Hey thanks. I build scale models so I get into stuff like this. I used screen shots as reference and drew the jack-o'-lanterns on and used an X-Acto knife to cut them out.
That's great! I really like that they include the original poster art. I have a lot of DVD's and Blu-Rays that don't have original poster art. They've been putting custom or alternate cover art on disc cases for years so I don't see it as a problem that Shout opted to go this route but at...
I pre-ordered all 5 of the Halloween 4K's from Diabolik and they shipped yesterday. I'm still waiting for the USPS tracking to be updated but it's saying the package is at a postal facility. I'm only one state away so maybe I'll get them within a couple of days.
