Decided to import this as while some of my favourite 4K steels from Lionsgate also got UK releases (Knives Out, Halloween, Total Recall) others like Dredd and Evil Dead 1&2 didn't, and I really don't want to miss this.

What's the chance for these being stickers on the PET slip?

I'm fairly certain the ones on the front of the Halloween pet slip were removable, not sure about the ones on the spine though..

If they're not, It absolutley ruins the slip....

if iirc correctly thats a satin finish, which is only available in the US? the european equivalent would be zero, which looks a little worse?

It's spot gloss. Essentially a layer of gloss on the bottom, covered with a decent layer of matte, less the "spot" areas that left glossy on the surface.

So if the UK version is also spot gloss, it'll likely be exactly the same. It's just as likely we'll get a simple sh*t matte finish instead though..

There have been UK/EU steels with satin finishes in the past, so that's not exclusive to the US as far as I know.

To my knowledge, the term 'satin' isn't used in Europe's steelbook market. I believe 'zero' finish is Europe's equivalent of 'satin' finish in the US. I'm not saying the are exactly the same, but they are similar. Both finishes are better than matte, but obviously not as nice as gloss finish. Even when it comes to gloss finish, there are variations in quality. Very confusing I suppose.
