Bought them both today. Have to say that I haven't been disappointed with any of these AGFA release, probably because I buy them knowing exactly what i'm going to get. Case in point, I watched Barry J. Gillis' Things on The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs, so know exactly what to expect with Wicked World.

Ok, I did give it a quick spin, and yes, it is visually superior (but that's not saying a lot )

Hence the emphasis I have a few of Gillis' things now. They are all their own genre imho.

NEW TO THE BLACK LABEL 101 Films presents Ghostwatch (1992), a BBC production that terrified Britain on 31st October 1992, released on Blu-ray for the first time. Despite being part of BBC Drama's Screen One series, the presence of trusted presenters, along with the quality of the production, convinced thousands of people that the events depicted on screen were genuine, and taking place live. Title 028 on the 101 Films Black Label, this 30th anniversary edition includes a new documentary on the making of Ghostwatch, a new commentary, limited edition packaging featuring newly commissioned artwork, a booklet with new writing on the film and more. An inspiration to a generation of filmmakers, and years ahead of the profusion of found footage movies that would follow, Ghostwatch is regarded as a classic of the genre and remains as relevant, as terrifying, and as inspirational today. GHOSTWATCH Released 31st October 2022 Sarah Greene and Craig Charles report from a reputedly haunted London home for the outside broadcast, while Michael Parkinson and Mike Smith stay in the warmth and "safety" of a BBC studio. The Early family are allegedly being harassed by the ghost 'Pipes', so named as his banging and crashing were initially attributed to bad plumbing. After a deliberately slow start the tension gradually builds, culminating in a terrifying crescendo. Although entirely fictional, the masterly combination of great scripting, intuitive direction and perfect casting made the supernatural pastiche appear frighteningly real. SPECIAL FEATURES • ‘Do You Believe In Ghosts?’, a brand new 30th anniversary documentary on the Ghostwatch phenomenon • Commentary with film historians Shellie McMurdo and Stella Gaynor • Commentary with writer Stephen Volk, producer Ruth Baumgarten and director Lesley Manning • Shooting Reality by Lesley Manning • Limited Edition Booklet: Includes ‘Extra Sensory Perception Management’ by Sarah Appleton, ‘Ghostwatch – As it Happened’ by Tim Murray and short story ‘31/10’ by Ghostwatch writer Stephen Volk • Reproduced script, annotated by director Lesley Manning • Set of six art cards • Newly commissioned artwork

Perhaps shamefully, I've never seen Ghost Watch, so that looks like a stellar release to rectify that and provide me with some new viewing for Halloween.
