Today just 2 hours ago Birnenblatt announced that pre-orders for the box are open. However no additional information, what to expect, no product images, etc. from Birnenblatt 😐 However, the USPs on the shops have two pieces of information: My translation: The other thing we do know, however is the price: 19,99€, so rather decently priced, and given that it even includes the booklet, probably the better deal (in regards to the Mediabook). I have already contacted Birnenblatt about product pictures and descriptions so that one knows what one is getting, and I also asked for the limitation of the edition. Let's see what they'll answer (probably tomorrow/after tomorrow). Until then, for those willing to jump into the unknown, here are the three shops that Birnenblatt listed who are going to carry this edition: Pretz Media Media Markt Saturn Please be aware, that some (unfortunately especially international buyers?) seem to have problems with Pretz (if you are from Germany however, they are one of the shops with the best service and shipping that I know of and instant response on questions), which is renewed by what @Lordpercy has experienced. I just add them to be complete. I don't know about international shipping regarding Media Markt/Saturn, but as far as I know there is some kind of Group Buy for German products on this forum, somewhere (maybe someone can link it here? 🙂). Best of luck everyone trying to get their hands on this one! PS: They did also link a short documentary Arte (which is a French-German-TV station) to their announcement, on director Sofia Coppola, seen from "the view of music". It's in German, but you can of course auto-translate subtitles on YouTube. Just adding it, in case you are interested (I wasn't, to be honest ). [Click me]

There has been a lot of anger and confusion regarding this release, because a lot of people already have theirs (those who ordered directly via Turbine) and others have been waiting and contacting their vendor who seems to not be knowing where the packages of their customers are (all those who ordered via Amazon). Today Turbine has released a statement - and if you don't want to read it in its entirety here is the most important takeaway: Never turn to the big corps, if you could also support your label directly! Their Statement: My half-hearted attempt in translating it as good as I can:

Here are some pictures of my release. The ONLY thing I dislike (and this is an absolute first world problem): The position of the Turbine logo on the spine, compared with their other box sets. Other than that, a perfect release:

My copy arrived on Wednesday, and just to make sure that there is no bad blood: I didn't order via Group Buy (I never do, if I can get the edition directly - so only Filmarena, Blufans and some American Releases will be Group Buys with me ), but directly via Collectong, so naturally it's a little bit faster for me. And as usually, I'll share my photos with you to sweeten your waiting time, but before I do, some general words on the release and my personal opinion: I opted for the Fullslip, though my favorite regarding the pictures was the double lenticular fullslip, which I did not choose due to the missing UHD disk. What I disliked from the Fullslip was the title placement, which I would have done differently (either on the top, or the bottom). In hand however the title works quite well because it stands out due to some rainbowy-reflective properties that are hard to describe, and unfortunately also hard to capture an camera. Also the rest of the finish is absolutely gorgeous! The Lenticular sticker has a new property: It is coted with a small pastic film, that makes it smooth. I totally like that, it feels much better, and it is hardly visible. I wonder if they'll do the same with their Lenticular editions? It definately makes the surface feel much better. For your SEALD collectors: Open the protective bag and you can take out the J-Card and the lenticular sitcker without unsealing the fullslip (but who would do such absurdity and never take out the gorgeous steelbook? The gorgeous steelbook is really that: gorgeous. I cannot tell you why, it seems like nothing special on the pictures and the packet shot, but it looks really elegant making it really georgeous. It has the same quality that the Man of Steel steelbook has - it's a real beauty and one of the best steelbooks I had in my hands this year. While the booklet is actually just a simple photo booklet, we do get some picture captions and a lot of behind the scenes footage, so again a lot of love from me for that. Inside the steelbook we get a third disk in a sleeve wich is a bit strange. But I like it. The paper is slightly translucent, and feels like waxed paper, which somehow gives it an elegent quality. The envelope is of the same paper. This really fits the color scheme and pictures on the envelopes, and I really like this. All in all I am really pleased with this release. And I hope everyone who preoredered one, will be too. I'd love to see some pictures from the guys getting the other releases. Here are mine for the fullslip:

