Stephen liking my last post is either a confirmation that I am right, or a cruel ploy to get me thinking I am!

I really enjoyed it. Some great interviews too. Cassandra Petersen (Elvira) being a highlight for me.

We'll be announcing 4 incredibly exciting slasher collection blu-rays soon not available anywhere else. Watch this space!!

Guess away at what they might be and you never know we might give a few hints...

They don't seem to have given anything away yet, as far as I know. I've made my hopes pretty clear to them. For anyone interested:

Terror On Tour (1980)
The Slayer (1982)
Death Screams - aka House Of Death (1982)
Don’t Go To Sleep (1982)
Superstition (1982)
Next Of Kin (1982)
Sweet Sixteen (1983)
Chopping Mall (1986)
You Will Die At Midnight (1986)
Hide And Go Shriek (1988)

A few very unlikely candidates, but I enjoy all of these, and some have had little to no presence on DVD in the UK. Some have had DVD releases so bad, they might as well not have bothered.

I wonder since Lions Gate seem to be licensing out (at least they did with Arrow), if 88 Films would be able to get the original My Bloody Valentine from them. They seem to have no interest in releasing it in the UK. I assume they have the rights as the Paramount DVD went out of print (although is still available for sale) around the time they put the remake out. As it's out of print (although again, still available to buy) in the US, it might be a nice addition, especially if they can get some interesting extras together. One of the classics in the subgenre as far as I'm concerned, and easily worthy of a place in a slasher collection, regardless of whether it's been available on the format before or not.

Some interesting titles there.

Personally, where slashers are concerned, I'd love to see:

Alone in the Dark, American Gothic, Angst, Blood Diner, The Centerfold Girls, The Driller Killer, Evil Dead Trap, Eyes of a Stranger, Fade to Black, Hell Night, Next of Kin, Retribution, Silent Night Bloody Night... among others.

blood diner is overdue a uk release, but i've always kind of hoped it would get an arrow release

Evil Dead Trap 3 is a pure giallo film, I want this released by who ever, along with Biotherapy too. There are so many great Japanese films just waiting for a bold label to release them.
