    Same as that though its mostly limited releases I buy nowadays. Most recent one was the Herschell Gordon Lewis limited to 500 "Gore Box" from Arrow for nearly €200. Most Ive ever spent on anything but it looks frickin awesome.

    Arrow are great but I did get stung with Shivers and The Stendalhl Syndrome.

    Promised myself i wouldn't buy blu rays of movies I have already on DVD but some of the older ones don't look good on led tv's. Blue Underground Zombie 2 is terrible and watched Anchor Bays Tenebrae last night picture wasn't great. Thought it looked fantastic on my 24inch widescreen CRT TV when I got it.

    What happened with Shivers?

    I bought the steelbook from the official site (loyalty points ftw!) But seemingly there was a problem with the discs and they sent me new ones, with no solicitation from me, free of charge.

    It's a censored version of the movie. They never checked the master and assumed it was uncut.

    I didn't really set out to but have a bit of a collection of mostly cult/horror/sci-fi Dvds.If I see anything that looks rare or obscure I'll grab it,mostly in charity shops.Also TV boxsets if they look interesting or for nostalgia reasons.Picked up the complete Worzel Gummidge and enjoying it again.

    Jesus really? :rolleyes:

    I love Arrow and what they are trying to do. But christ, they **** up a LOT. I got done with both 'The Beyond' and 'Zombie Flesh Eaters'. In fairness, they sent out replacements after I could provide proof that I bought them, but with a little caution these things can be avoided.

    I'd love to know how many shillings they lose with these mistakes.
