NEW STUFF IN AND AROUND THE SWDB IN 
OCTOBER 2025:
Support the SWDb
Those of you who feel inclined to donate a dollar or euro or yen or real or whatever, head here. PayPal has improved the donation experience, check it out - and you don’t even need a PayPal account to donate. Also, whenever you shop at Amazon, click on one of the SWDb’s Amazon links first, it doesn’t matter which one and what you buy. We can really use the cash to beef up the server infrastructure, and if we can get enough donations we should finally hire someone to fix some major issues with the underlying tech to make the SWDb better and safer again.

Home video news:
October was not very impressive. Mostly re-issues, plus Hellbenders arrived in the UK (no UHD though).
November is also not super impressive. A major recommendation is Radiance’s Robert Hossein box set that includes The Taste of Violence (see our review), and for those wanting some Corbucci on 4K UHD can do that as well (Germany). The rest are mostly re-releases. Let’s see if December gets more exciting.
Please check the calendar regularly, we often update it several times a day!

Obituaries
Our head of obits, the spaghettiologist @Tom_B had to update the boot hill cemetery with an unfortunate 8 new obituaries over the course of the last four weeks. Rest in peace!
