I preordered Shawscope 3. As for the rest, my wallet needs a break, so thank you Arrow for not releasing anything else I need!

I immediately got excited for A Simple Plan, it's a great movie which I love. I have the US DVD which I ordered as soon as it was available.
Its usually on BBC iPlayer in HD and sadly only got a German and Japan Blu-ray release.
Unless I'm wrong, this is sadly a US only release as the film isn't up for preorder on the UK site whereas the rest are.
That'll make for a pricey import as it's listed at $35.

Oh arse, I just checked the graphic.
I might have got the price wrong as well, Amazon US has it listed as almost $50. Price all in to the UK, £55. Ouch. I guess, as usual, it's a rights thing, probably with Paramount.
It's still on iPlayer with no sign of leaving anytime soon. Maybe I'll, errr, remove it from that service. cough
The Shawscope one is a no-brainer. I'd usually wait for them to reduce the price quite a bit but, as previously mentioned, I'd read somewhere that the first two had run numbers that were too high and they are making less of this round. I might roll the dice on it.
Tomie is Interesting but Arrow have previously released sets for Ringu and Ju-on and I presume they must have a Tomie set in the works (there are nine films, so it'd be a big one) but I don't know...
A Simple Plan looks well worth picking up. Always love a bit of Raimi.
I enjoyed The Invasion more than I thought I would as another Invasion of the Body snatchers remake but don't have a hankering to buy it.
Elvira is a tricky one as the nostalgia is not so strong on this side of the Pond but that first film is half decent comedy horror, the second... not so much.
All told, a decent slate.
