Ironically 14 film from the Herschell Gordon Lewis catalogue are coming to Blu Ray in October:

I think Arrow are releasing them in the U.S. at the same time but I couldn't find anything on Amazon's U.S. site. So if anyone is interested in his work (an acquired taste) here is your opportunity to indulge. I'm looking for to the set as it will allow me to catch up on some of his films that I haven't seen.
Funnily enough earlier this week I watched an Australian film called Cat Sick Blues which is clearly influenced by Lewis. Extremely gory and pretty much as depraved as a film can be.

Eric would no doubt consider it a deficiency in my record, but I've never even HEARD OF any title on his list; they must not have played anywhere near me. (Considering his heyday was during my high-puberty years, if they'd even played 42nd Street, I'd be familiar with some of the names from the ads.)
