WB in US and UK, just like the DVDs.

Cannibal Man (Spanish, There's a German blu)
Cannibal Terror (Spanish/French)
Dead and Buried (Blue Underground did a HD transfer)
Delirium
Devil Hunter (Severin did a HD transfer)
Don't Go in the House (Scorpion did a HD transfer)
Don't Go Near the Park
Don't Look in the Basement
Expose (Severin did a HD transfer)
Faces of Death (surely not)
Fight for your Life (BU supposedly attempting a restoration)
Forest of Fear
Frozen Scream (Available on IndieGoGo exclusive bonus DVD to exclusive blu ray of Exterminator Part 2 from VinSyn, HD transfer available on exploitation.tv)
Human Experiment
I Miss You, Hugs and Kisses
Love Camp 7 (Blue Underground did a HD transfer)
Night of the Demon (oh god yes please)
Butcher Baker Nightmare Maker
Snuff (Blue Underground did a HD transfer)
Werewolf and the Yeti
Women Behind Bars
Xtro

So it could possibly be either something that's already had a release overseas (likely judging by the line so far), or a film that hasn't even had a proper DVD release anywhere. My guess is Don't Go Near the House or Frozen Scream

Oh snap! What if it's Don't Go In the House, with Scorpion's added scenes and the original, uncensored audio? Xtro would also be brilliant, and Butcher Baker sure would please some very vocal fans.

88 have The Perfume of the Lady in Black shipping now, but Amazon still have it listed as a June 26 release. I know 88 ship earlier direct but that amazon date can't be right surely?

as i mentioned previously they still have The Mercenary as coming out in 4 days too.

Amazon still has Delirium set for release on May 15th, even though 88 had it available beginning about a month ago.

Xtro would indeed be great. With Studio Canal alas so zero chance of an 88 Films blu-ray (or a Studio Canal blu-ray to be honest)

88 Films current business model re the Asia and Italian lines is to sell an exclusive limited slipcase edition of each title via their website about a month before the retail release.

A good approach that seems to work well for them. I'm pleased to see that they have upped the slip numbers from 300 to 500.

The Perfume of the Lady in Black, The Long Hair of Death and Body Puzzle both have slips and are limited to 500 a piece. Nice

It'd be nicer if the shipping charge didn't make it twice the price I can get it for on Amazon. I'm not in a rush so I'll keep my Amazon pre-order on Perfume.

[Ste7en]

Yeah, shipping costs are high but that is outsourced now isn't it?

Besides, skull points can be used to offset shipping costs. I do that sometimes

[Cinema84]

I think Warner controls worldwide rights to their library so Xtro isn't possible. I don't know who Cult Platinum or whatever that German label is called got the rights from but nobody is going to release this film legitimately unless WB loosens their grip.

Yeah I have £10 worth I think, To be fair it's more that Amazon have a good price on Perfume (and still do I think) than 88 being expensive. I'll probably use them on Body Puzzle.

Warner has been releasing some pretty obscure movies recently, though, so maybe we'll see it. If we are getting "From Hell it Came," we should have already gotten Xtro!

Mine's with Amazon and seems to be in some kind of limbo.

[Fnord Prefect]

I don't do social media so have 88 Films put out any word as to what's going on re The Package and Eve of Destruction? As there's no pre-order up at their website and HMV.com are listing them as "Sold Out" despite not being out yet can we presume they're either delayed or cancelled?

The Perfume of the Lady in Black isn't out until June 26th, quite surprised 88 Films are offering it for pre-order so early.

It's £8.99 at HMV.com and Amazon UK bt the way.

People already received the slipcover versions from there website. Saw a few people on Instagram posting pics of it.

Yeah, I know. I was only illustrating that since Delirium is set for a month and a half after 88 released it, Amazon releasing Perfume nearly 2 months after isn't totally out of the question.
