I met Joe not so long ago at the LA GRINDHOUSE FILM FEST. Awesome guy. Wrong Turn 2 is going to be very, very wet!

[Kane_Hodder]

I have some questions.
First, is Horror in your House a dvd box set? Because I don't recall seeing such sets over here.
Second, Misery's dvd releasing on Oct 2 and Wrong Turn 2 Dead End on Oct 9. Those are dates for the official international dvds to be released, or just in USA?
I cannot wait for both of those, especially Wrong Turn 2.
I would be very glad if someone clears that for me.

First part has been answered by MM.

As for the second part, I think those DVD release dates are for the US versions...not sure about the international ones, unless the respective companies are releasing them worldwide.

I ll look into it and PM you later, Kane.
