NEW UK, US & CAN TITLE: 'Elvira: Mistress of the Dark' - Limited Edition 4K UHD pre-order available from Arrow Films direct - UK$22.00 Release date: November 11 "She's back! Elvira, Horrorland's hostess with the mostest, finally busts out on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray with this long-awaited, positively bursting-at-the-seams special edition of her big screen debut, Elvira: Mistress of the Dark! Having just quit her job as a Los Angeles TV horror hostess, Elvira receives the unexpected news that she's set to inherit part of her great aunt Morgana's estate. Arriving in the small town of Fallwell, Massachusetts to claim her inheritance, Elvira receives a less than enthusiastic reception from the conservative locals - amongst them, her sinister uncle Vincent, who, unbeknownst to Elvira, is in fact an evil warlock secretly scheming to steal the old family spellbook for his own nefarious ends... Campy, quirky and stuffed to the brim with more double entendres than your average Carry On movie, 1988's Elvira: Mistress of the Dark helped solidify the horror hostess (played by Cassandra Peterson) as a major pop culture icon, here owning every inch of the screen with her quick wit, sass, and of course, cleaving-enhancing gown!" Special features:
I don't have a 4K player, so this is pointless to me. Regardless of that, I already have the original Blu-Ray release

NEW UK, US & CAN TITLE: 'Tomie' - Limited Edition Blu-ray pre-order available from Arrow Films direct - UK$18.00 Release date: November 18 "Based on the smash-hit series of the same name by cult manga artist Junji Ito (Uzumaki), Tomie tells the tale of an evil high-school seductress identifiable by a beauty mark beneath her left eye, whose bewitching kiss drives men to madness. Photography student Tsukiko (Mami Nakamura, Tokyo Trash Baby, Love Exposure) is plagued by violent dreams as she struggles to recall long-suppressed memories following a teenage trauma with the help of psychiatrist Dr. Hosono (Yoriko Douguchi, Cure, Charisma). Meanwhile, as Detective Harada (Tomoro Taguchi, Tetsuo: The Iron Man) leads an investigation into a missing high-school girl, he discovers a long line of similar cases that can be traced back decades, with all of the victims going by the name of Tomie Kawakami, and all slaughtered and decapitated by jealous lovers before they reach womanhood. Meanwhile, Tsukiko's new neighbor seems to be harboring something nasty in the downstairs apartment, something which rapidly begins to take on a dangerous form. Tomie is a creepy supernatural chiller directed by Ataru Oikawa (screenwriter of the pioneering Japanese horror Door) and featuring a chilling turn by the sensational Miho Kanno (Eko Eko Azarak: Wizard of Darkness, Dolls). Arrow Video is proud to present this key title from the J-Horror boom of the late 1990s, which spawned a string of sequels, for the first time on Blu-ray outside of Japan, with a host of newly produced extras."

This is one I will possibly pick up at some point in the future

I know people express their despair with Arrow each month, but this set of announcements is truly the worst they've made so far I think. And as much as I love Elvira, that film doesn't need a 4k, it's a low budget 80s film, the Blu already looks great. It'll be like Weird Science where the 4k disc actually made the film look worse than the previously released 4k remastered Blu.

I really enjoyed A Simple Plan when i saw it as the final film on my cinema day in Orlando. However that was back in 98 and i haven't seen it since. My cinema day which was a respite from theme parks, space centre's and sea worlds consisted of - Payback Virus My Favourite Martian A Simple Plan In that order. |

Is that the same Virus with Jamie Lee Curtis? Something about aliens if I remember correctly I do like a cinema day on holiday though, I remember going to see Dick Tracy in Torquay when that came out.
