Then there's this beauty which shows that shills & rip-off artists do rub elbows, and that there was once another company run by him that died. You had problems with booklets in school? Should have paid attention during reading class. Seen some pretty crappy slipcovers & artwork. I don't think I've come across a booklet that has made me stupid after reading it. anyway.....https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_DeFalco

p.s. not the most mature looking individual.....I wonder why the store is never open, and why the label has more obstacles than the worst Code Red mess up......since the last company didn't last long, can we expect this label to last? I don't think so. But this all just my own, rational, calm opinion. Sharing what I found.

Can't wait for my $100 bundle that I ordered a week ago to actually ship. Tom, what order number are you up to? I'm excited to turn the lights off and stare lovingly at the glow in the dark slipcover. Maybe caress it a little.

Theres no way that birth year is correct, am I to believe the young man flexing in the morgue in 2005 was 43 years old? He was like 28 maybe just based on his appearance, anyone can edit Wikipedia right?

Nah, he had to be older than that. If he had been 28, he would have been 12 when he appeared in Heavy Metal Massacre in 1989?

Some troll put up a bogus Wikipedia Page that keeps changing every week. I've never used my full real name so it's easy to put up fake information.

Heavy Metal Massacre was not shot it 1989, it was shot in 1994. The movie never got released by a real distributor so we listed the year as 89 to capitalize on the 80's heavy metal craze.

Do you own the distro rights?

I see Bleeding Skull released a ltd ed VHS a while back.

You should release on DVD via Dark Force if you are able to.

Yes we allowed them to do a retro VHS release a few years ago. Tons of misinformation on Heavy Metal Massacre due to the fact it was never officially released. I don't even consider it a real movie. It was more like a student film that we tried to sell ourselves in the mid-nineties.

DVD sales dropped pretty hard. place it on Blu format will sell lot better.

If Heavy Metal Massacre got a DVD or blu-ray release I'd buy it.

Yeah I've seen bits of it and know it's a low-budget SOV but I like movies like that, even the bad ones.

Dont matter if dvd or Blu to me, I just suggested DVD because some people's expectations are higher on Blu and you can only make a 1" tape master look so good. I remember when Olive put some SOV movies on Blu ray some people complained that they felt it should have been kept on DVD since DVD format exceeded the master quality.

What? You can't just fake your copyright year.

How did you find so many amateur actors with 80s haircuts? Not a single person looks or dresses like someone from 1994 (source: I was 23 in 1994 and remember the time period well); pretty impressive for a movie with zero budget.

Also impressive is how, in all the street scenes, you managed to avoid filming any cars from the 1990s.

Also, one of the shooting locations, The Living Room (AKA The Big Bubble), closed in 1990. It was later opened with the same name at another location in 1995.

Here's a really nice retrospective about the owner and the many venues he's ran over the years.

Also note that the Dark Force store has been selling the following:

"ORIGINAL SEALED CASSETTES FROM 1990 OF BOBBI YOUNG'S (HEAVY METAL MASSACRE) BAND.

The guy (Tom?) who edited DeFalco's Wikipedia page changed the year of his involvement in the band from 1990 to 1994, LOL.
