"What was once called “fiendish” (Orlando Sentinel), “an obnoxious boil” (Washington Post) and “easily one of the worst films I’ve ever seen” (Gene Siskel) is today hailed as “genius” (Junkee), “a feminist masterpiece” (Purple Revolver) and “an unapologetically weird classic” (NME): With her adult life falling apart, a distraught woman (Phoebe Cates) accidentally unleashes her imaginary childhood friend Drop Dead Fred – the late great Rik Mayall of THE YOUNG ONES in his sole U.S. comedy feature – to wreak booger-flicking, poo-smearing vengeance on those who’ve wronged her. Marsha Mason (THE GOODBYE GIRL), Tim Matheson (NATIONAL LAMPOON’S ANIMAL HOUSE) and Carrie Fisher co-star in this “untouchable post punk classic” (Den Of Geek) from the executive producer of HIGH FIDELITY and THE BIG LEBOWSKI, now scanned in 2K with all-new Special Features for the first time ever in America."

I saw that this morning on social media, they said that the company who does have the legitimate rights to the film and will be putting it out are 'friends' of Severin, so I'll be interested to find out who it is, I'm thinking it's not VS lol.

This has just popped on on Faecal-Book as a 'coming soon'

Twenty feature films. It's going to be interesting what they think is folk horror.

I don't see how they can do a set so large. It's not like any one company just released folk horror films.

Whatever is in the set it's going to cost at least £200.

The documentary mentioned is over three hours long and supposedly very good. It features heavily Blood on Satan's Claw, Witchfinder General and The Wicker Man so those three surely are in the set. It also features Lawrence Gordon Clark so perhaps some or all of the Ghost Stories for Christmas are also included.

I'd also expect Dark Waters and The Witch to be in the set.
