  1. AGFA/SWV has confirmed to me that they will release a Blu-ray of Ed Wood's rare TAKE IT OUT IN TRADE (1970) sometime in 2018. You might want to list it in your
    Future Undated section of Cinema Arcana.

    1. Added the other day -- I imagine it'll have the complete Outtakes that SWV sells, plus a Rudolph Grey / Frank Henenlotter commentary, and Ed Wood trailers. Definitely looking forward to these SWV / AGFA collaborations!

  2. Fred Olen Ray will be releasing a DVD version of RAT FINK on January 23rd, 2018, according to Amazon.com.

    1. Thanks! Updated everything today -- been on vacation all week!

  3. THE INCREDIBLE SHRINKING MAN (1957) is being released as a Blu-ray by Arrow Films on November 14th. I don't see it on your list.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. That's a U.K.-only release. My list only covers U.S. discs -- keeping up with international releases as well would be a nightmare! Fantastic movie, though; I'll definitely be grabbing their Blu!

      Delete
  4. Kino will release both the original theatrical and later "musicalized" versions of JACK THE GIANT KILLER (1962) on a Blu-ray disc in 2018.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I saw -- it's about time we get a release with both versions!

      Delete
  5. A spokesman for SWV just emailed me and said that TAKE IT OUT IN TRADE will be released in November of 2018 by AGFA/SWV.

    Given the time of year, I wonder if it will become a hot stocking-stuffer for the holiday season?

    1. I'm still patiently waiting for THE FARMER to someday see the day of light for that longly awaited DVD/Blu ray release(unless another company buys it out of Scorpion Releasing's hands[since Scorpion are taking forever to release that film{unless they decide to eventually release it alongside HUMAN EXPERIMENTS in the next 20 years}]).

      Delete
    2. You and me, both! I was under the impression HUMAN EXPERIMENTS should be coming soon, so at least there's that.

      Delete
    3. It's now in the Coming Soon on Ronin Flix. Kino is supposed to be distributing a DVD edition.

      Delete
  6. Do you think "Forced Entry" will be released anytime soon?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Haha, who the heck knows? They recorded the commentary over a decade ago!

      Delete
    2. OK thanks anyway. I thought you might have some inside info!

      Delete
  7. You might want to list THE BUBBLE (roadshow edition) in the future undated file. Bob Furmanek just commented that the extra footage in original film elements (perhaps 12 more minutes of footage, I believe) is currently being scanned for a restored Blu-ray release. The previous Blu-ray was struck from the more common shorter edition.

    IIRC, the original uncut film materials had belonged to star Deborah Walley!

    ReplyDelete
  8. To update my previous note, I believe that the roadshow version is actually 21 minutes longer, rather than 12 minutes.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. That's pretty significant! Will the new disc also be through Kino?

      Delete
  9. There hasn't been a specific label announced, although I think that Kino would be the logical company for such a release.

    ReplyDelete
  10. Snappy Video has announced they're doing blu-rays of Angels Die Hard and Bury Me An Angel. Don't know how it will play out since I thought Roger Corman owned these two films. Then I thought Shout has rights to Bury Me An Angel,but is one of the Corman titles they're sitting on due to sales on being good on Corman titles? https://swatthefly.wixsite.com/website

  11. I don't think that THE COLOSSUS OF RHODES is streeting today. In fact, I don't think that a street date for it has been announced as of yet.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Thanks for the reminder -- I've been meaning to bump that and DARK OF THE SUN to the Undated section but kept forgetting!

      Delete
  12. One person on another forum thinks that DARK OF THE SUN (and maybe COLOSSUS OF RHODES?) might street on May 29th. However, I've seen no official confirmation of that.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Does this site only list US upcoming releases? There are some good titles coming out soon in the UK which would be of interest to readers of this board.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Amazon is now accepting preorders for MANSFIELD 66/67, a documentary about Jayne's dalliance with Anton LaVey and the Church of Satan. Street date is July 3rd, next week. The film also covers her last two years.