You know what this week is? Movie-week! 😀 But before I explain that, I realised that I've made some pictures for two other updates that I never posted. So let's start with my two "end of October" updates: #1076-1080 | DEU | Paranormal Activity 1-5 | Amaray EAN: 886976494292, 4010884243741, 4010884245196, 4010884256093, 4010884252231 Release date: Apr. 30th 2010, Apr. 7th, 2011, Sept. 6th 2012, Feb. 21st 2013 and May 15th 2014 Region Code: ??? Paid: 6€ I actually would have gotten these a long while ago, when I got part 6, but I had an eBay bundle and part 6 as separate offer, and while I got part 6 for 1€, I was outbid on the package with 50¢ in the last second (and I think it was something between 3-5€). So now finally I could rectify that with a package offer on Facebook. 6€ for 5 films is a nice deal, I think, which is why I even bear that ugly blue Amaray packaging that I normally try to avoid at all costs. Finally I can watch these films I heard so much about. #1081 | GBR | Psycho | FS XL + Steelbook (EverythingBlu BP #5) EAN: 5053083220068 Release date: Sept. 7th, 2020 Region Code: ??? Paid: 46,28€ What can I say - I own the movie in an ultimate boxset but I love this label, and their little extras are worth a double dip. We get a poster, the movie in 4K, postcards, poster cards, and those special extras: this time a pin and a hotel key tag. So now, let's get to this weeks "movie week". I think on Monday I got the mail, that a new package from @forenhase was to be expected soon - and all of a sudden on monday the post rings - normally this takes about 1 day after I get the mail, so this time they are fast? 🧐 Well.... not really. What I got instead was this: #1082 | DEU | Downton Abbey | Slipcase + Jumbo Amaray  EAN: 5053083224097 Release date: May 16th, 2018 Region Code: ??? Paid: 59,99€ I pre-ordered this without knowing what to expect, and to be quite honest, just regarding the package, this is quite expensive and rather carelessly put together. That being said, there is only one really beautiful release worthy of this incredible series, but it's just DVD I still plan to get that someday, but for now it's too expensive for too little. The release I got, though pretty unspectacular, has everything you can wish for: All 6 seasons (2010-2015) with their bonus "Christmas" episodes (each season used to start in the summer and end in the first November week, but starting with the second season they always put out a christmas special every Dec. 25th), totaling in 52 episodes. Plus the movie that was released 2019 in cinemas, and three bonus discs containing all extras that have been produced up to now. Looking forward to rewatching the series (and watching the movie for the first time). So on Tuesday the post man rang again. Post from André? No sir, but from Turbine: #1083 | DEU | An American Werewolf in London | Capbox + DigiPak EAN: 4260294859357 Release date: Nov 13th, 2020 Region Code: ??? Paid: 51,65€ This should have been released on Friday 13th. At least that's what Turbine joked about (as I have informed you here), so I was surprised to get it on Tuesday, but I won't argue I will post some detail pictures in the joint thread from @RAK and me, that you can find here: Wednesday, and this time the post has to bring the package form André. It HAS to! Well, it didn't.... Instead this is what the postman brought: #1084 | HKG | Dunkirk | FS + Steelbook EAN: 4897109140470 Release date: Nov 13th, 2020 Region Code: ??? Paid: 57,54€ Long have we waited, finally it arrived: Dunkrik, the ME16 of MantaLab. Just for comparison: Their latest release, "Bird's of Prey" was ME30; or in other words: ME17 was Ready Player One, from August 2018, Justice League from April 2018 was from April 2018. So, this was intended to come out somewhere in-between May and July in 2018. But in German there is the saying "Gut Ding will Weile haben" (a good thing needs its time), and Dunkirk turned out to be really good. I'll post some pictures shortly in the related post: Thrusday came, and guess what it brought: Yes sir, finally. Andrés package: #1085+1086 | CZE | Shazam! + Allied | FS + Steelbook and Lenti FS XL + Steelbook EAN: - Release dates: Aug. 12th, 2020 + Aug. 5th, 2020 Region Code: ??? Paid: 69,53€ + 54,16€ Finally, the Filmarena package. And as always there are some mixed feelings. Shazam! I generally really love. What I don't get - and this I find pretty anying - is why they do this back and forth with their fullslip size. I liked the thinner version and would have preferred they stayed that way. I don't mind the switch too much, though, but going back and forth? That's pretty stupid to me. Other than that, the Fullslip is a bit one-sided in the imagery, but the structured finish and gloss varnish look phenomenal, the magnet lenticular is of really high quality and looks phenomenal as well. The booklet is rather boring, but at least it has a few behind the scenes photos. The character cards are really great - I love it when they use back and front side - you have the kids on the one side, the adult hero representation on the other - this is really great. Allied also has a great Lenticular and I really love it, but it angers me that with Filmarena going for the Lenticular is always a gamble. The last few Lenticulars I got where aweful, and lately I opted more often for the fullslip because of it. Allied I got because I liked the different back artwork, but in hand I am really disappointed about it. It is much darker and much less colorful compared to the packet shot, and worst of all, it is obviously unsharp. It looks like the image was much smaller and just blown up. HORRIBLE!!!! Steelbook isn't as nice as well, but that's the WWA one, so no blame on Filmarena. Cards are pretty random so I don't really care, the booklet however is quite nice, because it has some text, which to me has much more worth than just some random scenes. All in all I would have now rather chosen the Fullslip. I liked the Fullslip as well, but thought it was a bit repetitive and I loved the colorful and different back artwork of the Lenticular.

