Severin must be the only boutique label that'll lock you into your pre-order.

I better go fish my hay out of the trash for added value if I ever want to sell, along with the exclusive shipping box.

Mine is on the way. I don't remember it ever saying exclusive to the site (the big bundle definitely was). I'm still happy to be getting this before Christmas (I never imagined they'd get stuff out in December).

Severin is tricky. They did indeed originally announce the Andy Milligan set as limited and exclusive to their site before releasing a “retail” version. However, things like the Al Adamson set sold out and The Blood on Satan’s Claw sold out and never came back. So really if you want one of their releases you have to grab, there is no predictable model like Arrow or Indicator have for their limited editions.

Subtitles on the Woodlands Dark and Days Bewitched documentary could have used another QA pass; I only watched the first forty minutes last night but caught two or three mistakes, the most egregious being "in Schiller" used where the speaker was saying "insular."

Actually The Blood on Satan’s Claw along with other Limited Editions that they set aside for conventions have returned for both their Mid-year and Black Friday sales. I wouldn't be surprised if it was available again during the next Mid-year sale.Nw_jahrles wrote: ↑Tue Dec 14, 2021 1:01 amSeverin is tricky.

Not to worry, they probably won’t be shipping it until January.domino harvey wrote: ↑Mon Dec 13, 2021 10:31 pmI’m only stressing this because I like many people won’t be home for the holidays and I don’t want a package waiting for me on my doorstep (or worse and more likely, not) when I get back.

Mine just shipped yesterday with Priority Mail. According to USPS (so grain of salt, especially for the time of year) it should go from Phoenix --> rural upstate NY by Monday 12/20.

Two shipping updates from Flicker Alley with tracking info for the Duvivier box set which had a manufacturing delay. Crickets from Severin on my pre-ordered-a-month-ago Folk Horror box set a week before Christmas. Guess which one is a present for someone else.

From the ‘policies’ section of their website:
PLEASE NOTE: We are anticipating a unprecedented amount of Black Friday orders, which will have to ship alongside all Folk Horror and Nasty Habits orders. We would like to accomplish all shipping by end of 2021, but please be prepared for the shipping duration to last through January.
So we all could be waiting a while.

Fun fact: with a DD coupon, the set would have cost ~$144 shipped yesterday. I now paid $41 more than I could have for something they won’t even send me

I'm similarly frustrated having pre-ordered it pre-Black Friday. Gambled on it getting to a family household out of state over the holidays as I do with their sales every year, but that looks increasingly unlikely to arrive in time. Meanwhile, I received my Nunsploitation pre-order and Black Friday sales already.

Tax and shipping makes the set more like $160 (DD adds $4 for shipping because it's an oversized item). And the release date is listed as 1/25/22. Do we have reason to believe that DD is shipping this already?domino harvey wrote: ↑Thu Dec 16, 2021 5:07 pmFun fact: with a DD coupon, the set would have cost ~$144 shipped yesterday.

Both DD and Amazon have the 1/25/22 preorder date.

Sorry, I initially misread your comment as "not only could I have gotten it cheaper, but I could have also gotten it sooner."

Re: Severin Films: All the Haunts Be Ours - A Compendium of Folk Horror
My set arrives tomorrow. Honestly.i never imagined they'd get this out to anyone in December so I'm impressed. From dealing with Severin in the past I had my expectations very low so maybe that makes.a.difference with my feelings on this. I even pre-ordered something with my BF order because I figured it wouldn't arrive until January anyway (clearly that was foolish but I have enough stuff to watch anyway)
You also have to keep in mind they are dealing with a lot of orders, the holidays are approaching, there have been delays in shipping everywhere, supply shortages...and we are still living through a pandemic which leads to a lot of restrictions (and possible personnel loses)

Re: Severin Films: All the Haunts Be Ours - A Compendium of Folk Horror
Do we still expect this set to be limited to 4,000 copies? If so, I might advise putting in a separate order at DD and then selling it later on Amazon or eBay for $500 or whatever. Severin loves it when people do that

Re: Severin Films: All the Haunts Be Ours - A Compendium of Folk Horror
Got my set today (no hay either
), binge-watched "Eyes of Fire" (the theatrical version - saving Crying Blue Sky for later), "Alison's Birthday", the interview with Avery Crounse and some of the shorts (The Legend Of Sleepy Hollow was a stand-out so far). Needless to say, this presentation of "Eyes of Fire" blew my old Thai DVD out of the water. I loved this film after watching it on the crappy DVD, but this viewing increased my appreciation ten-fold. This was my first viewing of Alison's Birthday. Loved it and got properly shocked by the ending. Thanks to all who recommended it! I am really looking forward to exploring the other films in this tremendous set (I have only seen Viy and Celia from the remaining selection) and hopeful for more great finds.

Again I am left wishing I saved the hay to ensure top future resale value

Continuing with the set. Clearcut is another heavy-hitter, stacked with good extras. Really glad I finally watched it. ROBIN REDBREAST is excellent too.
I liked LEPTIRICA quite a lot. A great combination of brooding atmosphere and some unexpected humorous bits. I could not get much traction with IL DEMONIO, but it is quite exquisitely filmed. A great selection of films so far.
