"Drive-In
Movie" Article!
During
the 1980s, one of the most exciting and influential movie experiences
to ever hit Saturday afternoon television was Drive-In Movie
on WNEW channel 5 in New York. The programming was unbeatable: motorcycle
movies, teen sex comedies, Japanese giant monster epics, Hammer horror
films, AIP classics and, most importantly, kung fu movies. Lots and
lots of kung fu movies. Chris Poggiali gives us the full story -- as
well as complete listings -- of one of the first programs to drag Chinese
kung fu flicks out of the grindhouses and into the living rooms of mainstream
America! Click HERE to read
more.
"Children"
DVD Recall!
VCI
Entertainment President Robert A. Blair has announced an immediate recall
on the 35th Anniversary Edition of CHILDREN SHOULDN’T
PLAY WITH DEAD THINGS – EXHUMED EDITION. (Item # 8509).
VCI has just discovered a huge error was made in the new special edition
DVD of this cult classic, which had just begun hitting the street. Apparently
a last second internal miscommunication sent the wrong DVD master to
the replicator. The master that made it thru was unfortunately cut by
several minutes and had unfinished video corrections. Thankfully VCI’s
loyal customers, and fans of the film were kind enough to notify us
of this mishap and Blair decided on an immediate recall to fix the matter.
Mr. Blair made the following statement: “We pride ourselves in
our DVD productions and this is embarrassing! When a mistake like this
happens we fix it immediately. For over 30 years VCI has stood by our
mission statement to bring our consumers the best in quality from our
line of classic and cult films.” VCI will begin an immediate recall
of the problem DVD’s and will replace them as soon as the corrected
DVD master can be replicated. All direct wholesale and retail customers
should contact a VCI Customer Service Rep by calling 800-331-4077, emailing
to vci@vcient.com, or faxing to 918-254-6117 to make arrangements. VCI
will be posting instructions on their website within a few days which
will instruct consumers how to get a free replacement disc.
Yongary:
DVD From the Deep!
Check
out SciFi
Japan for an excellent article on MGM’s Midnite Movies DVD

Services, James Owsley, who is responsible for the stunning YONGARY
transfer, as well as restorations of a number of Midnite Movies (including
WITCHFINDER GENERAL, VAMPIRE
LOVERS, CRY OF THE BANSHEE, MURDERS

BCI's
October Spanish Horror Collection Titles!
Here
are the full details on the October 23 releases of HORROR
RISES FROM THE TOMB and THE LORELEY'S GRASP
from BCI/Deimos Entertainment. In 15th century France, the warlock Alaric
de Marnac is beheaded for crimes against humanity and his equally vile
mistress viciously killed, but not before the pair put a curse upon
the decedents of their executioners. So starts HORROR RISES FROM THE
TOMB, one of Paul Naschy's most gruesome and sensational films. With
its midnight séances, the undead rising from marshes, generous
doses of nudity, blood-drenching heart-ripping and eerie atmosphere,
HORROR RISES FROM THE TOMB rightfully deserves its place as a hallmark
of euro-horror. (READ
