A worthy upgrade for my Anchor Bay tin.

[Boink!]

I have those as well!

(and the Red Edition laserdisc of III )

[sariel2002]

We really need runtimes so we can work out which versions we're getting.

[silent]

I still have my ltd edition tins. recently sold the puzzle box set as I thought it was crap. may get this set but i'm not paying £50 for it. why not 4k restorations? and the whole series?

Now that's nice.

There's some discussion on this in the Clive Barker thread in the book forum (general consensus...needs editing)

Been confirmed that Hellraiser 2 will have the infamous Pinhead Surgeon Scene

Not cut into the movie though is it? I thought it was as an extra.

Looking forward to this set!

This website has some screen captures of that scene:

"Surgeon Scene – the home video world premiere of this legendary, never before-seen excised sequence from Hellbound, sourced from a VHS workprint"

[KeyserSoze]

Yeah doesn't mention if it is cut into the film.

[Jonnof]

So the full specs include a 'brand new version' of that Leviathan documentary. Anyone know what that entails? Presumably it won't be the full 8 hours?

OOP already eeek!

[Boink!]

Looking good, though I do prefer films 1, 2 & 4 as a trilogy (and leave it at that, no more Hellraiser 5, 6 & 7 nonsense).

From Arrow today: "As you’ve seen with the HELLRAISER Artwork Update via our Facebook page, and the current listing on the website, we’ve really tried to create something unique with THE SCARLET BOX. We’ve worked closely with the printers and manufacturers to perfect every element of the box and its contents, and as a result, it has taken a little longer than expected to complete the final package. The HELLRAISER Trilogy will be shipping from our store the week of October 26th, and we are expecting for them to be with you for Halloween. We know you’ve all been looking forward to this release for months now, and please know that we’ve gone to every limit to get these in your hands as soon as possible."
