    I got a ship notice on the box from Amazon UK this morning.

      Me too. :D

      Note: in the BFI's release news yesterday or the day before, they announced another Ghost Stories set to be released in January -- but it's going to omit? some of the titles in this set. Seems strange, I'm curious what the point is.

        I can beat you chaps: my set arrived today, and I'm going to start watching it tonight :)

        Jealous yet?

        Ben, is that set that's due to be released in January omitting some of the recent adaptations and including only the original 1970s GHOST STORIES... strand? If that's the case, I can see the logic behind that.

        Btw, for those who preordered the set, its price on Amazon has gone up to £37 now!

          Paul and I win - my set arrived today too. I'm going to watch the hell out of it.

          Ben, there are two cases inside the cardboard slipcase; 1 standard Amaray for the non-James titles and a wider, 4-spindle Amaray for the James titles. I assume the latter case will be released individually as the future set - it's ready to go as a standalone.

          Spooky.

                  I've got THE UNINVITED arriving tomorrow. Barry, did you stump for the UK DVD or did the recent viewing slake your thirst?

                  I can't remember if I liked this movie... hopefully, it's Halloween-suitable.

                    Yep, got the shipping notice Monday. Plus, I didn't have to pay VAT. So there.

                    I liked it -- for all that it's serious about its scares, it's not so far off THE GHOST BREAKERS that you can't see the dumb romantic comedy skeleton of the thing (and for better and worse, Ray Milland's no Bob Hope). It's weak tea compared to the MR James stuff, but Americans never did know how to make tea.

                      Ha. Yeah, my plan is MR James after the main feature and a few shots of port. Milland's great and at least there'll be no gurning.

                      No VAT? Must be a Canadian thing.

                        I wondered about that too, Clive.

                            Yep, should have moved that out of the way But it shows off the two Amaray cases, I think; like you say, they're almost 'ready to go' as standalone releases.

                              DVDs balanced upon a CD, with remote and (ensockelled) cellphone: still life, mixed media.

                              The red & green ghostlights are merrily seasonal, too.

                              Want.
