I hope you don't think Lost Boys: The Tribe sucks (Pun intended) as i'm thinking my review, as well as the low price, probably influenced your purchase.

I'll be watching third film The Thirst either tomorrow (Friday) or Saturday night.

I’ve been wanting to buy it for ages actually and my expectations are low. It used to be in a box with three full sized cases inside which put me off buying it to be honest. But it’s never been so cheap so it was the right time.

Good stuff arrived in the last couple of days!

Madhouse (1974) with Vincent Price and Peter Cushing -- what could be better? Well... Price, Cushing and Lee, pls see below. Oddly, hadn't upgraded it Blu-ray yet and the Del Valle commentary may be interesting.

Scream and Scream Again (1970) is a triple treat: Lee, Price and Cushing! The new Radiance edition promises a new transfer, and there is an absolute abundance of extras to dive into.

Raumpatrouille Orion (1964) was one of my favourite TV series when I was a kid, along with Space 1999, Star Trek, Tomorrow People and Blake's 7. Amazon described it with English subtitles, but I couldn't find any, so it's basically useless as I don't speak German (my German is enough only to navigate a stamp catalog). Also the package was open and the discs loose and had the odd scratch. A mess! Requested a refund, which they gave me, with no need to return the DVDs, so it was basically free.

El Juramento del Corsario Negro (1976), or The Black Corsair is another treat from my childhood. I read all the Salgari books and there was even a trading cards collection based on the film, which I still have. Watched it yesterday and aged quite well, it's still a wonderful adventure. Kabir Bedi is the perfect Sandokan and the perfect Corsaro Nero. I wish they had filmed more of the books!
This Spanish edition has the Spanish & Italian audio, with English subtitles. I know there is an English audio version, and maybe someone will remaster the English version any day soon. But it's not very likely...

Thank you for reading!

Fair enough. If you don't like the sequels my conscience is clear.

I'm used to wasting my money I wouldn't worry about it

It is, Wicked Vision release. There are 3 covers, each limited to 333 copies.

This is the reverse. Rather unusual, with just the image. I won't be using it...

With Radiance releasing Scream and Scream Again i'm kind of convinced Madhouse will be coming from them too.

I'll be happy to buy it from them too, especially if they add more extras and the 2015 Del Valle commentary from the Kino release. This Wicked Vision has a different commentary by Del Valle, but it's with Phoef Sutton and was recorded in 2020.

If the Wicked Vision is from 2020, I'm not expecting another release at least until 2025, right?
