I actually like his theatrical posters that Shout are reusing for their steelbooks quite a bit better than the cluttered Arrow artworks but, again, those should have been announced along with the regular releases originally rather than making interested customers double-dip (Ditto what they are doing in reverse with films like Nightcrawler with ugly steelbooks first and more aesthetically pleasing regular editions six months later). I'm not among them since Arrow are giving us all round superior products anyway but it's a shady practice.
Some people think they did the steelbooks to capitalize on Stella's death, but they clearly were planning these before that happened precisely to get a portion of the customers to double dip.

Looking forward to it, the Blu-ray of Hostel 2 looks awful. I also think it's one of the better horror sequels out there, it's one that surpasses the original.

And Shout is releasing A Chinese Ghost Story 1-3 on UHD as individual steelbooks using Tony Stella's art.
They are also releasing Abigail in a steelbook. In fact all of October's releases are steelbooks except a repackaing of the REC collection , which is going from 4 individual cases in a slipbox to a 4 disc single case release.
