The 88 Films Thread

I also received the three newest releases, none of which I have seen but am really looking forward to watching over the next few days, twice if you include the commentary on Just Before Dawn.

"A #tiny announcement for Friday!!

Prolific B-movie maverick Bill Rebane (THE GIANT SPIDER INVASION) opted for some contemporary 'real world' horror carnage and caught wind of the slice and dice craze with his classic BLOOD HARVEST (1987). Unleashed at a time when the slasher movie was awash with sequels, BLOOD HARVEST stood out thanks to a lunatic performance from Tiny Tim (the legendary American television personality who offers up a creepy and instantly-cult sing-song scene as well). Featuring a masked man on the rampage, twists and turns that will keep you glued to the gore and a final reel that packs in plenty of sadism and shocks, BLOOD HARVEST gets its HD worldwide premiere from the celluloid plasma-addicts at 88 Films!!!

The harvest has begun... and the pre-orders will be live soon!

Me neither, but that's been the case with quite a few from the Slasher, Italian, and (all of) the Asia collections. I don't think I've been disappointed by any of the releases (there have been some which are second, third or fourth tier films, so I knew what I was getting) and, because I like to broaden my horizons, will buy this when it's available.

Neither but I'm sold on both artworks, Tiny Tim, and clowns

I've heard of it, pretty sure it's in one of my slasher books, but I've never seen it

Some classic when no one's ever heard of it.

They should really drop the word classics from the range title.

NO doubt it's going to be a forthcoming 'BIG ANNOUNCEMENT' from 88Films regarding a new sub-label

In addition to:

• 88 Vault
• 88 Asia
• Slashers Collection
• Italian Collection
• Ted V. Mikels Collection
• Grindhouse Collection
• Cult Cinema Collection

we will get the 'I-saw-this-once-on-VHS-back-in-the-80's,-but-no-one-else-has-ever-heard-of-it,-but-it's-a-really-good-film' collection

they should be marketing this to the hipsters "it's not mainstream so it's good"

I don't think it really matters if nobody has heard of it, there's plenty of people who'll buy anything they put out regardless of what it is
