Btw the soundtrack has a lot of music from the "Cosmic Wind" album by The Mike Theodore Orchestra,an album I bought when I was very young and played a lot!

Crivvens! ive got another of Theodore's records...High on something Mountain...its er, interesting...

Strange move, considering he's running such a tight budget as I'm sure it would have cost more, however little, to get new artwork prepped at the printers.

The notes on the back are also different,seems some people didn't appreciate the jokes.

Btw I'm too tired to do a full review of Mardi Gras Massacre but it looked very good (even if the only available material to work from was a 1-inch tape master,which they cleaned up,according to the disclaimer).
The interview with William Metzo was interesting as well.
It's also much cheaper than the US boot.

On another note,I started watching Haunted and that transfer was really strong looking (new 1.78:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer from a very good source),if Night of the Demon comes close Reaps will be very happy.

Just pre-ordered all the October releases...

Nice ones b.

Although, I definitely think that Maria should fire her stylist.

Thanks BE!
On the subject of Maria,she sometimes interacts with Bill (off camera) in her bits.
I've started warming up to her...

Bill just stated this:
"Maria will be doing more skits including several ones where I will be receiving physical violent punishments from her!.(:"
Bill is making the most of this deal it seems.

that night of the demon cover is stopping me buying it,,the german HB's are the way to go

Each to his own but I'm expecting the CR release to have better pic quality/audio and maybe some nice extras.
Just ask Reaps (probably the biggest fan on here) about his opinion (pic quality/audio) on the German Retrofilm release.

I've heard that the image quality on those hardbox releases is supposed to be terrible.

There's also something wrong with the English audio according to what I've read.
I'm certain Reaps can give more details.

A little heads up,according to Bill...these titles will be discontinued "real soon".

Blade (1973) / Ring of Death (1969) - Double Feature
Cut Throats Nine (1972) / Joshua (1976) - Lawless Land Double Feature

Maybe these will be discontinued as well then?
Godfather Squad, The (1974) / Bruce's Last Battle - Mafia Martial Arts Mayhem
Stoney (1969) / Killer Likes Candy, The (1968) - Double Feature

I actually pre-ordered these because I was expecting something like this...
