    Shock and Gore: The Films of Herschell Gordon Lewis (Arrow US LE 500 Boxset All Region) (US CUSTOMERS ONLY) »

    Arrow Video (UK) and Diabolik DVD (US) have forged a partnership of gore and greatness and just announced this H. G. Lewis box set, limited to 500 copies in the US and 500 copies in the UK. This release is stacked; 14 films on Blu-Ray and DVD, tons of supplementary material, artwork, commemorative items and even vinyl. Here's a run-down of the limited edition contents:

    A full list of details, including a breakdown of the content on each disc, can be found on the Diabolik product page. (see second link above)

    At first I winced at the price, but considering all that's included in the box, for me it's well worth it. Just pre-ordered my copy.

    It appears to already be sold out at Diabolik.

    That's kinda the way I feel about HGL films.

    What? No Gore Gore Girls?
     
  5. Oh it's in there, if you look at the full content listing at the top link.

    Anyway, this was the movie that made me appreciate what a skilled auteur Ed Wood was.

    True. The Herschel Gordon Lewis films are really bad, but I don't dispute there are fans of his out there.

    By the way, limiting the run to 500 copies seams a little low. I would have gone for 1,000

    The deluxe Shock and Gore set mentioned above is limited to 500 copies in the US and 500 in the UK, so 1000 copies total.

    There is another, less elaborate, set that contains all of the same Blu-rays and DVDs that are in the Shock and Gore set, but they're pressing 2500 copies of that one (can't remember if that's a worldwide total or if it's 2500 each in the US and UK).
