I’ll probably get Scorpion’s Tail, never seen it before

Plus, I like the Serio Martino films I’ve seen, but he’s not as good as his brother Sergio

Really? 3 titles im definitely buying. Two others im interested in checking out.
Case of the scorpions tail on its own is a terrific title even if the Yakuza flick and the B-horror of Doom Asylum are of no interest.

I once only just caught a "Wood Allen" in a headline mere minutes before the final print deadline - and that had got past three people, including my initial inspection. Headlines and covers are bizarrely easy to overlook, because you instinctively assume that they must be right from the start because the text is so prominent.

I've always had other people proof read my assignments because I do the "mental AutoCorrect" when reading my own work because I can't see the obvious mistakes. It's one of those situations where you can't see the wood for the trees. I know someone who wrote an assignment with a reference to "slang phrases" only they'd written it as "slag phrases", something the tutor noticed! It's amazing what mistakes you can overlook in your own work.

sounds like you're a bit jaded. are you sure you are really into this cult lark or just killing time

no seriously, whats on your want/wish list trebor?

Definately in for Scorpion's Tail & Doom Asylum.

I know there have been a couple of odd releases, but giallo & cult wise, we're getting gold! These things were so hard to get hold of & to have a mainstream release with extras is a welcome thing!

Doom asylum looks interesting , never heard of it so will be picking it up. Yep suppose I'm a bit jaded as can still remember when announcements filled me with excitement and usual most of the stuff was of intrest, sadly not so much nowadays. I still say everything changed with American.

It's literally my favourite, alongside The Boondock Saints. Seems to be the same artist. Reminds me a little of the artist they got for White Of The Eye and Dressed To Kill. On the other hand, I really hate the Doom Asylum art, it reminds me of the typical Scream Factory cover, bland and forgettable. I'm just not a fan of the comic book style stuff.

I think some of its taste. I generally loathe scream factorys sleeves. That said, cover art has always been a low priority. Last time I can remember it affecting a purchase was stage fright (soavi) where blue undergrounds looked awful while the UK cover was great. Mainly because it replicated the original VHS sleeve so had a nostalgia factor.
