Well, looks like I kinda get my wish about AB releasing the Vol. 1 discs separately:
Supposed to come out late October. Now I just gotta work on Girl Who Knew Too Much...
Oh, and one question: does anyone know if AB has the rights to all of Bava's movies--specifically, Blood and Black Lace and Hatchet for the Honeymoon? Will those be in Vol. 3, or do I have to seek out older releases?
EDIT: Looks like Black Sunday is coming out separately on the same day, too:

This is the first time that I think I'm going to let financial obligations slide to buy DVDs this season!

Anchor Bay only has the rights to the ones produced by Alfred Leone and I don't believe Blood and Black lace is one of them. Hatchet, yes.

Seems silly to avoid buying a dirt-cheap set just because you can't figure out how to rid yourself of the other titles.

Nice to see the new set is getting 8 films. Not nice to see one of them is Kidnapped. I assume this is going to be the same single disc they released earlier this year with both cuts of the film?

Most likely... I don't understand why they just didn't include it with Volume 1. Doesn't make much sense.
But for 35 bucks for 8 films, I'm not complaining.

I want as many as possible too, but I don't like this business of releasing one seperately and sticking it to the people that buy it. I have Kidnapped sitting three feet away from me and it's already going to be sold now because there's no way I'm not getting this second volume. I think I'll just wait on Erik until the third volume is announced.

I'll be interested in the transfer quality of BARON BLOOD and FOUR TIMES THAT NIGHT...the IMAGE DVD for the latter was terrible but I haven't noticed that the Anchor Bay discs are substantially better so far. They ARE a remarkable bargain though for sure.
I guess the AIP versions of these films will probably never get a DVD release proper. I really would love to hear Karloff's own voice in BLACK SABBATH...
-sigh-
It looks like the single releases for BLACK SABBATH and BLACK SUNDAY have nothing additional added beyond the versions in the box set....who in their right mind would fork out $20 (list, of course) for these when the box set is SOOOO cheap?
