I've got 95% of what Arrow have released on blu already and I try to avoid buying steelbooks if I can so that's me out of the running. Be nice if someone on here wins it though.

I've bought almost everything on the Academy label including a pre-order on the Borowcyzk collection & Salvatore Giuliano. So I've laid out a fair bit of cash on Arrow merchandise.

I'm not twisting as such Michael, just thought it might be fairer to Arrow devotees to make it accessible across the board.

Truth be known, I'd flog all the horror garb to fund future Academy blu-rays. I haven't the stomach for Fulci etc .

You don't have to watch 'em. Just buy the 6 steelies for the chance to win then flip 'em.

I can't help but wonder, looking at some of the more fervent Steelbook obsessives, if the tickets are included post production and re-sealed, if someone will end up getting a release with a ticket, only to send it back because it looks as though it's been re-sealed.

I've also seen someone in the Steelbook forum claim to buy two of everything, one to keep sealed and one to watch. Imagine if the ticket is stuck inside the one to keep sealed!

I have everything I want from Arrow Video, so it's not much use to me, but hopefully at least one will find its way to a needy cause.

There's only one golden ticket. If I was a betting man I'd guess the winner probably works at the zavvi distribution place.

Arrow Video is extremely proud to unveil not one but TWO as yet-unannounced forthcoming titles! SUBMITTED FOR YOUR APPROVAL: from the master Italian schlock, Ovidio G. Assonitis, the barmy 1979 sci-fi horror mash-up THE VISITOR and – for the hardened cult movie freaks amongst you – the infamous 1987 underground German shocker NEKROMANTIK!!!

Any release dates for those? Very good Arrow! I bet the artwork will be great, especially for The Visitor.

[EddieLarkin]

Never released on home video in the UK (distributors didn’t even dare submit it for classification), NEKROMANTIK...

Is the film as bad as I've heard? By today's standards I mean. I assume Arrow are confident in getting an 18 from the BBFC.

I know that Arrow shant disappoint!

[ste71]

Looks Nekromantik is coming from Arrow too

[ste71]

Whoops! Beat me to it!

[BarnDoor]

If they can also get the rights to Nekromantik 2, perhaps Arrow might do a Dr Phibes-type set for the pair, presumably with a shorter booklet?

[NoirFan]

I wonder if Arrow will reach out to Bill and try to license the Code Red Visitor extras.

Nekromantik is a film I never want to see again, I will take the visitor though.

What's so bad about it? Feel free to go spoilerific, I don't have any intention of watching it, just curious!

There is some very disturbing scenes throughout with a corpse and other various scenes, very graphic. I won't go into detail but you can look it up for yourself. I am not easily shocked but this film sickened me and I knew what I was going to see, I will never take a recommendation from a friend again without looking it up first.
