Probably not for a booklet, although they are nice

When it comes to additional films, it all depends on what they are. For example, I did get the limited Arrow sets of 'Resolution' / 'The Endless' and 'Offspring' / 'The Woman' rather than waiting for the standard release that only contained the single films. However, I went for the steelbox version of the 'Gamera: Heisei Era' set with three films instead of going for the more expensive four disc set

Similarly, I only tend the get the deluxe Alice Cooper CD releases which contain the live DVD's instead of the standard CD only releases

Pumpkinhead aka Vengeance the Demon has been submitted and passed uncut by the BBFC.

It's been a couple of years since I saw Pumpkinhead, a film I have seen and enjoyed a few times. As it is one I have upgraded to Blu-ray by buying the Shout! Factory release, this is good news for those who don't have it or find the cost of importing prohibitive.

The shout factory's picture quality for pumpkinhead was vastly superior to previous releases, so if u haven't got that one and this is the same print then it's definitely worth getting.

Just got Shout's 4K release of Pumpkinhead. Wonder if Second Sight are doing a 4K release, or even if it's blu-ray, will it have some unique extras that can tempt me to buy it again.

Ditto – a 4K release will be very difficult to pass on.
