You mean The Beast Must Die, right? The Beast Within is an early-80's monster film.

Oops. Yeah, I meant The Beast Must Die. Just mistyped.

Argh! I've been trying to log in so that I can buy this stupid thing, but none of the passwords are correct, my email is registered so I cant create a new account and none of the Reset Password mails are showing up.

Damnit! I want to lock this thing in, too. Guess I'll try from work in the morning or something.

It was distributed in NA by Alpha Home Video but there are probably other releases of similiar ilk available.
At about 190 minutes, it is rather an exhaustive doc on the studio's history and excellent information wrt all the films produced.
Highly recommended.

For those who like to read, I can recommend this issue of Little Shoppe of Horrors magazine for a good, in-depth history of Amicus.

A few extra hoops for those of us living outside the USA to jump through but I may try an order regardless. Looks like an excellent publication!

I learned long ago to ignore trying to log-in to my original Severin account. If you type in the wrong e-mail or password more than two times, you will be locked out indefinitely, and there's no way to get back in. Severin's site regarding log-ins is really frustrating, true.

Hopefully you have an alternate e-mail? If so, just go in as a "guest" every time (most of your info will be remembered as you fill in the info) and it's easy as pie. Been a "guest" for many easy purchases since.

I’ve only seen the beast must die and I really enjoyed it. Tempted to pick up this collection. Are the other movies in the set good?

Well personally, I'd say "TBMD" is the weakest of the three so if you enjoyed it, then "Asylum" and "Screaming" should please you.

The other films are far superior to Beast.

does this have a real possibility of selling out or do i have some room to wait

It shouldn't sell out for a while, but Severin has yet to really confirm whether it is an exclusive or will be available in the retail sector.

javi92 · 10-23-2017, 09:57 AM

The only thing keeping me from preordering this is the thought that Arrow might come out with an announcement at the end of the week bettering this.

Jaymole · 10-23-2017, 11:59 AM

Smart marketing move by Severin to pair Peter Cushing with Milton Subotsky & Max Rosenberg on the box cover as that will help sell more of the sets.

NoirFan · 10-23-2017, 01:48 PM

^
I was wondering who those other two guys were!

Member-222782 · 10-23-2017, 02:28 PM

The Beast Must Die is the cream of the crop in this collection for me. I blind bought the other titles on DVD many years ago and don't actually remember much about the films. Usually that means they didn't make an impression on me. Glad to revisit them in HD, though, and give them another chance.

God, what a pain in the ass. I guess I could use my work email address or go bang out a gmail address real fast. That or hang on and see if Diabolik gets the set. . . .

Thanks for the heads up.

The limited box set will be available through other retailers for those still wondering... Severin confirmed it on Facebook earlier. It's not an exclusive to their webstore.

Irrelevant to me now anyway, got sick of waiting and ordered direct.

Pecker · 10-24-2017, 09:52 AM

Glad to hear Asylum is coming.

I believe that just leaves The House that Dripped Blood and From Beyond the Grave left of the anthologies.
