It was the first kung fu film to under-perform at the US box office since the success of Five Fingers of Death. Probably due to audience fatigue or the increasing domination of Bruce Lee rather than the film's merits per se, though that theatrical trailer is too slow-paced for its own good.

It basically means you can use a custom number of points for a discount.

100 points = £1. If you choose to use 500 points for example that would be a £5 discount.

Click "redeem rewards" on the left on the site. It's points, 100 points is £1.

Look on the "Earn points" on the rewards section. It'll tell ya how to get points.

Same here. Excited!

Went to place my order for Night of the Demon far too late at Severin.

Haven’t seen delirium in years.

Just remember be amused, by the theme from mastermind playing every time something exciting happened on screen.

Will def give delirium another go.

It's one of two video nasties I still need to see (the other being The Werewolf and the Yeti), so it'll be nice to finally cross it off the list.

If I would've known 88 films was releasing Night of the Demon I never would've ordered it from Severin and I live in the US. At least I pre-ordered Don't Go in the House from Arrow.

[nekromantik]

omg I wish someone knew about Night of the Demon!
I over paid by £40 for my 2 copies. One for a friend.
Stupid Severin policy not to allow cancellation of pre orders

[fred25_Ca]

Which Night of the demon? The 60's one?

[JoelGoodsen]

This is why labels need to announce titles further ahead imo.

88 Films have lost out on sales here (including mine) for Night Of The Demon and Delirium.

Nice. They'll definitely look better than what Severin puts out.

There is no 60s Night of the Demon. If you mean the 1958 one, Indicator has a lovely BD of that.

I'm guessing the extras won't be the same.

They appear to have partnered with Severin, so looks like some or all extras are shared. From 88's Facebook:

February Release #3 - Night of the Demon
Amid the gush of early ‘80s low-budget backwoods horror, only one lost classic brought together softcore sex, hardcore violence, Satanic sex cults and a limb-tearing, gut-slinging, dick-ripping beast for “the best and bloodiest Bigfoot movie ever made.” (Buried.com): When a group of Anthropology students heads deep into the forest to investigate a series of Sasquatch attacks, they’ll discover an immortal brain-blast of crazy hermits, mutilated Girl Scouts, interspecies copulation and “one of the goriest final scenes in the whole history of splatter flicks” (A Slash Above). Producer/co-writer Jim L. Ball and director James C. Wasson deliver “an anti-masterpiece that moves like a bullet, unlike anything you’ve ever seen” (Mondo Digital) now scanned in 2K from the recently discovered 35mm answer print with over 5½ hours of Special Features on two discs.
Special Features:
Disc 1:
Just A Little Green Kid Outta Waco, Texas: Interview With Producer Jim L. Ball
The Demon Made Me Do It: Interview With Director James C. Wasson

January Title #3 - 31st January
Delirium
For his feature film debut, director Peter Maris (MINISTRY OF VENGEANCE, DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY) took portions of an unfinished urban conspiracy thriller and added a new psycho-killer procedural to create what may be the most unusual/vicious proto-slasher shocker of the ‘70s: When a series of savage murders rocks St. Louis, the police investigation will lead to a deranged Vietnam vet “who looks like a cracked-out Seth McFarlane” (HorrorNews.net), an underground organization of white-collar vigilantes, gratuitous nudity, graphic violence and an absolute masterclass in low-budget regional filmmaking. One of the very first Section 2 Video Nasties, this longtime VHS rarity – also known as PSYCHO PUPPET – is now fully restored from the only known 35mm print in existence.
Special Features:
Directing DELIRIUM: Interview With Director Peter Maris
Monster Is Man: Interview With Special Effects Artist Bob Shelley