Okey, I totally get that. I am not a fan of texts I cannot read, either, and unfortunately in Germany you cannot sell English text (different to countries like Asia, obviously). Unfortunate for international buyers :(

Oh I am really sorry to read that you couldn't get it :( As you already mention, the planed steelbook will not be released, due to the new mutated Corona outbreak in mink farms in Denmark, which put the area into quarantine where the steelbook manufacture is located. This is especially sad, as Birnenblatt was already preparing for preorders and they even posted an Artwork (probably the inner print) of the Steelbook, plus the fact that they already had one of their hardest year with a lot of postpoinings and cancellations. Unfortunately, now they are again getting a lot of hatemails for it 😟 People in Germany are mad and crazy 😟 There is already one image for their new box which they call "Piece of Art Box", which of course raised a lot of questions, some of which Birnenblatt already answered. I'll subsumize everything we already know. And I'll do it here, because, you've mentioned the box, @Lordpercy and becasue we don't know what and how exactly the box will look, and where else it would fit the best. So let's start: In their initial posting, Birnenblatt called this the "plainer package" comapred to the Mediabook. Release date will be 12.12.2020, but pre-orders will start end of this week. Birnenblatt mentioned, it could be this thrusday (which is actually today!), but I haven't seen it anywhere yet, so maybe this weekend. Keep your eyes open. This being the alternative to the Steelbook and intended to be a "plainer" version, it only comes with one disk and no bonuses. Some are angry on Facebook, and maybe Birnenblatt might change this in future, but for now, they always did it this way - making the Mediabook their "premium" version, that comes with all the extra disks, and their Steelbooks/Futurepacks/Tape-Editions to only include one disk. Someone asked about the prices, and Birnenblatt answered that the POAB is at least always planned to be the cheaper variant. No idea, what that actually means, because this way they keep it open to be more expensive? Maybe they still don't know what to expect from the production costs? Another one asked two questions, a) if it Digipack, and b) as a follow up to Brinenblatts answer, if it has plastic trays. The answer from Birnenblatt: The box will be out of sturdy card board, it will be hinged to be opened, and the insides will also have artwork printing. The disc will be on a separate inlay that can be removed. Regarding the dimensions we'll be oriented towards the size of our Mediabooks and Tape editions. The inlay will be without plastic trays. Everything else, we have to check ourselves with the comming product pictures. Again this seems to me like Birnenblatt themselves are not quite sure about how this product will be looking like in detail. Another question was if this will also come in an Amaray release and Birnenblatt said no. This will be their cheapest release of the movie, Keep cases will not be done by them. And last but not least someone asked about the FSK seal, and Birnenblatt responded that it will not be sticked directly onto the package, instead it will either be a J-Card OR a sticker on the shrink wrap. Well, I feel that Mediabooks are a "true collectors edition" - at least for some labels they used to be and still are. Birnenblatt is one of them, with all the special and exclusive extras, the high quality texts the beautiful artwork (well this time they did not commision anything new and fancy, unfortunately), their limitation and the fact that once it is sold out, it's sold out for good - not re-released in Covers J, K, L, M, N, etc. (like some other labels do). But yeah, everyone as he likes :) I also went for Cover A, I liked it best from the composition and front and back. However I also enjoy the water color artwork on the new box. So probably I'll get one, I guess :D

