They're still waiting for the Slipcovers to arrive.

Well, maybe not them per se, but they certainly must know who is gouging away on this title.

Well, I guess I won't be picking up this title after all.

I did some research on the issue. The seller is a entertainment company based in AU. It's listed on their site as a pre-order. This is the usual price range for Blu-Rays in Australia from an American company.

I don't think Massacre has anything to do with this, and I sincerely doubt they've even shipped units yet. Just a company that doesn't realize this didn't come out on 5-18 as scheduled .

From their FB page yesterday:

There has been a slight manufacturing delay with ENTER THE DEVIL, but we are hopefully going to have the disc in hand in 2-3 weeks. Once they are in hand on their way to us, pre-order will begin and they will be promptly shipped.

Thanks to everyone who is bearing with us on this. Indie film releasing, amirite?

Also, a sneak peak at the slipcover for their upcoming Limited Blu of MR. NO LEGS.

Bruce, is there a release date on Mr. No Legs as yet?

According to a FB post, looks like Massacre Video is working on a new scan from the internegative for Nightmares aka Nightmares in a Damaged Brain. This development is absolutely bananas.

[bruce holecheck]

From my Cinema Arcana FB Page:

“The dream you can’t escape alive!” Coming later this year as part of Massacre Video’s Limited Edition Blu-Ray series – an officially licensed, exclusive restoration of Romano Scavolini’s notorious nasty, NIGHTMARES IN A DAMAGED BRAIN (1981)!

Prematurely released from psychiatric care, George Tatum aimlessly wanders the sleaze pits of New York’s 42nd Street, unsure of a greater purpose. However, his experimental drugs only manage to keep his vivid hallucinations and nightmares at bay for a short time, and it isn’t long before he’s embarking on a southbound slaughter spree, feeling himself drawn to a sunny seaside destination only he knows.

An oppressive, relentlessly bleak film, NIGHTMARE (as it’s better known to Stateside fans) has amassed a bit of a following over the years thanks to its mean-spirited seriousness and nihilistic worldview. Generally considered a slasher film, it’s more of a psychotic character study – more akin to DON’T ANSWER THE PHONE or MANIAC than FRIDAY THE 13th. However, one potential connection to the latter is its gloriously graphic gore FX – their hotly-contested perpetrator is still in debate. (Ed French or Tom Savini? Will we ever get the full story?) Regardless, the disturbing scenes of violence were enough to land the film on England’s notorious Video Nasties list, and its distributor actually wound up doing time behind bars!

Previous disc releases have utilized a worn 35mm release print or an uncorrected answer print, but thanks to some hard work and determination, an original internegative has recently been uncovered, and Massacre are using this preferable element as the source for their 2K restoration. With color correction by the same technicians responsible for their stunning HACK-O-LANTERN release, this should easily be the best NIGHTMARE has ever looked.

While extras are currently being worked on, one supplement guaranteed to tempt even those who don’t generally double-dip is the inclusion of Scavolini’s directorial follow-up, the gritty ‘Namsploitation outing DOG TAGS (1987)! Unreleased on disc previously and never officially issued on home video in the U.S., the film follows a group of soldiers who discover the secret mission they’ve reluctantly been assigned is actually the recovery of stolen gold. With said riches at their fingertips, temptation proves too much and greed breeds paranoia – but can they even make it out of the jungle alive? A mean slab of celluloid, DOG TAGS is especially remembered for an agonizing amputation scene and another starring role for NIGHTMARE’s Baird Stafford, so its appearance here is particularly welcome. Massacre Video is accessing the original 35mm negative for their scan, so you might as well throw away those bootlegs now!

Obviously another mouth-watering addition to an already impressive slate of upcoming releases from Massacre Video. Watch this space for further details!

There seems to be debate over at Facebook about rights having potentially expired or at the least serious confusion about this....

Not yet. ENTER THE DEVIL in a few weeks then FIEND after that, I believe.

Not much of a debate, really.

Apparently the Code Red / Kino reissue of NIGHTMARE is canceled, according to Jesse at Diabolik.

Can't wait to see those leftover Nightmare blus on booberrys eBay page and the exterminator Amazon page for bucketlisted prices.

[hockeyshark91]

Any updates on this title? Amazon just charged my card. Diabolik has them for cheaper. Not sure if I should cancel my Amazon order and go with Diabolik.

Well I guess I am still glad I bought a copy from the exterminator a year or so ago. I already own the Code Red and 88 films releases. I'll probably end up getting the Massacre version as well. I hope it's the best looking and/or has some exclusive extras to help justify owning this THREE times on blu-ray.
