My copy of Antho arrived a couple weeks ago, and am now waiting for my order of American Ninja and Zombie Holocaust to arrive. ![]() As far as I'm concerned, that 42nd street documentary on Anthro was worth the price alone! ![]()

Just got my copy of "A Blade in the Dark". Haven't watched the disc yet, but I'm instantly quite disappointed by the "Collectible poster artcard" that they mention in the back of the case. It is just a thin flimsy piece of paper that was already bent to hell. What happened to the sturdy cardboard ones?? Don't get all cheap on us 88 Films... |

Calum was very unhappy about Arrow licensing a few slashers and encroaching on 88's market, but the white framed Italian releases are quite similar to old Arrow, and these art cards are just a blatant rip off right down to the grid of other releases on the back

88 approached Jack Hill some months ago asking about the chance to sign The Swinging Cheerleaders (a personal fave of mine). We backed off when Jack Hill explained that, despite their offer being better, he was already speaking to Arrow. We rightly told him in that case it was not our place to get involved. Arrow did the exact opposite with Madman (a film they told me in 2012 was worthless to them and which they had months to sign after the Vinegar Syndrome announcement but only showed interest when 88 was at contract stage) and The Mutilator. But even in these cases I really do not care. Fact is that Arrpw pays high wages to an office full of folks whose ideas clearly involve trolling what I was doing for 88. The fallout with Arrow came over the way Naomi and I were treated by the label manager and Alex Agran the head of the company. I helped to build Arrow Video and my, and Naomi's, eventual thanks was to be told we were effectively worthless to them. And this was after years of being made to feel "lowbrow" as Arrow tried desperately to shed their splatter movie roots. There was, and I have said this before, reasons of class and elitism that I perceive to be a part of this. Regardless, I could care less what they sign (doubtlessly including backtracking through old emails to find my tip offs on Hellraiser from Lakeshore and Ulli Lommel's Tenderness of Wolves) - I just draw a line at derogatory treatment of the people who helped get you to where you are. |

![]() Your incessant ranting about Arrow suggests otherwise, your High Rising FB page seems practically dedicated to it.

I didn't mean to start shit here, all I meant was to say that Arrow went and pinched some of 88's ideas and attempted contracts or whatever they were (I was trying to summarize the situation in the original post as I've heard the details numerous times), and then 88 go and do a similar sleeve to early Arrow and an identical post card series. ![]() ![]()

Either way the answer here is simple: don't follow us on Facebook. Cheers. |