Release: 04.12.2020 Link (Wicked Shop): Cover A, Cover B, Cover C Price: 29,99€ Limited: 444, 333, 333 "This is (...) the incredible saga of Ma Barker and her boys: The most bloodthirsty killers in the history of crime", say's the tagline in the trailer to the 1970s American low-budget drama movie by Roger Corman, that is - rather loosely - based on the original life story of Kate Barker (1873 - 1935), who is quoted as "the most vicious, dangerous, and resourceful criminal brain of the last decade", who died in a shootout with the FBI. The movie stars Shelly Winters (1940~1980s movie idol), and has an interesting supporting cast that include actors such as Bruce Dern or Robert De Niro. Corman counts this movies to one of his favorites, however the critics hated it. And after 50 years, this movie finally gets a release in Germany, but also an European premiere on HD blu-ray. "Bloody Mama" will be part of Wicked Vision's "Collector's Series" and us such comes in a Mediabook with three different cover artworks to choose from, with Covers B and C being newly comissioned artworks, and Cover A showing the standard international movie poster. They will bear the No. 42 in the Collector's Series, and will have "just" a DVD copy included on the disc-side of things. There will also be an audio commentary with Robert Zion, an Interview with Rober Corman, "Trailers from Hell" with Roger Corman, and German and English movie trailers. And of course we get a 24 paged booklet with a new Essay from David Renske, but of course in German. There will be no English subtitles this time, but of course the movie comes with English original audio, as well as German dubbing. The Release is already preorderable for a couple of days (sorry to be soo late with the news, but I was rather busy), however all covers are still in stock.

Release: 12.12.2020 Price: 29,99€ Shops: Pretz-Media, MediaMarkt, BMV-Medien, OFDb Limitation: 444 (A), 222 (B) and 333 (C) Normally, Birnenblatt is one of these labels that has a couple of releases, streched over the year. This year, the output is pretty high. Besides Better Watch Out and Get Out, there is another movie that Birnenblatt has just opened for pre-orders a day ago: "Lost in Translation". As listed above, there are three covers and all of them have known artworks, so no new comissioned or drawn artworks as we have seen with the other two mediabooks. Yet they look good, and unfortunately they are rather limited in numbers, and the first shop already sold out on all three (Saturn). So if you want one of these, please be fast - I listed all shops that carry them because I don't know how long all shops will have all the covers. Just today Birnenblatt posted, that Cover A got really low and B and C are already sold out on some shops. Here are these Covers: As for the content, not much is known, except for this little fact: Instead of a DVD or UHD copy, this release is coming with a Bonus disc, that will contain a exclusively produced movie analysis by Wolfgang M. Schmitt, Jr. - again something that might only interest German buyers, and probably not even most of them. Schmitt studied Literature and is currently working on his PhD. Beside his studies he started working as freelancer for different news papers and used to focus on Literature as well, but somehow stumbled upon movies, and as a side-project started the German YouTube Channel "Die Filmanalyse", which, with up to 200.000 views on some videos is probably one of the largest German movie YouTubers - yet he is actually hated by many, for his highly intellectual and scientific way of presenting and analysing movies, and his often harsh and not that popular positions. Still his reviews are worth watching. Other than that we know nothing about this release - it's a bit of a shame not having the technical and bonus information available up front But Birnenblatt already sells them just with their insane beautiful artworks. Also a little heads up! - this will also come in an exclusive Steelbook which will have 4000 copies and a new and exclusive watercolor artwork, that'll probably look totally insane. However, that will be a one-disc set, so probably the extra Blu-ray is missing - but for most of you international buyers that will not carry any additional value anyways. As for the movie, I guess you can already call it a classic, even though it was released in 2003 (but well, let's face it: I always think the 2000's where yesterday, until someone reminds me, that it's already been 20 years...). It's the second film by Sofia Coppola, daughter of the famous Francis Ford Coppola (The Godfather trilogy, Apocalypse Now), and already won an Oscar for that movie (the best original screenplay). The romcom-drama starrs Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson, who are supported by Giovanni Rbisi and Anna Faris, and has earned widespread critical acclaim.

