I somehow missed the memo on Dark Half and Monkey Shines going OOP. Naturally they are all gone. Thankfully the Eureka blu-ray's are reasonably priced.

https://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=25994 "Scream Factory has detailed three upcoming Blu-ray releases: The Final Programme, Demon of the Mind, and The Mummy's Shroud. The Final Programme Synopsis: The '70s Cult Sci-Fi Thriller From The Director of The Abominable Dr. Phibes. As the world teeters on the brink of nuclear anarchy, London-based scientific genius Jerry Cornelius (Jon Finch, The Horror Of Frankenstein, Frenzy) discovers that the microfilm formula for a self-replicating human being is missing. With the help of beautiful computer expert Miss Brunner (Jenny Runacre, The Witches), Cornelius must race through a wasteland of murder and madness to recover "The Final Programme," which may very well trigger the creation of a new messiah! Released in the U.S. by Roger Corman's New World Pictures under the title The Last Days Of Man On Earth, this bizarre blend of action, sci-fi and dark satire co-stars Patrick Magee (A Clockwork Orange), Sterling Hayden (The Godfather) and Sarah Douglas (Superman II). Special Features and Technical Specs: Audio Commentary With Director Robert Fuest And Actress Jenny Runacre, Moderated By Author/Film Historian Jonathan Sothcott U.S. Theatrical Trailer U.S. TV Spot Optional English subtitles for the main feature STREET DATE: JANUARY 7. The Mummy's Shroud Synopsis: A small archaeological party headed by Sir Basil Walden (Andre Morell, The Plague Of The Zombies) discovers the hidden tomb of Kah-to-Bey. Despite the warning from the guardian, Hasmid, they take Kah-to-Bey to Cairo and place him next to the mummy of Prem, his devoted slave and protector. The mystical hieroglyphic shroud that covers Kah-to-Bey's body is read aloud by Ali and restores Prem to life, resulting in an unstoppable progression of madness and murder. Special Features and Technical Specs: NEW Audio Commentary by Author/Film Historian Bruce G. Hallenbeck The Beat Goes On: The Making Of The Mummy's Shroud Remembering David Buck World of Hammer – Mummies, Werewolves, And The Living Dead Theatrical Trailer Still Gallery Optional English subtitles for the main feature STREET DATE: JANUARY 14. Demons of the Mind Synopsis: In the 19th century, a depraved baron confronts a hereditary curse by imprisoning his two adult children in the family castle. When a nearby village is plagued by a series of murders, the killings trigger a mass hysteria of rituals and sadistic desires. Can these "demons" be destroyed by a power beyond madness ... or will a final onslaught of evil forever torment this land? Patrick Magee (A Clockwork Orange) and Paul Jones (lead singer of the band Manfred Mann) co-star in this psychological shocker from the director of To The Devil...A Daughter that many Hammer fans consider to be one of the studio's most offbeat and unique horror thrillers ever! Special Features and Technical Specs: NEW Audio Commentary By Author/Film Historian Steve Haberman NEW Interview With Camera Operator Neil Binney Blood Will Have Blood: The Making of Demons Of The Mind Audio Commentary With Director Peter Sykes, Writer Christopher Wicking, And Actress Virginia Wetherell, Moderated By Author/Film Historian Jonathan Sothcott Theatrical Trailer Optional English subtitles for the main feature STREET DATE: JANUARY 14."

Do Blu reviews Rock & Roll High School steelbook: https://www.doblu.com/2019/11/15/rock-n-roll-high-school-blu-ray-review/
I just ordered all but four of those. Came to $134, but according to eBay sold prices I should easily make $300.
I know what you mean. Rock n Roll High School was literally the last DVD that I bought before switching to blu ray and I’ve been kicking myself ever since.
Resistance is futile Paff! I actually just received mine today... had a $15 "Amazon Photos" promo from Amazon to use (actually they gave me two separate $15 promos for that, for whatever reason) so this was dirt cheap. The Steelbook itself is pretty nice looking ("TOGAR SUKKS!" graffiti is on the back if you remove the back cover print) — and just browsing quickly through the transfer now it appears to be a major upgrade from the old Blu-ray. Plus, we finally get lossless audio now, as well as the new bonus features ... so I'd say grab one.
