There's a loophole at work there. Bloodsucking Freaks, to the best of my knowledge, has never been presented to the BBFC. Therefore it's not a banned or restricted work and can therefore be shown in its entirety. If it gets submitted and trimmed, then that's the version that has to be broadcast. TV is a weird medium in that under current legislation, you can't complain about a programme until after it's shown, not before. And I think some broadcasters hedge their bets on that one. I remember watching Natural Born Killers on Channel 5 before it was available on video and the country managed not to descend into anarchy!!

So, in summary, I think you'll find that as long as the film doesn't contain images that breach the law, and it hasn't been presented to the BBFC, it can be shown in its uncut form.

Anyway, I digress...

I quite like Rick's artwork for this one. I certainly prefer it to Inferno's artwork anyway.

Quick repost...
The corpse is a bit too much I think,the approved artwork looks less busy and more classy due to the use of more black.
But that's just my opinion.

How about some more pics of the other artwork then Almar?

[Almar@Cult Labs]

Quite right! I've been wading through and trying to organise a load of news that I need to release and confirm etc so will get onto this as part of it - I actually need to fill out a planner to get this right!

For years I've looked at that corpse on the ABUS disc,so it's nice to see a refreshing change.

Don'r want to put a downer on this long awaited superb release , but the only disappointing thing about Arrow releases is the artwork .
There's usually 1 out of the 4 choices that is ok but generally I'm not impressed and the whole appearance is undermined by the white packaging .

It does mean Arrow releases are easy to spot from a distance but when you get them they don't really look that good.

If the intention is to make them stand out then it works very well, but if the intention is to make them look good it fails , but keep up the artwork choices as we do need them.

I remember being horrified at the artwork that greeted me for Inferno , but I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw I was able to change it.
