Has Arrow released the list of special features for their upcoming release of Spider Baby? I need to know whether or not to get rid of my DVD. Will it be the same set of features that were on the UK release?

Huh, I didn't see a review for the US release when I checked the page the last time. Thanks, I appreciate it.

Unfortunately I can't tell what was carried over from the old DVD release and what's new. Other than the commentary.

All of the other DVD extras - the three featurettes, alternate opening, stills, and extended scene - are on the BD. The new extras are the Q & A and Jack Hill's student film, 'The Host'.

Cool, thanks. Looks like I can get rid of my DVD.

Garcia already has a US release from TT. I'd love an upgrade of Teddy Bear - the UK DVD has a hilarious vintage anti-LSD short narrated by Mineo:

LSD: Insight or Insanity? (1967) - YouTube

"The bad trip? Instant insanity."

Thanks for the reminder. TT is such a party pooper; they're the reason I didn't even bother suggesting Arrow consider trying to do something interesting with another of my fave films, Zardoz.

Zardoz could be picked up by a European label, just like THE FURY. I'm waiting for a cheaper alternative myself. This film is NOT worth $35

MESSAGE FROM SPACE came out from Shout Factory on DVD, so they can do a Blu in the future.

WILD WILD PLANET, LOVED ONE is with Warner, so you should request Warner Archives.

Still? I notice that their release is OOP.

If they don't have any plans to reprint it, I sure hope that someone will give it a release that does it justice.

I hope that the masters of bad encoding don't get to release this classic on blu.

As Noir stated, Garcia already has a Region A Blu-Ray through Twilight Time (which was quite satisfactory to boot). I know Blue Underground released Black Belly Of The Tarantula on DVD, so I would assume any Blu-Rays would be released through them (not to mention, it's one I would love to see get released, along with Don't Torture A Duckling and Deathdream).

You can buy it at amazon, where does it state OOP?

Good question, Shout's still selling it on their site with no indication of OOP too.

Arrow don't own the UK rights to Russ Meyer films so NO chance with these & Arrow had already asked about restoring these to BD quality but were told NO otherwise we'd have BD releases by now.

Code Red own US rights to 3 of Milligan's films which are available on BD.

Eureka own UK rights to 3 of the Female Prisoner Scorpion films so NO chance there.

Shamless Screen Entertainment own the UK rights to both The House With Laughing Windows & Dellamorte Dellamore so again NO chance with these.

Paramount own rights to Danger: Diabolik.

Mondo Macabro own US rights to Mill of the Stone Women.
