the demand.

"NEW UK TITLE: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 (Blu-ray)

A cult classic in its own right, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 serves up a heady blend of gratuitous gore, socio-political critique and jet-black humour

Release date: 21st August

In 1974, Tobe Hooper quite literally changed the face of horror with his landmark film The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. Although the hulking Leatherface and his trusty power tool left an indelible mark upon the cinematic landscape, it wouldn’t be until 1986 that the buzz came back... in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2!

Relocating the cannibalistic Sawyer clan to a cavernous, labyrinthian dwelling beneath an amusement park, Hooper’s deliciously demented sequel sees Leatherface and Co. continue their murderous exploits afresh. This time around, local DJ Stretch runs afoul of the Sawyers when she gets mixed up in the brutal slaying of two youngsters. Meanwhile, Lieutenant ‘Lefty’ Enright, is hell- bent on avenging the murder of his nephew Franklin, who perished in the original massacre.

A cult classic in its own right, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 serves up a heady blend of gratuitous gore, socio-political critique and jet-black humour – whilst Dennis Hopper’s unhinged turn as Lefty needs to be seen to be believed! Whichever way you skin it, Leatherface’s second cinematic outing is an uncompromisingly delirious vision from one of the masters of horror.
