Little random movie related stuff every month, like maybe a pin, a patch, a magnet, a vintage movie poster, or a pack of full moon trading cards, etc. People will get different pack ins each month from the Dark Force HQ random stuff collection .

It's just supposed to be a fun bonus item.

People were paying $10 on eBay for the magnets when those were available last year and pins are popular among some collectors

If you currently don't buy most or all of the DF/CR releases then picking up the select ones you want later is a good strategy.

If you think you would want most or all of the DF/CR releases the subscription is good for the low pricing, swag just a bonus .

Should be easy decision based on how many DF/CR titles you own.

The majority of the stuff Demon said he’s giving away on the livestream we’re junk, not magnets, like full moon trading cards and comics.

Heh, so trading cards and comics are junk but magnets are not junk? What makes one junk and the other not?

The extra swag is just a free bonus, the real incentive of becoming a member would be the exclusive titles and the discounted price which is an approx $200 saving if you were planning on buying all the titles anyway.

It's a very good price if it was VS, but DF/CR put in the bare minimum as far as effort goes(DF slipcovers aside). Their releases should have an msrp of $24.99 selling everywhere for $19.99. You also know the garbage drive-in releases are gonna be part of it.

All that is before you get into the shenanigans that DF contantly pull. I would be hesitant to do a 3 month sub. A year sub is a definite no.

Well magnets and enamel pins are a pretty consistent thing that gets offered that people collect. Full moon trading cards is random as ****, and therefore junk. Or we had these made vs I have this laying around my apartment.

Ironically the drive in releases are my favs out of what DF has released. Though Last Victim and Screams of a Winter Night were cool too.

Of course they were.

The guy that nitpicks everything about picture quality loves the ones that intentionally look bad. DF "we should do releases that completely go against the point of HD!"

And yes last victim and SOAWN where previous shenanigans releases. We should start the list so people know what they might be getting into. Great idea ruined!

Yeah Magnets made exclusively for releases aren’t junk. Someone throwing in their random comic and trading cards that they bought too much of is just throwing in junk.

It disturbs me that the video release of "The Farmer" is up to this Banana Man character. I tried watching the livestream, but it felt like I was watching "Grey Gardens."

gunnerg · 03-15-2020, 05:44 PM

I just realized "The Farmer" was written by the director of "Kiss Daddy Goodbye" starring Fabian & Marilyn Burns. I wish bananaman would release that title, too!

Make no mistake if Code Red and Dark Force weren't releasing The Farmer then we wouldn't be getting a physical media release at all! It's not like Sony is going to bother and Arrow or Criterion aren't going to do it.

I think I recall Vinegar Syndrome saying they would be happy to release it.

Perhaps, though Vinegar Syndrome didn't exist at the time Bill was able to acquire the rights to The Farmer.
