Feb 16th 2026 update

Here are some TV shipping updates for those who have preorders:

- In the Mouth of Madness: currently shipping Terror Vision Record Club copies. Once that mailing is wrapped, we’ll ship to everyone else

- Slashers: waiting on packaging from Microforum, LPs are already pressed

- Silent Night Deadly Night: same as above. LPs have been pressed for weeks, just waiting on the redos of the packaging (first batch was no good). Expected to land at our pressing plant on 2/24.

- Boggy Creek CDs (and thus the bundle): CDs landed earlier today and now, we ship. Bundles first, everyone else after.

- All the VHS (Thanksgiving, Boggy, Paramount titles). Pallet is on its way to us now with an expected landing date of next Weds. Once they land, we’ll start with oldest order first and get caught up on them.

- New Religion: don’t have tracking yet but they’re wrapped as of Friday. Usually a 5-7 day transit from CA so should be able to ship next week or the following Monday.

- The Basement and The Last Screening: both are wrapped and are currently being assembled and shrinkwrapped. Then they’ll ship to us. Should receive them by the 25th.

- 90s Nightmares and Shoestring 2: glass masters for both have been made and proofs are approved. They should be finished sometime in March.

- Happy Hell Night: packaging proofs approved and in motion. Waiting for authored disc to upload. Should ship to us in March.

- Best Worst Movie: I’m told this is a week off from The Basement and Last Screening (same manufacturer). Long approved so we should have them in our mitts soon.

- Patchwork: all art approved. Master uploaded. Waiting on a test disc for approval and then they’ll print. Should have them in March.

- Hide and Go Shriek and Student Bodies: both are in the same place with a different problem. Packaging has been in hand for literally months, and with HAGs the BD is good and the UHD is bunk and on Student Bodies the opposite. We’re requiring new test discs and are awaiting those. Thank GOODNESS we’re doing test discs now as both would’ve required a replacement program. So yes, taking longer this way but at least no replacement program.

- Last but not least…GATOR BAIT 1&2: GB1 has been done and authored for a few weeks. GB2 we have some exciting updates. During us acquiring several reels of some OTHER films, we uncovered some footage recently that had some snippets and trims from GB2. This footage has only been available from an Italian VHS and never made it stateside even with the DVD that the Sebastian’s released. This includes more violence, nudity, and a few extended shots that were never released in the U.S. We were able to scan those elements and re-introduce them into our version. Sorry for being a little silent on these details but we have to make sure everything is foolproof before we give details on something so significant for the release.  UHD is incredibly complicated when using source material that isn’t film and in this case we have BETA SP, VHS, DVD, Laserdisc, and using our IN and IP of Gator Bait II.

So much work went into this release from so many parties; we are very grateful for all the teamwork. Couldn’t have done it without all our peers to present something like that. Truly monumental.

Special thanks to; Jaime Busby, Danny Nguyen, and The Gotham Photochemical Team. Big thanks to Michael D’Angelo and his team at Paramount. Thank you to Todd Weiner, Steven Hill, and Staci Hogsett at UCLA. Huge shoutout to Michael Keene. Thank you to the Sebastian Family and to everyone else that was involved with this project to start to finish.

When will Gator Bait finish and ship? Hoping for late March/early April but don’t quote me on that till we get GB2 authored. The good news is, the finish line is near, and it’s a better release than we even thought possible with the additional material we found. THANKYOU for your extreme patience with this title. You have no idea how much we appreciate it.