Nice update, and I am always happy to have helped someone to a new edition they like and would have otherwise missed 🙂 Hope, you'll enjoy it. Seeing your update, I have two questions, though: 1. Where is that Pan's Labyrinth steelbook from? 2. Seeing you chose to buy those Japanese-Artwork-Steels: Do you know if they also have japanese audio? I'd get them in an instant, if they had - but as far as I know they haven't - then again, often those info in shops isn't always accurate, that's why I'm asking 😉

Happy to hear that. Hopefully they (MM/Saturn) don't screw up again. I already contacted Birnenblatt and ask why it has to be MM/Saturn exclusive, as they had so many screw-ups lately, but Birnenblatt said, that they'll make sure that this cannot happen. So let's hope for the best 😀

Thank you @R1s1ngs0n for adding the links to the initial post. I hope everyone interested in this release has realized this adding of the links. I was unfortunately really busy and missed it myself (fortunately my girlfriend ordered one right away). Unfortunately Cover A is already sold out. Cover B and C still available.

Some additional information was shared by Birnenblatt: Artwork for Cover A was done by Hans Woody; they also included another "behind the scenes" or "making of" picture, that I wanted to share with you: Booklet text is written by Antje Wessels. Second part of the information was really interesting for me, as I follow her reviews for a long while now. Besides her blog she is also active on Twitter and after having multiple guest aperences on Kino+ since 2018, she finally joined Kino+ as editor and fixed moderator besides Daniel Schröckert. And if you don't know Kino+: In my humble opinion it is by far the best German show on movies and series, and it is not even on German TV as the stations don't think that a weekly, two hour long talk format on movies is worth showing. So they are doing it on YouTube. Antje Wessels ist seit Februar 2019 offiziell eine Bohne, da sie nun die Sendung Kino+ auch redaktionell unterstützt [1], nachdem sie seit August 2018[2] bereits mehrere Gastauftritte in dem Format hatte.

They are G1 (DVD) size. The G stands for Generation, G1 = Generation one, or first Generation - and that was DVD, while Blu-ray came later, thus second generation ;) Birnenblatt always does G1, i.e. DVD size, they never did anything else, so it would be a real surprise if this one wasn't DVD sized as well....

No problems, my friend. I am not as active as I would like to be, as well. But I'll try to feed you with all the information that might be interesting for you (or to be quite honest, releases that interest me, and that I therefore share with you ). Nice selection! I hope you read my thread for The Human Duplicators, it will be just a simple Amaray (blue) release with o-card slipcover, and the quality will not be the highest possible with blu-ray, due to problematic master situation. Just something to be aware of. And you probably know that Cadillac Man will also just come in a Scanavo casing, but with a booklet. I - of course - own all of them 🙈. For Transylvania I chose the other cover though (it's also a special offer, but 16€). Thanks for the list, there is a lot I still have to watch. Krampus I've seen in a Sneak Preview and liked it so much that I got the Steelbook, and after that, as FAC (with the identical steelbook ). I also own Rare Export in a steelbook, and I think I've seen the movie, but I cannot really remember what it was all about, so I need to re-watch that - maybe this Christmas. I also own Silent Night, Deadly Night, in a Mediabook release by Anolis (part of their Fatastische Klassiker, Die 80er series), but also haven't seen it, yet. I am looking forward to it. Of course I chose the first cover 🤩 Another movie I am looking forward to watch this Christmas, is "Deadly Games", which is probably quite similar to the Christmas Evil and Silent Night, Deadly Night, but from France. Said to be a really good movie, that has similarities to Home Alone, so another one fitting the this release. There is a really beautiful German DigiPak version from the independant Camera Obscura label, and for international buyers: It even has English subtitles (original soundtrack is French). I'll link a German blog article just for the picutres (beacuse Digipacks you'll need to see from all directions 😅 ). And I'll check out all the releases you listed, let's see what I can still get for this years Christmas 🎅 So, as far as I know there is no news on when to expect/order the Halloween releases. They just announced that preorders will be in October, but that could be as late as the 31st. They didn't get any more concrete than that. However, their Mediabooks are manufactured in the Check Republic, which apparently is hit hard again by Corona. Due to this they postponed two other releases (Short Circuit 2 and Bloodline will be postponed). So, this may also affect their other productions as well, and could push preorders into November. But that's just my speculation, there is no official information yet (as far as I am aware).

