How is their shipping $6.99? They use bubble mailers and ship media mail.

They should’ve paired the two Katt Shea films together and but Dance with Death alongside Final Judgment.

Are either (or both) of these any good? Never seen or heard of them...

I've not seen them, but the first one, Dance with Death, based on what little I've read, seems like it's almost an unofficial remake or ripoff of Stripped to Kill. And it's got Martin Mull playing a fun and sleazy character, a pre-Friends dark-haired and chubby Lisa Kudrow, and the peerless Maria Ford playing a stripper. That last one should be reason enough by itself. The second feature, Dance of the Damned, sounds like a talkie and sad vampire film that starts off in a seedy strip club. Supposedly pretty decent, but evidently Corman remade the film a few years later as To Sleep With a Vampire and folks seem to like that one better. However, at a minimum, these are low-budget late-night cable type of films so you know what you're getting and that simple fact should help rule these in or out. But if you buy the disc and don't like them, since it's one of Shout's limited edition releases, you should be able to get most or all of what you paid back if you choose to sell it off later.

Now if they can just give us Corman's 1994 epic Angel of Destruction!

Kind of what I figured. I'm all for these early-90s late-cable/DTV sleaze-fests and really enjoyed the Stripped to Kill / Final Judgment double feature, so... ORDERED!

Excellent! I have very high hopes for them. Since I had the Scorpion release of Stripped to Kill, I'd been dragging my feet on getting the Shout double feature, but I picked it up when I placed my order for Dance/Dance just for Final Judgement. Sounds like you liked that one, but again, with that concept, how could you go wrong?

FINALLY.

Dance of the Damned!

Excellent film. I pre-ordered so fast, I think I have whiplash.

There's always a lot of grousing from folks who hate these double-features for some reason, but I love them. I hope they sell well enough for Shout to eventually work through at least the majority of Corman's catalog (PleasepleasepleasePUH-LEEEESE release Not of This Earth - original and remake!)
