I'm sure those will sell like hotcakes.

I'm guessing a Farmer Funko had too costly an entry, so this was the contingency.

As perplexed as I am that anyone would desire to be referred to as "demon", aside from excusing a rather questionable moral compass, I've to admit, this guy's marketing grit is reckless to the point of being amusing.

Coming up Drive-In 23 is quite cool with the gory slasher filled Doctor Death and Young Hannah. The Farmer 4K mega-release is going to be epic. Terror Circus in 4K has a lot of violent slasher horror. If you haven't picked up Hundra I highly recommend it. High production value and more action fantasy than horror but a lot of very brutal slasher killings. Anyway thanks for the post and there will be a lot of exciting things to come as always from Dark Force.

Looks like Terror Vision has some big titles coming out including an Oscar Winner, and also announced Rumpelstiltskin last week, which was huge, and super exciting. I'm really looking forward to more from that label and with Dark Force I'll be picking up four, or five titles in December. I will also be picking up those new slasher flicks Dave that you plan to release later this year, and next year. Anyways, Dave do you have any plans to put out some old 90s-early 2000s creature horror flicks that don't have Blu-Rays yet? Like say Komodo, Bats, the Carnosaur films, Sabretooth, and others I really would like to see a label put these out as apparently Shout! Factory has almost no plans to put these out.

The Farmer is getting a UHD?

Sounds like they should just forgo the legal expenses to spend on the very expenses upcoming releases.

There's an oceans divide between what Dave values for $200 and what anyone else would. I'm really tempted to put the money down, but It's just going to lead to disappointment.

C'mon Willie you must have faith in the Demon! The Chase Boxes are filled to the top with movies and definitely at least twice the 100 dollar price of the box. Not to mention some of them have some hidden very valuable OOP titles. And I just added a DVD/VHS Mystery Box packed to the top for 50 dollars and also containing a much higher value. So if you do decide to take a chance you definitely won't be disappointed.

So when are the Labor Day pre-orders for Kong Island and Drive-In #23 expected to ship?

Drive-In #23: YOUNG HANNAH/DOCTOR DEATH took a little longer than expected. It is a drive-in double feature with a very elaborate dual sided Glow in the Dark slipcover. It is currently finishing up in replication and will be done on or before 10-28 at which time all pre-orders will be shipped. You have to be a little patient sometimes Biggie. Good things never come fast and this release is exceptional. We found an excellent YOUNG HANNAH 35mm drive-in print that really looks awesome. You'll feel like you are watching it at the drive-in during that incredibly surreal era when those movies ruled the giant screen.

Labels have enough trouble with obsessive nitpickers - they don’t need to add to that with complaints of scratches ON the film itself lol. Personally I would’ve loved a Grindhouse line.

It was Sony, not Kino.

I do! I ended up ordering one. I get a lot of the titles that you release, also there was some overlap. It was a really good deal as I got one on the Chase boxes. There were 10 titles total, with one being the Redemption DVD with the accompanying VHS tape.

Went on their website this morning and got this:

That's great Willie, glad you were satisfied with what you received in the chase box. And thanks for having faith in the dark forces.

The website appears to be back up and running again today! Hopefully the issue has been resolved so we can continue to enjoy more goodies.

They just shipped Young Hannah.

Well well well looks like a war is happening and the guilty party being Synapse has begun, and well looks like there was a lawsuit against a lot of big companies including the company I still work for Walmart. This should be interesting Synapse needs to answer for the lawsuit they made against all these companies its not right.
