I'll most likely grab Underworld 3 on Blu...probably not Predator 2 unless it's budget priced. I already have it on DVD and it's not a "favorite" that I would want to upgrade that badly. |

Those boxed sets look nicely presented and it looks like a lot of care was put into assembling them. Good stuff for the Aussie fans. A definitive "Heisei" boxed set would be nice in the states as opposed to those flipper discs we got for some of the films. Too bad the set doesnt include all the Heisei offerings. |

There remain a handful of cult horror films that have not been released to DVD. Thankfully, that list will soon be a little shorter because Shout! Factory is releasing Kingdom Of The Spiders(1977) to special edition (Region 1) DVD on January 19, 2010. The film will be presented uncut, in its original widescreen aspect ratio and with lots of extras including an interview with William Shatner, one of the stars of this film. Any horror movie fan would do well to purchase this DVD if for no other reason than to see William Shatner, who obviously gained lasting fame as "Captain James Kirk" in the 60's Star Trek TV series and subsequent big screen films, turn in a memorably campy performance as "Rack Hansen" in Kingdom Of The Spiders.
