Rocktober Blood (1984) and Rocktober Blood 2: Billy's Revenge

[Frightener22]

Was it confirmed whether this was a pressed BD or BD-R? Thanks in advance for any insight.

Not exactly, but they did state on Facebook that they were "legitimate Blu-rays!"

I would be quite surprised if they are pressed since most replicators require a minimum of 1000 copies (which a label like Code Red seems to have a hard time selling 1000 copies of anything). If they do end up being pressed, then I'm tempted to put in an order even though I've never seen it. Kind of been waiting for the IndieGoGo campaign to start first though.

While the $50 price tag is a tad steep, I'll wait until people start receiving them to make sure it's pressed before I commit. Looking forward to adding this slasher to the ever growing collection!

This has been my thought as well. I don't even have a problem paying $30ish for a BD-R if that's all that's available. My bigger concern is will these actually ship out. Plenty of one or two man operations exist these days and are able to get product to customers on time in a few days. The longer these take to reach the backers the less likely I am to support the release as the signs would point towards these not arriving at all.

$60 with shipping. I'm also waiting eagerly to make sure it's a quality transfer/release before pulling the trigger.

I pulled the trigger and bought the blu ray and soundtrack cd a few days ago. So far there has been zero movement on shipping. I'm hoping this doesn't take too long to ship out. I just want the movie

People that pre-ordered months ago still haven't received their copies yet, so its probably a good idea to get comfy as there's no guarantee you'll be getting it any time soon (or at all). There's a reason many of us have held off of ordering thus far.

I received a tracking # earlier from Homosassa, FL which I'm pretty sure is it. It looks like it will be here on Tuesday.

I certainly hope so. I'm not afraid to spend the money when i know I'll get the product, so I'm anxiously awaiting to see what you and others that tok the chance receive.

A post in a horror group on facebook has confirmed that it is a BD-r! On the plus side, at least people are now receiving them!

For $60? They're ****ing insane.

Yeah, glad I didn't fund this, and I thought mighty hard about it too. Thankfully the low Canadian dollar held me off, which would have made this release almost $100!

Apparently the CD soundtrack is a CD-R as well.

Yeah, it's lame, but I think a lot of us probably figured the chances were good they'd be BD-R's, etc. For $60 it is a cheap way to go about it though.

The Sebastians really just don't let their films go out to others to be released, so it might be a hell of a long time before it gets another release.

Oh well, I bought it when I had an extra $50 to burn and I do have a love for the movie. I won't be contributing anything to their IndieGoGo campaign though, and this will probably hurt them some there too as I'm sure many others won't be either.

So glad I did not buy this trash. The worst thing to me is that they actually lied right to all the customer's faces. That's fraud. The epitome of chutzpah is that they did it in the name of charity.
What a pathetic bunch of.......!

[Leslie Dame]

Wow, I guess everyone got shafted. Glad I held off buying this. I do enjoy Rocktober Blood but NO WAY in hell I would have shelled out $50+

[Worship.my.wreck]

Yup, glad I didn't go for this either.
