I really hope it’s not a pain in the ass to buy a copy.

Does anyone else display their Dead Pit slipcover in their wheelchair people bathroom?

Ah, I remember my first purchase with the Dark Forces as well...

From TripleHBK's post of DF FB, it looks like "yes".

This was another popular item back in it's day:

So, do these covers ship with a MSDS?

Which means you'll miss out on the upcoming ATOR, MIRROR MIRROR, DRIVE-IN #7, THE BANKER and many more including the mystery title we will be announcing that is a big 70's cult horror movie that we just acquired the original 35mm negative. In closing, we know these movies are awesome but having to wait a week for shipping won't kill you.

Just curious what orders you are currently shipping? Ordered Gates of Hell on 8/16. My order number is 4312. Thanks!

Hey Nosferatu this is Tom the Dark Force General Manager, we are currently serving order #4241. We have been approximately a little over a week behind with the shipments due to the previous heavy volume of sales for DEAD PIT, GATES OF HELL and BREEDERS Collector's Editions. The Dark Force Superstore remains closed until all the orders are caught up. Yours should be up for processing by some point tomorrow. We apologize for the delays.

I like the Mirror Mirror art - kinda reminds me of an 80's Italian horror poster, like Ghosthouse. Is that original or commissioned art?

No problem. Thanks for the update.

I watched Drive-In #6 over the weekend and I have to say I enjoyed it immensely. I've seen a zillion exploitation movies at this point, but my jaw was still on the floor during Linnea Quigley's scene at the end of PSYCHO. So...so...so...wrong! The rest of the movie is wonderfully ridiculous. Nice selection of intermission ads (although I think I've seen all of them on various Sinister Cinema drive-in double features, it was nice seeing them in HD). I know this is a mocked opinion, but I loved seeing GATES with the 'drive-in' print. It was legitimately creepy watching a (slightly) battered print with the fog and tombstones and hanging priests and maggots and guts. My favorite Fulci and I enjoyed watching it this way.

I bought the 2-pack with BREEDERS, but I still have to watch that one. Hopefully I have as much fun as I did with #6.

I see you took my advice on better customer service responses.

I’m actually digging that Mirror Mirror art work, minus the crappy blood on the title.

[bsend]

Maybe we can get a Mirror Mirror 1 & 2 bundle for a decent price that is over the free shipping threshold.

Dave has confirmed a couple times on Facebook that a bundle would be available. I have to think it would be in the $44.95 - $49.95 range but we'll find out more as the release progresses.

Yeah, I’m liking it too. I’d never seen this specific art before but didn’t think DF really did commissioned pieces. After a little digging, it appears it was used on a German VHS release.

This slip would look great if the embossing was done right, and it didn't have this horrible GitD nonsense on it. Or if the GitD was just on the title or something. It's a shame.

Was going to say I'm in no hurry, take your time. After 4 weeks though, I'll come a knockin. I sometimes have to work 17 to 18 hour days, so I know what it's like.

Did Tom get fired already?

That’s exactly what I think whenever I peruse this thread, which I do in the same way I might look at a train wreck. No matter what the product is, if it’s not a necessity for staying alive, I could never envision having such low self-respect to actually pay someone who blatantly treats me like crap. If it’s all just one big wrestling type farce as one of our moderators contends, so be it, I just don’t find it entertaining enough to pay for it. I understand folks want what they want and may have a higher threshold for such behavior, but I personally would have a hard time living with myself for enabling anyone that seemingly has no ethics whatsoever. Well, live and let live.

Don't assume that the entire customer base follows this thread and Dave's antics on Facebook. Personally, all I care about is that they continue to put out movies I want to see and send my discs when I order them.