What do you think about this release? Is it interesting for you? Are you planning to get one? And if yes, which cover do you prefer? I am yet undecided. In Germany this movie is pretty unknown - I couldn't find anyone in my bubble that knew the movie, and even Birnenblatt was asked about the movie and they linked a Trailer afterwards. Reason for me to get this anyways are the two kids, which where really stunning in The Visit (which I really enjoyed, and which gave me the chills). Both are really talented, and I'd love to see where their career takes them, especially if they keep on focusing on horror movies. Plus I know far too little good Christmas movies that I actually enjoy, so this might be an addition. Coverwise I am undecided as well - I love the Cover C from the colors but it's the common poster artwork. Cover B on the other hand is pretty unusual, and I love how they added the title into the Artwork. But it's a bit monotonous, color wise. So... which would you prefer and why? Give me some inspiration

Release: 17.12.2020 Price: 29,99€ Cover: Cover A, Cover B, Cover C Limitation: 333 numbered copies per cover According to Wikipedia, Better Watch Out is a psychological horror film, according to IMDB it's comedy and crime, and if you watch the trailer it foremost looks like a Christmas movie in the likes of Home Alone. Whatever it is, Birnenblatt pushed this forward - out of nowhere - even before their longer announced title Get Out, so it is available for the Christmas season. And because it is Christmas, instead of adding a DVD copy of the movie or an "Audio Booklet" (which to me is even more useless), they added an Audio CD that will contain the "A Swinging Big Band Christmas" album performed by the "London Music Works". It will come in 3 different cover artworks, each limited to 333 numbered copies. That's all what we know for now - Birnenblatt lists the companies Pretz, Media Markt, Saturn and BMV-Medien, which will carry these - I don't know if that is an exclusive list, though, and if Amazon or Co will list them as well. The movie is a 2016 Australian production that was also filmed in Australia (Fox Studios Moore Park in Sydney), by Chris Peckover and features primary some child actors, from which two (Olivia DeJonge and Ed Oxenbould) have already perfectly worked together in M. Night Shyamalan's The Visit. Even though it did not gain much attention it holds a high critics rating, especially at Rotten Tomatoes, who also list the movie in their Top 55 Christmas movies list on place 23. However, it only got a limited cinema release in selected places and for the majority it was just a video-on-demand release. And with that being said, here is the trailer:

I love that A variant one, due to it's wonderful purple color scheme, it makes me a bit weak. However, I do own a copy by OFDB Filmworks, which is a really great slipcase+digipack edition, with a booklet numbering certificate from 2012, which today is pretty rare and quite worth a penny, as for a long time this was the only and definite edition to have. Its not half as wonderfully designed, though... And besides this release, I am also on the hunt for this - really hard to get - hartbox edition for personal collecting reasons This was the first ever Wicked Vision release, before they even founded the label, and as I own everything else, I really want this one as well. Unfortunately seems to be impossible to get But if I do, I'd own two copies and a third I cannot justify.

