Beautiful design work on this package. I went to see the movie last week and thought the music was really on point, the cinematography, the language, the sets... everything was brilliant. The movie is less scary than I thought it would be but it is very tense. My non-soundtrack-collecting friends told me they loved the music and I should buy it.

Will the signed copies be available only via Milan Webshop? Because it still does not ship to Turkey for some reason :(

Super nice cover. Really curious about the movie. It doesn't play anywhere in the Netherlands.
The bit of the score I heard was very terrifying :-)

The movie is awesome! I posted my quick review of the movie in the film section, I'll repost here on my own opinion of the film:

The witch was one of the most oppressively unsettling pieces of film I've seen. Not necessarily scary, but unease and atmosphere that just gets under your skin. It's also one of the best depictions of that type of fear and uncertainty and religious panic from that part of early American history, with by far some of the best depictions of New England folklore I've ever seen .

as a folklorist, this was a film that I've been wanting for longer than I knew, a truly dark American fairy tale culled from the folklore traditions of our European past and mixed with the terror of an alien land.

These are the stories and myths that are the backbone of our own relatively infant folk traditions, Our Halloween traditions owe as much to Puritan folktales and fear mongering as they do to Samhain and other festivals of the dead. This movie has permanently found a place on my annual October watch list.

And the score is great too :)

Also I saw it at my local Alamo and realized I owned almost every piece of media shown in the pre show, what that says I don't know. One very cool part was a nice clip from Haxan set to the track "sighs" from suspiria. I don't know if that was something the Alamo put together but t was really cool.

I wonder if mondo will put out the rescore they hosted a few weeks ago.

Anyway, that's my two cents (or a bit more)

Cheers

With respect to the Euro folk and the high shipping they pay, I have a hard enough time with Mondo's $7 shipping but $9.49 to ship The Witch really is annoying.....am I getting a $5 box to go with the $4 it costs to ship that record?

I did pay it though to get the autographed edition but I wasn't happy.

yeah, i'm getting an error page on that link -- what was the price? I have it pre-ordered with Bullmoose for $20 including shipping...

The price was $22.98 plus tax & shipping.

I recall seeing 2 listings for it, a signed & unsigned, also $22.98, which seems to be gone also. Maybe it was put up prematurely?

I bet it was put up prematurely cuz they had said they were going to announce it in advance

I agree Hatter. No info was given to me though. I just happen to go the Milan site & there it was. Obviously wanted to give a heads up here since it's just the first 100.
Bub! Holy smokes! What's up, Bub? How's it going?
Mateo! Been good dude. Nice to see you around these parts again!

I paid $34.42 for a signed one. Wonder if it will be canceled or honored.
