The Blind Dead series is average, in my holier-than-thou opinion, but for some reason, I'm extremely amped for this box set. The price tag is a bit much, but I can purchase it with birthday money (my b-day falls on 9/28!).

The SRP is $99. Ouch!

[Rokyracoon68]

oh damn, i thought it would be around 50-60$.....

[IamNoOne666]

damn I want these but I don't want to spend that much, oh well I'll find a way.

I wouldnt sweat the price too much, but it is steep!

Im sure that there will be some retailers who will be competitive on the price. I have been waiting for this to happen for a hell of a long time. The Blind Dead Collection will be a welcome addition to my collection!

Theres a place on the web called 'Send Me Movies.Com' that has the boxset priced at $59.97, but they arent excepting any pre-orders as of yet. So have faith fellow schmoes and shop around for the best possible price made available.

Its going to be interesting to see Ghost Gallion aka Horror of the Zombies Un-Cut for the first time, I have heard about this version many times in the past, so I am looking forward to this.

My VHS copies of the Blind Dead are getting worn out as it is. :rolleyes: :D

Hey, you lucky fuck! Happy Birthday in advance Count, You have a great 'Blind Dead B-Day'...just dont get too "Blind Drunk"! ;) :D

[countchocula]

Heh, thanks. I don't drink, but I might get blind laid a few times. :D

[Dehydrator]

Sounds like a cool box set to me. I've recently re-checked upon Ghost Ship of the blind Dead and Bloodfeast of the blind dead and came away quite digging both although I didn't like Bloodfeast at all when I first saw it.

I'm curious if Blue Underground's Box features them all uncut - all the versions of Return of the blind dead released until now were cut, including the Anchor Bay one.

I haven't seen any of the films from the series, just looking at the tacky cover art I know I'm going to like it, a lot!!

Ouch! Your back in rare form Halo...LOL!;) :D

[jagged halo]

Er....thanks I think;)

[Psychocandy]

I've toyed with the idea of getting these movies by nefarious means for a while now but always backed off thinking that i'd be wasting my cash (even though the DVD-Rs would have cost very little...i'm a tight bastard these days when it comes to parting with my hard earned). I'm a sucker for a box set though and if it comes with an abundance of extras I can see me going for it. The movies intrigue me. Some of the imagery looks very eerie and i've read some positive articles and reviews of the first two flicks in the series.

[Jewbo]

I'll be getting this if I can find it cheap enuff to import to the UK.

Nice packaging! I haven't seen that yet. The Coffin Joe box set is also shaped like a coffin.

Perhaps there should be a sequel entitled Tomb of the Undead Seeing-Eye Dogs.
