Good news! 6 Films To Keep You Awake, a series of Spanish made-for-TV horror films has received a DVD release in Spain with English subtitles on each release. The DVD boxed set is going by the DVD release title of Pack Películas para no Dormir in Spain. The majority of these films are very impressive, especially Jaume Balagueró and Álex de la Iglesia's efforts. In fact I'm surprised neither of these films have been picked for remake yet. The films included in this 6-DVD boxed set from Spain are:
Disc 1: Blame
Disc 2: To Let
Disc 3: The Baby´s Room
Disc 4: The Christmas Tale
Disc 5: A Real Friend
Disc 6: Spectre

Shipping to the US is a bitch too. Hopefully there'll be a price break on the set sometime soon - these are all a lot of fun and worth checking out - kind of the Masters of Horror concept realized.
I just got the e-mail from Tony at Xploited Cinema!
He says they will have the complete box set of SIX FILMS TO KEEP YOU AWAKE late next week!
So... shipping costs be damned!
Just order it from Xploited and it'll ship from Cleveland, OH. from a site that's easily navigated!
I think I've heard of Diabolik... never used them, though.
At any rate, thanks to everyone for all their comments and helpful resources... I love this site and all the helpful, kind people on it.
I look forward to hearing reviews and thoughts on SIX FILMS TO KEEP YOU AWAKE... I've been waiting for this series to get an English subbed box set since (sheeesh! I dunno know...) late 2005 or 2006...
long time coming!
Hope I haven't built it up too bad!
Hurray! Thanks for that Junky.
Roystalin,
Not sure yet.
I'm guessing not cheap, but I could be wrong.
I suppose if you take whatever dvdgo.com is charging and add about ten bucks that's usually how Xploited Cinema runs things.
I just like the fact that I can order my DVDs from an eaily navigated site, it ships right away (and quickly!) and I sometimes like buying my import DVDs from fellow Midwestern genre dorks.
At any rate I'll pay whatever they ask... ahhhhh man! I've been waiting so long for this box set and Alex De La Iglesia and Paco Plaza are two of my all-time faves... this is going to be AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!

Like I said, Tony told me it should be late next week.
Good to see people are finally going to get to see this rather impressive lot of films! I was very impressed by the one called 'The Christmas Tale' set in the the 80s, maybe my favorite one of the bunch.
