We have various releases which have gone out of print and we
thought that our blog might be a good place to address what this means; how it
happens and why.
A particular version of a release may go out of print for
one of two reasons. The first and most simple is that a release goes out print
because it is superseded by another release. This is especially true if special
packaging is involved such as a SteelBook or Slipbox. Along this theme another
reason might be in the case of an upgrade where an older DVD becomes redundant
due to a new restoration, packaging or new special edition. This is the case
with some of our releases including the first DVD of The House by the Cemetery
(later re-issued from a new HD restoration), SteelBooks of Battle Royale and Zombie
Flesh-Eaters as well as various Slipbox editions (all still available in the
usual Arrow Video packages).