Some news, you guys: Relese will be Feb. 4th, 2021, there will be three different cover artworks, all limited to 333 copies, each as a UHD and BD combo. Also, it will be Saturn and Media Markt exclusive. Information is already sent out to the shops and they'll list them in the next days (if I don't forget it, I'll link them here as soon as they are online). And these are the three cover artworks: So guys, what do you think? Which cover is your favorite? And would you get it? Or are you not interested in this at all? If I get it, I'll probably opt for Cover A, although I don't like the back artwork, that could have been done better, in my opinion. Front is superb though. Cover B has the best back artwork, but I don't like the style too much (looks rather amateur like), plus I find it really strange to feature these two supporting characters that don't have any significant role on the front. And Cover C - if you know me, I find it boring to have the artwork that everybody knows already. This has been used so many times, and it's just not for me.

There are some news by Turbine about this release: And my translation:

I know I have to tag @Grendel and @Mad-martigan who are interested in this series, so here you go, please don't miss out, and be fast to order. Anolis reminded buyers that currently Amazon is really hard, because lately they list the titles very late, or they list them but you cannot preorder, and ask you to - if you can - choose one of the many other good online shops like: "Wicked Vision, OFDB, BMV, DTM etc.". In the commentary section a few people complain about Ofdb canceling orders just the day they ship because they let people "overorder", so maybe don't choose them. I don't know about the other shops and international shipping, so I just linked "Wicked Vision" who are - as always - the first to list them in the shop. I am a bit disappointed about this title, as Koch is also doing a "William Castle" Collection, and I would have wished this to be released in that series, but well. Better to get it by one of them, then not getting it at all Here is the William Castle collection, btw. Also really worth getting into, as they are really beautiful Digipacks with stunning artwork, a lot of extras, and a thick booklet.

Well... nobody knows, why exactly, probably it's the lockdown, that has the Anolis guys locked up instead of partying every night, but here we go: Today, Anolis announced the fourth title in their "Fluch der Galerie des Grauens" series - "The Night Walker", or how we know it: "Er kam nur nachts" (He just came at night). It's a 1964 black and white movie by special effects icon of the time William Castle, staring Barbara Stanwyck, Hayden Rorke and Robert Taylor and classified as a thriller with horror elements. Also it is the second to last movie that William Castle directed. With part four of the series we've now got: It! Terror from Beyond Space Donovan's Brain The Angry Red Planet The Night Walker Regarding the package, there won't be any surprises (as typical for these series releases), i.e. a standard black DVD keepcase (G1 size) with a flap for holding two discs, as the set comes with a BD and a DVD disc which will be identical in content. The artwork will be fitting to the previous releases as well, with the spine creating a spine-image if combined with all other releases in the proper order, and it will feature the German cinema release poster that is totally different to the international poster as wellas some of the other countries posters (that all are pretty similar to the international onces), and this set will also come once again with a booklet, that features an essay in German by Robert Zion on 24 pages. We only get a few extras on the disc: Audio commentary by Steve Haberman [English] Audio commentary by Robert Zion [German?] US and German trailers German title sequence US and German advertisement advice Movie programs Picture gallery And for all you US/CA readers out there: There is a Shout Factory Region A release for both countries, they'll probably share the blu-ray master. The Shout Factory has just one extra listed, and that's the audio commentary by Steve Haberman. As always, I'd like to close with a trailer of the movie - enjoy:

Thank you for tagging me, @Grendel. The Cover artwork looks awesome, and I have to confess I haven't seen this one yet, but it's been on my list for quite a while now. I have never heard of this label, is it a US release? Where can you be able to get those? Amazon? If it is US, will it also be relased in UK? And what kind of packages do they use? Is this Amaray in a Slipcase? Or is it something more special?

There's a small piece of news that Turbine shared a few days ago: And my translation (without any warranty ):

I just watched this movie yesterday, and while reviewing it, I wondered if I had made any photos - and lately what do I do, when I want to check if I did any photos? I look it up here on the forum. Seems like I didn't so here you go Some short words about the movie: It's great. Really hillarious, great fun to watch. I can recommend it. Also the edition (as you will see on the photos) is worth every penny - so much love went into this release! 😍 Enjoy:
