THE BEYOND

The seven dreaded gateways to hell are concealed in seven cursed places…

And on the day the gates of hell are opened, the dead will walk the earth!

From legendary Italian horror master Lucio Fulci comes the ultimate classic of supernatural terror. A cursed hotel, built over one of the seven gateways to hell, becomes a malevolent abyss that begins devouring both the bodies and the souls of all who enter in a graphic frenzy of gory crucifixions, brutal chain-whippings, eyeball impalements, sulphuric acid meltdowns, flesh-eating tarantulas, throat-shredding demon dogs and ravenous bloodthirsty zombies. THE BEYOND is a towering achievement in hair-raising, mind-bending cinematic terror!

Nice use of an out-of-context Ebert review quote!! Not an overwhelmingly positive write-up, IIRC. Stoked for the Terry Levene interview!

As I mentioned in the MASSACRE MAFIA STYLE thread, Amazon has March 24, 2015 as the new release date for THE BEYOND. It is already pressed and packaged, so I have no idea why it is getting delayed.

From FB:

"We are sorry to report that MASSACRE MAFIA STYLE and THE BEYOND have been delayed once again. The Criterion-style cases that we use are still not in stock. This three month shortage has been a nightmare for us since we also use these cases for CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST and CORRUPTION, which are also on back-order at this point. I have been told that the shipment of cases has finally arrived in the US and is on its way to our manufacturer in San Francisco via truck. They are scheduled to arrive some time next week, barring weather delays. Once the cases arrive, MASSACRE MAFIA STYLE will be assembled first and ready to ship for the new release date of March 10. THE BEYOND has more complex packaging and needs to be hand assembled. There are also considerably more pre-orders. Therefore, to be safe, our distributor has given THE BEYOND the release date of March 24. We are hoping it will be ready sooner, and it will ship as soon as it is. We'll keep you posted. Thanks for your continued patience.

Cases?? We don need no stinkin' Cases!

Weird as some review copies went out, ahhh the frustrations of Grindhouse Releasing.

From Diabolik's FB page:

"THE BEYOND is here for those that preordered. The good news is that they all have the glow in the dark slipcover, the bad news is that they came in late friday afternoon so we spent all weekend prepping the orders and they will start going out today. Because they arrived so close to street date, it is unfortunate that they will not be with you on street date and it is going to take us several days to get them out the door so please have some patience. We really do appreciate your business. Also, just a side note that GONE WITH THE POPE has not arrived yet but as soon as they are in, we will be adding them to the pile!! THANK YOU"

Do we know if this is taken from the same dodgy source as the Arrow release from a few years back?

Yes, it is.

I was under the impression that it was a different print.

I was under the impression that it was a different print.

Wish it was. This new Grindhouse release is a little better than the Arrow one but far from being a great release. Wish I didn't pre-order it from Diabolik. Check this out:

Even still, it looks quite a bit better than the Arrow release:
