The only way you won't be able to play them is if you have changed your player's region to 0 (region free).

If the disc are RCE (and the Icons of Suspense weren't) then just re-enter the hack and choose Region 1. You can then watch them before hacking again back to Region 0.

RCE looks for a number but doesn't recognise 0, 1 is fine; discs will play.

I received my Icons of Horror collection today.

After all the whining I did about the lack of decent artwork on the previous Icons of Suspense set it makes me wonder if Hammer had been listening. The Horror set has some fine disc art and a sticker on the case saying "Fan Approved Artwork".

I thought RCE died out years ago. I've bought hundreds of R1 discs to play on my region free player and have never had any problems.

I can't recall RCE being used in a long time.

The 'fan approved artwork' was organised by Sony/Columbia a while back.

Hammer's 'Crescendo' is available via the Warner Archive program on R1. Expensive but a very nice print.
