Box Set (Samhain Album) - Special Packaging

Special Packaging

The Box Set initially retailed at around $60.00 USD, and is now out of print. If pre-ordered online through distributor E-Magine Music's website, the first pressing of the Box Set was shipped two weeks prior to the street date, and was packaged with a bonus metal pin of the "scarecrow beast" character that appeared on Samhain T-shirts in the 1980s (similar to the one on the cover of the November-Coming-Fire album). In all pressings, each of the five CDs came in its own "mini-LP" sleeve within the box, but when they were re-released individually the following year, these sleeves were replaced with normal CD jewel-cases.

Also included in the Box Set was a comic book by Mr. Monster creator Michael T. Gilbert (with four uncredited pages by Sean Wyett, who also illustrated Danzig for the back cover of the Misfits' Legacy of Brutality), and a 32-page booklet of photographs and reprinted lyrics to Discs One and Three. The outer box cover was painted by Martin Emond, who had done artwork for several other products from singer Glenn Danzig's post-Samhain band, Danzig.
