The first thing I did was follow the Amazon link, so my interest disappeared when I saw the preorder price was £59.99! I like the films, but not at nearly £20 each.

As the Arrow page has crashed, there is no way of seeing what their preorder price is at the moment.

A few months down the line the amaray releases will be in Fopp for £6 each.

That's when I'll buy the ones I want, probably Season of the Witch and The Crazies. I would have previously bought the set because of the box so it looks good on the shelf, but I don't have room and the price is very prohibitive.

JD's Revenge and Miracle Mile are both superb films - great announcements from Arrow.

I'll probably wait for the individual Romero releases, plus am undecided on whether to get the Digipak or Steelbook version of The Thing.

I don't like the box design anyway.

I'm not keen on The Crazies at all, never seen Vanilla, although i do love Season of the Witch. One of his top 3 imo.

Even at that price The Crazies can stay on the shelf. And for sixty quid Arrow can shove the bloody boxset right up their arse. Greedy twats
Damn thing looks like a Two Ronnies boxset anyway.

It wasn’t long before the Blaxploitation boom moved into the horror market, bringing the world Blacula, Blackenstein, Abby (Blaxploitation’s The Exorcist) and cult favourite J.D.’s Revenge.

Law student Ike is enjoying a night on the town with his friends when his life changes dramatically. Taking part in a nightclub hypnosis act, he becomes possessed with the spirit of a violent gangster murdered in the 1940s. Believing himself to be the reincarnation of murderous J.D., Ike launches a revenge campaign against those who had done ‘him’ wrong all those years ago…

Directed by Arthur Marks (Bucktown, Friday Foster) and starring Glynn Turman (Cooley High) and Academy Award-winner Louis Gossett Jr (An Officer and a Gentleman), J.D.’s Revenge is a alternately tough and terrifying – a Blaxploitation gem waiting to be rediscovered!

Gonna spin the UK BD of The Thing to see if 4K will do much, like the idea of a new doc but the old Thing takes shape is pretty good, but like others will wait for an amray in any case.
