[returnofthemack]

Yes!!!

[samdvd1]

I'll be ordering this as soon as it hits Amazon.

[MechaGodzilla]

Oh yes.

[CouncilSpectre]

Awesome, I'll be all over this

[Oscar Rothman]

Arrow is killing it!

[rybev]

Excellent! Hellraiser has always been a trilogy to me, so this box set will be perfect.

[returnofthemack]

First 3 hellraiser are the best but I always enjoy bloodlines as well. Too bad that couldn't have been included but it rally doesn't matter. Helllraiser is truly one of the greatest horror movies ever in my opinion and parts 2 and 3 are pretty respectable (maybe 2 more so then 3). Just placed my preorder from arrow, glad I had some points to use. I seriously can't wait to have this in my hands.

[McCrutchy]

I'm just glad they included the third one, as I'm sure it was tempting to discard it and focus solely on the first two films. I'm well aware that Hell on Earth is nowhere near as beloved as its predecessors, but I just love seeing Doug Bradley in a lengthy, meaty role, and obviously, the Motörhead tune (and accompanying music video featuring Bradley as Pinhead) is kick-ass.

I also wonder if we will get the VHS footage in the uncut version restored to 2K glory.

[PuppetMasterBlu]

Oh thank god! I almost ordered the Japanese trilogy but im so glad I was too broke.

[RodChester]

This looks to be quite an impressive set. I'll be getting this for sure. Hopefully the high quality packaging and hard bound book don't put too much of a premium on the price.

Edit: Just clicked on the Arrow link and saw the list price. About $77 so it'll probably be between $50 to $60 on Amazon. Not a bad price at all.

I see. I thought the list was £49.99. Oh well. Not a great price but not horrible either. List is pretty high though.

Yeah £70 for three old movies. As much as I love all three, I'd never pay £70

[insomniac013]

I really just want the first one, but those special features sound amazing!

£70?! Come on, if I'm selling a kidney it's not going to be for Hellraiser 3!

You do get a hardbound 200-page book though. As with the Hoskins and Poe boxes, I could definitely see these getting individual releases at a later date.

[ravenus]

Pre-ordered at Arrow. My finger's still shaking over what I done.

[Lacrymosa]

I was expecting just the first Hellraiser to receive a nice release like Society, TCM 2 etc had from Arrow, so not only did they not disappoint, but I think I'm a little bit blown away.
