This was the first time I waited next to my computer to preorder the moment the sale starts, so was kinda let down by their decision. But you're right, Halloween is not that far away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely don't want to miss out on the red case of this title even if a cheaper standard release will follow. So I'll be there on Halloween with you ready to pounce! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Day 3 of the HALLOWEEN SALE announcements brings us to something we’ve just been bursting at the seams with excitement about here at MM HQ. Indonesian cult films are near and dear to our hearts, and it’s been too long since we unleashed one on the unsuspecting public. But now, after years of searching and negotiating, we can finally bring you … SPECIAL SILENCERS (1982) Special Silencers is a legendary entry into the Indonesian “cult film” cannon. Chock full of crazy martial arts, unbelievably yucky special effects, a touch of black magic – and even torture by smelly shoes. This one has got it all. The film was never, to our knowledge, released theatrically outside Indonesia and the only English friendly version was an old VHS released in the Netherlands in the 1980s, cropped to 4:3 from its original scope aspect ratio and with on-screen Dutch subtitles. That VHS generated a huge buzz in film collecting circles once its content became known. This was a period when much crazy Asian cinema was circulating, but Special Silencers was always given pride of place, alongside obscurities like Witch with Flying Head. The plot is simplicity itself. A corrupt politician in rural Indonesia wants to impose himself as the boss of the local territory. To do this he has to eliminate the competition. To do that he uses his “special silencers” - small red pills apparently intended to enhance meditative states. But when taken with food or drink they erupt inside the victim’s stomach and emerge through the flesh like ragged, blood covered tree branches. It literally has to be seen to be believed. But that’s not all… the film features the dynamic duo (soon to be husband and wife) of Eva Arnaz and Barry Prima. Big stars in Indonesia at the time and both skilled martial artists. Seeing Eva kick bad-guy ass is a joy to behind. She, along with Barry, was one of the jewels in the crown of Indonesian exploitation cinema and Special Silencers has lots of her. This is the first ever release of the film in its intended aspect ratio and it’s a revelation, with widescreen, jaw dropping real-time action and stunt work. Director Arizal was famed for his high energy set pieces in films such as The Stabilizer and Final Score. Here he outdoes himself. Not to be missed. DISC FEATURES Region Free HD restored feature supplied by Parkit Films Extended version of film with a few SD inserts Indonesian audio with optional Eng subs; English dub Mondo Macabro episode on Indonesian cinema Audio commentary by Andrew Leavold LIMITED EDTION FEATURES Double sided sleeve with new artwork by Justin Coffee and original poster art;12 page full color booklet; 1500 numbered copies in the usual red case On sale as part of the FLASH PRE-SALE on Friday, October 20th at 9 AM Pacific at mondomacabro.bigcartel.com, and again as part of the HALLOWEEN SALE bundle from October 31st at 9AM also at mondomacabro.bigcartel.com!

That's one of my most anticipated titles upcoming from Mondo Macabro. I really hope they do release this year as planned and there are no delays. Holy crumpet! I never searched for this and initially I was going to pass as I saw a lot of western names being mentioned on the front cover. But I went ahead and swnt my sister the link to the website last night. I've only just seen this post about it with the pictures. It looks as gory as Peter Jackson's "Braindead". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it is in stock old item shipping is $5, for pre-orders it is $16. If you had added it to Silencers total shipping would have been $17.50 so 3.5$ difference if you buy separately 16$+5$ for postman. I am thinking do I need anything from MM store, those prices and cheap shipping they beat Wowhds free shipping with 15% code off from 3 or more items. " One new thing for this sale will be a DEEP discount on shipping rates. The new pre-orders will have the same shipping rates as usual but everything else will SLASHED! While rates vary a little bit depending on the item, all retail Blu releases and all DVDS will have the following shipping fee structure - US - $1 first item, 0.25 for each additional item. Canada - $3 first item, $1 for each additional item. Everywhere else - $5 first item, $1.50 for each additional item."
