THE GOOD NEWS - Shipping on the long-delayed Halloween LEs will begin next week!

THE LESS GOOD NEWS - There are a LOT of orders to fulfil, the most we've ever had. The one-person shipping dept will be getting a little bit of help, but it's still going to take a full month or longer to get all orders out.

Please refrain from sending "where is my order?" emails until you get the word from us that the mailout is finished. We won't be answering them anyway.

Also, be advised that the Big Cartel storefront will close down this upcoming Monday and be out of operation during the entirety of the shipping process. It will reopen once the mailout is done, with the full back catalog, including the LAST copies of the now OOP BOLLYWOOD HORROR boxset, plus two brand new LE pre-orders that will more or less begin shipping as soon as they go on sale!

Thanks to all who have been waiting patiently, and even to those who haven't! We know it's been a long wait, but it's finally coming to an end.

Mi pedido, tras 8 días de la notificación inicial de "envíado" (a pesar de estar el paquete pdte. de recoger por el courier en orígen durante todo ese tiempo), ha salido esta madrugada de Países Bajos, con lo que estoy chequeando la web de ADTPostales frecuentemente para evitar "sorpresas" con sus demenciales tarifas.

Mi miedo es a ver por donde nos sale esta gente con el tema de los dichosos aranceles :sudor

Pues nada, hace unos minutos he visto que ya me sale la opción del pago de aranceles en la web de ADTPostales: 2,33 € :agradable

Correos me ha entregado el paquete hace un rato, sin sorpresas adicionales :agradable

Se me pasó responder por aquí. Yo recibí el último bundle (junto al pack de Bollywood Horror) hace dos semanas, y, como siempre, el pago a realizar en ADT es mínimo, del orden que dices, dado que la declaración es muy baja.

Veremos cómo regula el gobierno las importaciones desde EE.UU. a partir de ahora, y si suponen algún cambio para particulares (recordemos: actualmente el pago de aranceles solo aplica a partir de 150€ de valor declarado, y supone un 2.5% del mismo). Todavía es muy pronto, pero mi sospecha es que no será un cambio radical o inasumible en este sentido. :agradable

Anunciados los 3 próximos títulos :cortina

Mario Sabato’s 1976 film THE POWER OF DARKNESS
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Gwt4z-Ea...jpg&name=large

First up we have an obscure surrealist mystery film from Argentina! Our first Latin American release in many years!

Fernando Vidal, a formerly wealthy man now living in a tiny single room in Buenos Aires, is accosted one evening by someone who claims to be a childhood friend. Vidal denies ever having met him. But later the stranger turns up at his threadbare apartment and begins to ask questions about their childhood together – reminding Fernando about how he would catch birds and poke out their eyes just to see if they could fly without sight. These long-suppressed memories start to haunt Fernando and he becomes increasingly detached from reality.

From that point on, strange events accumulate in his life. A seemingly drunk neighbor tells him about sighting a huge bird – a warning of disasters to come. Fernando begins to notice blind men everywhere in the city, some even following him through the nighttime streets and onto subway trains. Finally, his childhood friend tells him that he has discovered a secret society of the blind which is plotting to take over the world. And suddenly Fernando begins to see evidence of this everywhere. Following a series of clues, he climbs the stairs of an old apartment building in a deserted section of the city and finds himself lost in a vast and dark labyrinth where bizarre and terrifying visions flash in and out of view. Somewhere in the void, he is convinced, lies the answer to all his problems. He steps forward, as the darkening shadows swallow him up.

Part crazed conspiracy theory, part horror story and part philosophical inquiry, The Power of Darkness is a film like no other. Although based on a highly regarded novel - On Heroes and Tombs - the film has been more or less forgotten. This is its first English friendly release and is a must see for adventurous film watchers.

Next up today we have our first release of a film by celebrated Spanish auteur Eloy de la Iglesia!

It’s the provocative 70s exploitation/thriller FORBIDDEN GAME OF LOVE

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Gwt7bMRb...jpg&name=large
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Gwt7bMEb...jpg&name=large

Breaking for Summer vacation, popular literature teacher Don Luis wishes his students well and sets them a holiday project on the myth of “delayed revenge”. Later, driving away from the city, Don Luis sees two of his students - Miguel and Julia - hitch hiking. He offers them a ride and they eventually agree to spend the night at Don Luis’s isolated house in the country, which they soon discover is a palatial mansion with extensive private grounds.

The young lovers get to spend their first night in bed together and discuss the possibility of staying on in the large house, its only other inhabitant being Jaime (Simon Andreu), a man in his 30s, who seems to be some sort of servant to Don Luis. The next day they decide to go for a walk, only to discover that the tall iron gates of the house are firmly chained shut. They challenge Don Luis, who then produces a pistol and they realize that they are now prisoners, along with Jaime.

What then follows is a series of bizarre and sexually charged “games” which seem designed to break down their spirit of resistance and force them to accept Don Luis as their superior and mentor. However, when Don Luis finally returns to his teaching duties, Miguel, Julia and Jaime begin to see a way to reverse the power balance. As things change in the house, the forbidden game becomes one of life and death.

The film was very controversial when first released, being seen as a comment on the fascist dictatorship of General Franco and suffered 42 censor cuts. This present version - the first English friendly release of the film - is fully uncut and restored from the original negative. It’s a startling and sometimes shocking film that richly deserves rediscovery.

Last up today is one of the wildest movies ever made by Eurocult favorite Leon Klimovsky!

It’s the deranged gender-bending sci-fi/thriller/social critique film I HATE MY BODY

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Gwt-efwa...jpg&name=large
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Gwt-ef0b...jpg&name=large

Lecherous businessmen Ernest and Peter go out for an evening of fun with two girls from work. There’s a lot of drinking and dancing and more than a little suggestion of frolics to follow, particularly when Ernest has the idea they swap partners. The two men set off in their cars with their respective dates. Ernest, in no fit state to be behind the wheel, roars with laughter as they speed off into the dark night. Momentarily distracted as he glances at his attractive passenger, he loses control of the car. They crash into the side of a bridge and the vehicle bursts into flames.

The bodies are rushed to the nearest hospital where both Ernest and his passenger are certified dead on arrival. However, the hospital’s surgeon, Dr. Adolf Berger - a former medic in a Nazi death camp - discovers that Ernest’s brain is still intact. Encouraged by his female assistant, Lydia, Berger decides to try out his long-cherished experiment- transplanting a brain from one body to another. However, the only body available is that of a young woman, Leda Schmidt, also technically dead in the hospital morgue. Casting aside all scruples, Berger begins the operation...

This outrageous film, which now has much contemporary relevance, was directed by horror specialist Leon Klimovsky the man behind Paul Naschy’s Werewolf and the Vampire Woman and numerous other Spanish “fantaterror” classics. The disc includes many exclusive extras and the feature has been fully restored.
