No horror from Indicator in October. Guys you slay me

[markchro]

Just worked out what a future release will be! I'm usually terrible at working them out!

Michael Dunn in the photo, must be Madigan.

I'm hoping one day that The Mutations/Freakmaker could get the Indicator treatment.

Excellent set of releases. Midway, Grey Lady Down and Macarthur are certain purchases.

Hello. I’m new to Cult-Labs, and excited to be here. Does anyone have any up to date into on this upcoming release. I heard that it was being released sometime this year, but no official announcement was made. I know that Kim Newman has contributed a essay for this release. I also got an email directly from Indicator/Powerhouse saying that it’s definitely coming.

There is no recent information. The last thing I heard (think it might have been on the Hammer on Bluray Facebook Page) was from Michael Brooke who said words to the effect that it would be released later in the year, in a period that was more of a traditional time for horror releases.

I took that to mean around Halloween but Indicator have made horror releases in November too.

We'll just have to be patient I guess...
