I'll have to look for this to watch. From the synopsis I'd pick it up if released by a boutique label.

"Vampire Lovers" update from Twitter:

Cliff from @Scream_Factory
on the edited footage from the new Collector’s Edition of The Vampire Lovers:
“Our lab made the mistake.
There will be a replacement program, with details to follow.
Sorry for the problem.”

I placed an order for The Vampire Lovers from DiabolikDVD two days ago. I ordered it along with Trog, Lady in a Cage, and an Arrow Blu-ray, Shock.

Glad I’m not in a big hurry to get them.

I appreciate that Scream is fixing it, though.

Post #1 has been updated and might I say that for folks with even a minor interest in it, Dance Macbre really must be seen to be believed. It's not a very good movie but I have a hard time believing it will ever be repressed and it's certainly an unusual viewing experience worth checking out at least once for fans of Robert Englund.

Thoughts on Daughters of Satan? I was going to grab it a few months back but other titles took priority over that one.

I'd never heard of this one. I guess it depends on who owns it. 1950s AIP is divided among MGM, Arkoff, Susan Hart. Some are PD but don't think this one is otherwise it would be out there in form or another.

Another Scream Factory release, another recall. Zero QC at that place. My copy is arriving on Monday, I guess I'll wait until the new discs are pressed to watch.

Just watched No Way to Treat a Lady and I thought the transfer/encode were great! The movie is a hoot and a half. Yes, it's a bout a serial killer, but man it's so damn funny and entertaining. Everyone is on their A game with this film.

If you like good movies, check this one out.

The holidays during a pandemic. The audacity that they missed something...

In the home video business no one is allowed to take holidays!

Yeah and it's not on Susan Hart's list of properties, so there is hope...

I hope Scream Factory continues to release existing BD titles on UHD, at least the big horror titles.

Picked up Deadly Force since I’ve wanted to check that one out.

Watched that this year, quite a fun time. I'm a big fan of Wings Hauser though!

I’ve found him enjoyable in everything I’ve seen with him. Sometimes even when I think the movie is bad he’s the best part & made it worth sitting through.

Wings Hauser is great in everything. Best performance for sure is Bullets and Champagne. He was coked out or drunk for that entire film and it created one damn entertaining performance.

I’m a big fan of hers too. She’s also great in Good Neighbor Sam:

Minerva Bissell (Dorothy Provine): "Wait a minute. Of course! There's a very simple way to get Sam across to your house without being seen."

Sam Bissell (Jack Lemmon): "Well, what are you going to do? Shoot me out of a cannon, dear?"

Minerva Bissell (Dorothy Provine): "Don't be silly, dear. We don't even have a cannon."

My favorite movie of hers is Who's Minding The Mint?:

I would love a DVD release of The Roaring 20's TV series but the chances of Warner Archive releasing it are very slim:

Alligator is on my list of titles to watch and likely do the same thing with.

Thanks for the heads up. I will do the same for Alligator.

I just watched it on Prime to see if if was worth grabbing the blu, and I ended up ordering it. It's a bit of a slow burn, but I enjoyed it way more than I thought I would.

He was never on my radar but I somewhat recently watched The Wind and Mutant, and I enjoyed him in both of those. I actually grabbed Nightmare at Noon from Scream solely because he's in it.
