"We are going to confirm the next few slasher classics on April 1st at the 88 Films FaceBook page! And yes there is a clue in there"

Has to be 'April Fools Day'!

At least Arrow films make their clues suitably cryptic!

I'd like it to be April Fools' Day, a film I haven't seen in quite a while but would like to upgrade from DVD.

Any new Italian Collection announcements forthcoming? Anyone know?

Despite the hint, I would genuinely be surprised if they were putting out April Fools Day, as it's from Paramount. I can't think of a lot else, Killer Party is with Warner, I assume. Unless Arrow have let Slaughter High go, and 88 Films have picked it up, that film was originally supposed to be called April Fools Day.

To my mind, Callum has pretty much confirmed it on FB

Someone suggested: "The original AFD is Paramount, would 88 have access to that? Maybe 88 have the rights to Slaughter High now?" and the reply came back as: "Expect a nice surprise or two!" and then: "Arrow no way want to lose rights to their back catalogue as ample $$$ in doing fresh scans where available. Their DVD of Midnight sold insane copies in the past year - probably being cheap in Fopp/ online etc but they make loads from these catalogue titles."

I think their waiting to get their current batch mastered and released before announcing new titles. Perfume has taken an age and The Mercenary has slipped too, I think their been more cautious with announcing Italian titles until they know for definite what the actual labs hold in terms of materials.
