Another "cease and desist"?

Another "cease and desist"? 

Just ran out of stuff that Universal has not already given rights for to others (like Kino) or are not issuing rights for anyone at this time.

Doesn't mean there can't be more good single discs in the future  -  I hope, I hope, I hope.

[Monsters For Sale]

Someone tell me this is not as bad as it sounds.  I'd like an excuse to add this cover to my collection.  (I know we are supposed to keep our comments family friendly...  but, HUBBA HUBBA!)

Absolutely love the art. That being said, Cushing owns this flick, and the vampires in it.... and deserves the place of prominence on the cover art he has been given.

Doesn't mean there can't be more good single discs in the future  -  I hope, I hope, I hope.

There are only 2 vault titles left, that haven't had a BD. I doubt we'll ever see the titles that have never had a home video release.

That's getting dangerously close to crossing the line!

With Tom Weaver commentary, trailers aand Roger Corman documentary

[Radioactive Rod Whitenack]

I ordered that "Attack of the Crab Monsters" Blu ray. It's limited to only 1,000, so if you want one, I wouldn't wait long.

[Mike Scott]

It's limited to only 1,0000

Is that one thousand, or ten thousand?

[Monsters For Sale]

When I placed my Scream Factory pre-order, War of the Colossal Beast and How To Make a Monster were scheduled for a release date of September 8, 2020.

I see that they are both now being listed as having a release date of November 10.


I hate it when they do that.

While there are some nice little gems in this set, to call it "The Ultimate Collection" of Hammer films is a bit of a stretch. The Ultimate Collection of B-sides would probably be a better description.
