Demons (DVD and Blu-ray)

It was not already release by them previously this year? Unless it was just the DVD

The House by the Cemetary (Blu-ray)

Good luck if they want to top the new one release recently by Blue Underground. Every people I know who like the genre praise highly this release.

Previous experience would say that THBTC Blu will be just as good as the BU release. So far, all BR's that Arrow have done where BU have also released one have had completely different (but same amount) of extras. Different commentaries, featurettes etc etc. Most people I know who are really into the genre have so far been picking up both releases.

In fact, these are the ones I know of:
http://www.dvdcompare.net/comparisons/film.php?fid=18092 (I would rather have Arrow for the featurettes)
http://www.dvdcompare.net/comparisons/film.php?fid=16479 (I would rather have Arrow for the commentaries and more substantial extras)
http://www.dvdcompare.net/comparisons/film.php?fid=17375 (Arrow have two versions of movie and commentary, BU have 7.1 audio - I'd go for the extras)
http://www.dvdcompare.net/comparisons/film.php?fid=17765 (Arrow for extras, BU for 7.1 audio - I'd go for extras)

Other titles of there's against Anchor Bay etc:
http://www.dvdcompare.net/comparisons/film.php?fid=11797 (Arrow for three versiuons of the film and the extras)
http://www.dvdcompare.net/comparisons/film.php?fid=11784 (Anchor Bay for me based on commentary participants but otherwise close)
http://www.dvdcompare.net/comparisons/film.php?fid=18377 (Arrow for the extras)
http://www.dvdcompare.net/comparisons/film.php?fid=17613 (Arrow for extras)

Altogether, Arrow have been very very impressive and consistent with offering a large range of extras.