    ReplyDelete
  15. according to a Kino insider, both WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO AUNT ALICE and THE GRISSOM GANG have been delayed from October, unfortunately.

    ReplyDelete
  16. WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO AUNT ALICE now has a street date of January 8th, 2019.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Here's a few titles that deserve to be on this awesome list, The Streetfighter series from Shout!Factory, Lialeh and Water Power from Code Red. Thanks again for this list of awesomeness. Happy Holidays!

    ReplyDelete
  18. For some reason I wasn't receiving email notifications regarding these messages -- apologies if you thought I was ignoring you! Thanks for the input!

    ReplyDelete
  19. does any company have the Republics Captain America serial on their upcoming list? VCI was trying for the rights at one time.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Not that I've seen. They were released on DVD in the UK if you can play PAL, though.

      Delete
  20. According to a Kino spokesperson, HERCULES IN THE HAUNTED WORLD is being delayed from August 20th. No reason given, or new street date specified as of yet.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Yeah, I just read that this morning. According to Tim Lucas, it's being postponed for the inclusion of another extra and should be worth the delay.

      Delete
  21. Get Crazy(1983) is supposed to be coming soon from Kino Lorber.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I read that, but forgot to add it. Thanks! Great movie -- I can't wait to pick it up.

      Delete
  22. A couple of upcoming titles I don't see listed:

    BEAST WITH A MILLION EYES (Scorpion)
    THE MAGIC SWORD (Kino)

    ReplyDelete
  23. looks like Severin has found an Italian, uncut version of WEREWOLF IN A GIRLS'S DORMITORY.

    ReplyDelete
  24. EEGAH-THE NAME WRITTEN IN BLOOD Blu-ray release from the Film Detective now has a street date of Nov. 26th.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Wasn't it already available from them before?

  26. Maestro, Film Detective did previously release the film on DVD. This new release is in the Blu-ray format. The new transfer is described as "a 4K restoration," but it might be from the same elements that yielded the DVD. I do think that the extras are new, at least the interview with Arch Hall, Jr. However, I don't have a copy of their DVD, so I'm speculating about that.

    ReplyDelete
  27. The upcoming Film Detective Blu of EEGAH is a brand new restoration from the original camera negative, recently unearthed by Something Weird Video.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Great news, if accurate. I assume that the OCN hasn't previously been accessed for the PD releases of EEGAH. I wonder if SWV unearthed any other Arch Hall or Ray Dennis Steckler negatives, as well?

    ReplyDelete
  29. GOLIATH AND THE VAMPIRES will be a 4K remaster coming from Kino in 2020.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I put it on the list the other day as SAMSON VS. THE VAMPIRES, since that seems to be what Kino are calling it. Fun flick, though -- can't wait to see its new remaster!

      Delete
    2. And thanks for keeping an eye out for me!

      Delete
  30. Well, I had looked for it as either GOLIATH AND THE VAMIRES or MACISTE VS. THE VAMPIRES. I wasn't looking for Samson!

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Haha, who would?! It's probably the least-used title for the film!

  31. For your listing of The Al Adamson Masterpiece Collection, I see that you didn't list NURSES FOR SALE, which appears on disc 9 according to their official trailer preview.

    1. Thanks! Updated, plus corrected the order of the films in the set.

  32. HORRORS OF SPIDER ISLAND (Severin)--May 26
    LET'S KILL UNCLE (Kino)--June 2
    KISS OF THE VAMPIRE CE (Scream Factory)--July 14

    ReplyDelete
  33. No new additions or updates to this list?

    ReplyDelete
  34. Just wondering if I missed an announcement that the list would no longer be updated? If so, is there a comparable resource?

    ReplyDelete
  35. Sad to see this great resource languishing... I hope Mr. Holecheck is okay.

  36. This page really seems to be dead now... R.I.P.
