I'm glad to see Kino Lorber giving Scream Factory a run for its money in terms of the Vincent Price films.

Ditto. I'm very happy to see these films finally beginning to receive a blu ray release.

I'm beginning to think it might be simpler if I just give Kino the PIN number for my ATM card.

One way or another, they are bleeding my bank account dry.

I'm pretty much the opposite, I'm only interested in 80's and maybe a little 90's horror. I collect all sci-fi from the 60's and up.

Price is great as usual. To be honest and not to deter anyone I found the climatic underwater sequence to be very much padded out
For those familiar with MST3K, it was the equivalent of "Rock Climbing" in Lost Continent or "Sandstorm" from Hercules Against the Moon Men

sad but true....

I see that the preorders for enter the ninja and revenge of the ninja are up. But Amazon has them listed at full retail ($29.99). I don't think I've ever preordered any kino titles. Do most of them fall to around $20 before release?

Just about all.

Amazon's initial preorders for these things used to be about 21, but mostly all nf the titles end up being reduced to like 17.99/18.99, that ballpark. I've never paid more than 20, and I have about thirty titles.

Does anybody else wonder the current price level Kino has put their forthcoming releases? $ 29,95 is way too much for theim. That is Criterion price level and Kino's quality isn't that good.

War-Gods Of The Deep (UK title, The City Under The Sea)

It's cheap & cheerful, but a lot of fun. I saw it at the pictures way back in the sixties on a double bill with The Face Of Fu Manchu (great double bill). I saw it a couple of years ago on the telly & I thought it stood up quite well, Vincent Price is his usual great self. I won't buy it as I'm not region A, but if it gets a European release, I'm in.

That's always been their standard list price. What it actually sells for at retail is up to the retailers. Have patience, Amazon will lower their current selling price eventually.

Meanwhile over at HTF , on the Kino page, I just read that they will have MORE Price films coming up..

Although they've had a dearth of sales recently, Blowitoutahere is usually your best bet for boutique releases. I never pay more than $15.xx for any Kino discs.

Criterion is usually $39.95 or higher. Kino has the same SRP of $29.95 for Blu-rays loaded with extras and ones with just the trailer, but you can easily find them for around $16.

Vincent Price = auto buy. That is all .

Yes. Who here actually pays $40 or $30 for each respective company's BDs that lives in the States? Hardly anyone, that's who. MSRP means nothing unless you're buying it from a store like Barnes & Noble without a sale going on.

So far I have around 30 Kino classics and I never paid more than $14 for any of them.

I am just happy that Twilight Time isn't putting them out.

Where do you buy them? I have about 15 KLSC titles and I've paid anywhere from $12 to $20 including shipping, but mostly closer to $20.

Keep an eye out for coupons and/or sales at the above-mentioned Blowitoutahere, Deep Discount, DVD Planet, and B & N. And remember to use ebates for the cashback. In general, Amazon's prices for boutique releases are terrible.
