My wife hates you Chad. Well, I guess it's my lack of will power and not you per se.....

I may bite on "Horror Express," but the reviews of this disc are so lousy I am hesitant. Thankfully, not much else other than "The Stuntman" appeals to me and I own that title already. But thanks for the head's up OP.

For those concerned with bankruptcy, one mitigating factor may be the fact that Severin ran a 60% off sale just last November for Black Friday. Even though I cleaned house with that one, I'll still have to take a look at this one just in case something slipped through the cracks. :)

FYI: Terms say it won't work on any 2016 releases, but I did get it to work for SINFUL DWARF. It will NOT work for DR. BUTCHER, tho.

We were lucky to get a true HD transfer for Horror Express at all. It's not a terrible presentation, just below average.

Why not ? In for a pack of trash :-)

Wow...I was just looking up Psychomania on IMDB the other day. That was a random VHS tape I found and watched maybe thirty years ago.
Tempted...

Re: Severin Blow-Out Sale on 5 Titles Going OOP
 
Fantastic deal. Just bought all of these at decent prices in their Black Friday (?) sale last year, but this 5-pack pricing is just too good not to grab a couple more sets for resale. Kinda bummed about this, though, as it might be the last time we'll see some of these films on disc, especially in good special editions. Twilight Time last week, now these guys -- I suppose there'll be a lot of this kind of thing in the years ahead.

Horror Express is essential for Peter Cushing fans.

Not sure if you are Region-Free but BFI is releasing a BD/DVD of Psychomania next month over in the UK.

This could be why Severin's rights are expiring.

For $6.70 apiece ($33.50 shipped), why not?

AaronSch 08-30-16 10:08 AM

Re: Severin Blow-Out Sale on 5 Titles Going OOP
 
Thank you. I just ordered "Horror Express" because of the participation of Hammer Films stars Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing. The other films just do not appeal to me. I'll receive it for 13.50 shipped.

Re: Severin Blow-Out Sale on 5 Titles Going OOP
 
Horror Express is a lot of fun, and one of the few films were Lee and Cushing work together on the side of the angels. If you do not have the film already and love Hammer horror, you should definitely pick up the release at this price.

thanks ordered Bloody Birthday/Horror Express/House of 7 Corpses mainly for Horror Express but sucker for bundle savings.

In for all, thanks Chad.

Re: Severin Blow-Out Sale on 5 Titles Going OOP
 
Of course... I just purchased Horror Express 4 months ago... for $18.50 'cause that was the cheapest I'd seen it sell and was afraid it was on the verge of selling out (Amazon had just gone through a 3-4 week period of them not having it at all) and "needed" a good copy.

The only other one I don't own is The House of Seven Corpses so I have to decide if it's worth ordering that single title for the rather meager savings (~$4) over picking it up elsewhere. I figure I'll just order it direct and give them all the profits...

Re: Severin Blow-Out Sale on 5 Titles Going OOP
 
Did anyone else receive an email from Severin after bundle order placement, asking you to verify what format of the discs you wished to order ? I thought the bundle clearly stated that with the exception of Psychomania which is a DVD, everything else was a BD or BD/DVD combo. felt strange on receipt of that email

inri222 08-30-16 02:01 PM

Re: Severin Blow-Out Sale on 5 Titles Going OOP
 
Did not receive that email. I stated in the notes section of the checkout that I wanted Blu-Ray.

A couple of them were DVD or BD, thus the need to specify.

I'm not region free, unfortunately.

Thanks inri for posting the total - I didn't order because I hate paying shipping and figured it would be expensive, but 3.50 is quite reasonable. And that they take paypal so I didn't even have to go get my wallet....argh.
Order'd!

Thanks for the link---picked up Horror Express.

Funny story about that title for me. When the DVD format first emerged, I read an article that said that DVDs would show perfect picture quality, original aspect ratio versions of films that would be light years ahead of VHS. So, I just kind of assumed that EVERY title released on DVD would be like that. I ordered a DVD of Horror Express even before I had a DVD player, and I was so excited to see this version. I got a DVD player a short while later, and put in this DVD---only to find it was a crappy, VHS quality, full-screen version of the movie. Lesson learned!

A couple were definitely DVD or BD. You had to specifically pick.
