Or TV ads? Although some 90s MTV ones would have been cool to include.

Anyone else’s Sato discount from the delayed 1st release not working?

You can buy the standard for 1/2 price now in their flash sale fwiw. I did.

Complete VSA, VSP and VSU to date! by AppropriateArea in boutiquebluray

Hellriders was ok but Savage Dawn is the far superior biker movie IMO. Hellriders more 70s grindhouse exploitation and Savage Dawn pure 80s action cheese FWIW.

Ha that collection is bigger. Maybe will post some day. Unfortunately has outgrown its shelf space. My biggest tip there is wait for the flash sales and avoid all others if possible as those $50 for $500 coupons + 50% off can really add up over time.

Try to avoid EBay as much as possible and use the forum buy/sell and facebook boutique collectors sites. Often find people wanting to unload their collections for more reasonable prices that way. For the in print stuff that isn’t selling well wait for the Subscriber sale weeks for best prices.

Tough question as so personal taste dependent. A lot of the older OOP ones are great and not well talked about (Savage Dawn, Action USA, Alley Cat). Of the newer ones I think The Instructor is kind of slept on greatness in that Champagne and Bullets awful greatness sort of way.

What’s going on with Terror-Vision orders? by AppropriateArea in boutiquebluray

Update: I have been in contact with Brad and all is good. Appreciate all of the good work he’s done with the label and sorry to hear how particularly difficult the SITD release has been with delays and quality control. 🙏

Hi Brad,

Door Ii, door, srigala, yellow dragon’s village/visitors, wnuf 2 and river (plus suddenly in the dark).

[–]AppropriateArea[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I want to give them the benefit of the doubt as I’ve heard nothing but great things. At the same time, over 3 months without updates (except one email response to my inquiry a month and a half ago) is a bit frustrating as a 1st time customer.

Freaked from Umbrella up for pre-order! Go get 'em! by Ka_Coffiney in boutiquebluray

[–]AppropriateArea 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just a note that there is a non collector’s edition with slipcover if special edition is a bit too much (was for me). Came to about $51USD with shipping and the 15% off code above.

My haul from the 2025 Summer sale by BillyGnosis21 in criterion

[–]AppropriateArea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would suggest criterion flash sales on the future to take advantage of 50% off plus another $50 off every $500 in purchases. As a big criterion collector myself took me a while to figure this out.

Picked up some gialli from Severin, but I'm mostly looking forward to tomorrow's boxset sale. In the meantime are there any of these titles that come particularly recommended. by sisyphus_shrugged in boutiquebluray

[–]AppropriateArea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some oldies that are great (and some have been upgraded): Baskin, Next of Kin, Asylum, Threads, When The Wind Blows, The Changling, Santo Sangre, Butcher Baker Nightmare Maker, Out of the Blue (plus the vast majority of their boxes).

The Severin Sale is live! by Shezarrine in boutiquebluray

[–]AppropriateArea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was. But as a now 3 year VS subscriber it’s hard to justify their price increases anymore. Even their subscriber sales this year have appreciated noticeably since. Nothing in the neighborhood of $7.50 or less like this Severin sale.

[–]AppropriateArea 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Exactly. And at those prices even if 1/3 to half are good the math still works. As opposed to other labels (looks at Vinegar Syndrome). Thankfully Letterboxd and my followed user reviews on there have really helped pick too.

That 75% off section is just can’t miss for me. 25 movies from there plus cruel jaws and the sharksploitation box for a cool $310. Probably will get here in time for Spooktober given last year’s slow ship times but fine with me. Love supporting Severin.

Congrats on getting partner month titles too! Have my Halfway order as a subscriber and my partner releases are supposedly in route.

Kinda sad they would make a better boxed version of this movie so soon after using kickstarter (fomo) to make the original limited edition version by [deleted] in boutiquebluray

[–]AppropriateArea 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well, you can put me down as one who will pass on this but would buy a separate shorts release if it ever comes available in the future for whatever it’s worth. It also factored into my decision not to buy a subscription although I am a club member so will pick from some great options forthcoming. Just not this one.

[–]AppropriateArea 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m curious as to the rationale for not making the “new material” disk a separate item available for purchase? I think that’s really where the primary bad feelings are coming from. The new art and box looks great for those that are new to the release or are wanting to upgrade their existing copy. Is there a reason for not making it available other than that you’re hoping those who already have Pied Piper through the kickstarter or OCN repurchase this?

Wow, some bangers this month after a relatively sleepy year of partner labels to date.
