So it was mentioned on the Severin Films podcast that came out the other day that their boxed set is still being worked on but it's close to being ready for announcement.

Was their ever an uncut version in circulation, either in cinemas or on video?Originally Posted by Ian Miller
I spent some part of the Christmas hols putting together a 9000 or so word piece on Andy Milligan's quintet of British films, encompassing NIGHTBIRDS, THE RATS ARE COMING! THE WEREWOLVES ARE HERE!, BLOODTHIRSTY BUTCHERS, THE MAN WITH TWO HEADS and THE BODY BENEATH. This has been published by Horrified Mag on their website.

Great piece, Paul!
Rock! Shock! Pop!
Thanks, Ian. It was fun to do the research for this, as I revisited almost all of the Millligan films that are available over Christmas. Gave me a chance to hide away from the news for a while.

Haha! I should have posted that here too. This box seems like it'll be really impressive in the end.
Boom!

He’s been described as “The Fassbinder of 42nd Street” (Artforum), “a celebration of hate” (Bleeding Skull) and “an unmatched voice from the underbelly of low-budget cinema” (Rue Morgue). More than a quarter century after his death, he remains perhaps the most divisive name in genre history. Severin Films now presents the cranium-cleaving collection devoted to writer/actor/director Andy Milligan – “a gay sadist who pioneered New York’s avant-garde theater world and made astonishingly unique exploitation movies” (Diabolique Magazine) – on 8 Blu-rays featuring 14 surviving films from his NYC and London years, 10+ hours of trailers, outtakes, interviews & audio commentaries, a bonus CD and an all-new 128-page book by Stephen Thrower that explores the profane madness behind it all. From his provocative underground work through his international scuzz-horror classics, experience the venomous legacy of the filmmaker Time Magazine calls “depraved, degenerate, desperate, damned” like never before.

Ooh! This looks great and thanks to a tax rebate I've placed an order. I'm surprised that 'House Of Seven Belles' isn't tucked away in the box (did Refn ask for too much money?) but this is still going to be worth it.
Ordered. This was already going to be the greatest set ever, as far as I was concerned, but it's even better than I was expecting.
