I've already got Witchhammer, Viy, Dark Waters, A Field in England, Penda's Fen and Robin Redbreast so it's not much of a temptation for me.

Plus some of those are not my idea of what folk horror is either.

I agree actually, and also have a few of the titles already elsewhere. The temptation is there but it's not very strong. I do want the documentary though, I believe it is very good, it's also clocks in at 192 minutes!

"HOUSE ON THE EDGE OF THE PARK replacement:

We've been working on a replacement disc of HOTEOTP for the last few weeks due to an export error which affected the color density of the feature. We should have the discs in hand this month and will be automatically sending them out to everyone who ordered the movie from our webstore. You do not need to write in to get the replacement disc -- the title has not received a wider release yet and once it does it will be the corrected version. For those who picked the title up at a convention please write to REPLACEMENT@SEVERIN-FILMS.COM for instructions on how to get your replacement.

We love you. We love you all."

Yes, it’s very good, with some very raw and excellent performances.
Lead actress Linda Manz gives a terrific performance, while Dennis Hopper is at his out of control best. Definitely worth a watch.

The disc looks stacked with extras. I'll add it to the old wishlist.

'Hey, Stop Stabbing Me!' (2003) - Pre-order available from Severin Films direct - $20:00

Release date: April 26

"Long before they became big-time Hollywood players with DORM DAZE, GOLAN THE INSATIABLE and the SONIC THE HEDGEHOG movies, 20-year-old producer / co-writer/director Josh Miller and producer / co-writer/star Pat Casey spent the summer of 2000 with $500, a MiniDV cam and a group of friends in Bloomington, MN creating what remains the most insanely accomplished – and long-out-of-print – comedy/horror hit of the SOV era. It’s a deranged suburban saga of hole diggers, serial killers, nympho girlfriends, clothes-stealing monsters and lawn mower murders that Film Threat calls “goofy and funny with charm to spare, filled with ideas both creative and bizarre.” Intervision is proud to present this justifiable cult favorite now lovingly remastered in HD with all-new reunion featurettes, audio commentaries, short films and much more.
