Already have most of these and would have liked to have seen Blood and Black Lace included but I'll keep an eye on this as the extras may entice me.
For anyone interested in Bava but has held off, this is a perfect entry point.

In that case, will definitely have to go for this.

I have preordered it from Zavvi in June and this is what I got today after I sent them a question: I am really sorry that this has not yet been dispatched. Macabre Visions: The Films of Mario Bava is on special order for you with our supplier but at this time they are unable to give me a date for when they will have it back in stock. Their preorder means crap.
