Really! I would think those two of all titles would be selling like hot cakes.

Christ, and there goes From Beyond the Grave. I recommend getting this one, either through the Archive or finding a used copy of the DVD floating around the net. It's one the best of the eight or so anthology horror films Amicus made in the 60's/70's (and my personal favourite of them).

Mr. Sausage, do you know if they or anyone else owns the U.S. rights to Dr. Terror's House of Horrors, seeing that anthology horror films by Amicus came up?

The best I can find is that Republic held the rights at least during the VHS period in the US. Anchor Bay released a DVD in the UK and may have the US rights too.

Sorry, I really couldn't tell you. I don't keep up on who has what video rights. It really ought to have an R1 DVD release. I watched it again recently and the Christopher Lee/Michael Gough episode was superb.

Got my 3 film packet -- The Patsy, Strawberry Blonde, Damsel in Distress -- all look like they will be fun (only seen Damsel before).

The Patsy is the worst Vidor I've ever seen. Probably in the minority on this though.

This has an average (non-weighted) score of 8.8 on IMDB, so I'd guess you probably are in the minority. ;~}

Add Tom Thumb to the DVD-->MOD devolution

And 7 Faces of Dr. Lao.

Joel's gonna be pissed

The Great Waltz and Rhapsody in Blue will both be available, remastered, exclusively from Movies Unlimited on November 8. They will also be available in a two-pack.

Get Carter and Fingers now unbelievably relegated from DVDs to MODs

I noticed those two titles with horror too.

Does this mean there's little chance of a Get Carter blu-ray? Here in the UK it's a highly-regarded and popular film so I've been hoping for a hi-def upgrade for a while.

Unbelievable. Fortunately, the real DVDs (with directors' commentaries) of both films are available new from third parties on Amazon right now for seven bucks each. Both fulfilled by Amazon & Prime eligible. You can get both films shipped for less than the cost of one featureless DVR from The Archive.

Warner Archive One Day Sale: 5 DVDs for $50. Monday, Oct. 10.

Just completed an order with ten titles and got the discount. Had much less trouble in navigating the site (endless loop of editing shipping/billing address, gremlins emptying cart, tossing out payment options etc.) and signing out than in the past but no telling what anyone else will encounter. It wouldn't accept my latest card update (possibly because my bank issued a new card with completely new number) so I had to default to an older payment option. These 50% off sales are really the only way I can justify Archive purchases and the ability to "double up" makes it hard to resist. No Sony titles available and not all Archives (it insisted on full price for the LYLAH CLARE remaster) either.

They never include the new stuff in the sales. This was the first time around discount sale-wise for Woman On The Beach, which dropped in June. After a few months most titles become eligible.

The Sony stuff is troubling. I know you can get those titles through Deep Discount. Have they ever been covered by their code sales?

I seem to recall a 50% or thereabouts Sony MOD sale at DD earlier this year. This may have been before they started the custom code discounts via e-mail. After they upgraded (i.e. totally fucked up) their site early last year and my account was hacked (and valid credit cards rejected for no good reason) I've avoided them like the plague. That Sony MOD sale did tempt me though!

They were a little under eleven dollars, if memory serves
