Awesome! And a new Nero intro? I'm sold. Glad to see they're also included The Last Pistolero that was on the bonus disc from the DVD.

I've been patiently waiting for a Blu-ray release of The Prowler. So happy to hear it's officially in the works.

Prowler is cool and all, but Lustig needs to get working on his top-tier titles asap. Where's Maniac?

I emailed Blue Underground to thank them for the best news I've heard all year: City of the Living Dead and Prowler. After I was through smoochin' their buns, I asked them what happened to Maniac, and they responded:
We are currently working on a brand new HD transfer of MANIAC, which will be released as a 30th Anniversary Edition Blu-ray later this year. Details will be announced on our website in the coming months.

I can't believe how good The New York Ripper looks in 1080p. Wow. What a revelation. The BD and the 2009 SE DVD put the 1999 Anchor Bay DVD and the 2008 Blue Underground DVD to shame.

I'd love to see Kathryn Bigelow's the Loveless released on Blu, especially with all the attention she's receiving for Hurt Locker.
