Arrow accidentally leaked a few August titles on their website:

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning (UHD)
Poseidon (UHD)
Perpetrator

Part of me is wondering if there is anything they had to agree to contractually about each regions releases being identical or trying to block them from being imported, like the Abkco/Arrow releases of El Topo and The Holy Mountain.

The thought did cross my mind. Hopefully if that's the case, we hear about it sooner rather than later.

I’m sure all the commentary and supplement makers are salivating at the prospect of making them all different, and the gainful employment therein, such that parallel importing will continue to be encouraged amongst the die hard fans. I’m kinda with rocket1312 in thinking that Arrow will ultimately handle them better in terms of AV, but hopefully they’re not obligated to only release titles only after Shout has done so first. Torture, indeed.

Arrow is teasing the 1990 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. It’s about time someone gives that movie the proper respect. Hopefully it’s a 4K release and has some features.

No thanks I can live with my VHS copy collecting dust in a cabinet I never open.

I wonder who has Enemy Territory in the US. I’ll probably hold off a bit, I’ll get the Arrow if I have to.

Review of the new Cobra 4K. It’s short if you hate long videos.

The Good The Bad And The Ugly has been delayed to August 11th.

September teaser:




Surely this is Creepshow 2.

I’ve heard The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning is a decent prequel. Might consider it at some point as I like the 2003 remake quite a bit.

Hmm, I thought I already have Creepshow 2 from Arrow. Maybe that's just Blu-ray. Still, that's enough for me on this one. It's good, but not worth the triple dip for me.

Yeah, Arrow gave Creepshow 2 a controversial Blu-ray release -- it was framed very, very differently from prior editions -- following the initial BD from Image, I think it was. I'm enough of a sucker to, errr, quadruple-dip.

Ah, hmm maybe I will then.

Watched and reviewed thisKazakhstani film called "Steppenwolf." Post apocalyptic, awesome synth-score and tons of American and Spaghetti western tropes.

Freddy vs. Jason in September?

Apparently Cliff from Arrow said that one’s not on the table. But there is a Nightmare UHD collection coming directly from Warner in September, and maybe it’ll be a part of that set.

I don't see Freddy vs. Jason being in any Nightmare 4k collection when it's always been packaged with the Friday the 13th movies. Since Arrow has released three of the New Line Jason movies in 4k it seems obvious Freddy vs. Jason would be next.

But that only happened once and it's in the Scream Factory set. Outside of that, It may only be in the upcoming WB set since the Arrow dude already said they weren't releasing it themselves.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly is completely sold out, what?

Arrow in October:

Totally useless digression time here, so feel free to ignore. I’m not keen on that MOUTH OF MADNESS art and don’t need to upgrade the title anyway, but it is interesting seeing the film’s creepy church depicted on the cover. It’s about a ten minute drive from my apartment, and was walking distance from an ad agency I worked at nearby for several years. It’s as impressive-yet-creepy now as it was back then, only now it’s surrounded by a ‘planned community’ of cookie-cutter townhomes that makes it seem even creepier depending on the time of day – especially when you hardly ever see people around despite the area being fully occupied. I used to joke with colleagues that the residents were probably like Stepford townies who only became ambulatory when the church bells sounded . . . perhaps late at night. The whole setting still has horror movie appeal to these eyes.

YouTube travel video from 2019 that includes a brief clip from ITMOM:


The town of Hobb’s End, also known as Unionville, was itself about ten minutes from my office. It’s only ever been creepy in movies.

I'm quite the opposite -- I'm a big fan of Francavilla's artwork. He posted that cover on his Instagram page and says it's his first collaboration with Arrow and hopes to do more work for them in the future.

I'm probably going to just order Ms. 45, Spawn, and ITMOM 4Ks. I like the slipcover for The Sadness but I already have the non-slipcase VS 4K, so don't want to buy it again just for the artwork.
