Rawhead Rex
The Kindred
Sundown: Vampire In Retreat
Eyes of Fire
Lair Of the White Worm
Gothic
Radioactive Dreams
Rocktober Blood
Hard Rock Zombies

Fingers crossed for Rawhead Rex, Sundown, Gothic and Lair of the White Worm. Rex is one I saw part of as a kid and have never seen it since and the DVD is insanely expensive.

Not familiar with the others, but hopefully they all get released if this line is a success.

Any idea on what the price will be on these? Amazon has them listed for $39.99 which is crazy high, hopefully around $20 to $25 tops.

Will definitely be picking these up. Hopefully Eyes of Fire is part of the next batch. I always loved the art for that movie.

This is a dream come true. Will buy both in hopes of seeing more from the line in the future. Gonna have to dig up my old copy of HorrorHound magazine since they did an article on Vestron and all the titles they released. Pretty sure I saw at least a dozen titles I would kill for. On the other hand, I hope LG doesn't leave behind titles from other production companies, like Superstition and Near Dark. Really stoked for these!

I don't think that will stop them. I'm guessing pretty much any horror catalog title Lionsgate has could be part of this line.

BarnDoor · 08-01-2016, 07:21 PM

Yeah at this point I'm wondering how literally they'll take the Vestron thing (as in, must all the titles planned have had a VHS release by Vestron or a subsidiary). I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Do Lionsgate still have a deal with StudioCanal? I wonder if they could do anything with their titles?

I decided to do a Vestron search and here's a fun little link I found:

I think my most wanted would be:
Death Weekend
The Kindred
Too scared to scream
Rocktober Blood (highly unlikely)
Rawhead Rex
Waxwork
Takin' it off
CHUD II
Scream and die

bsend · 08-01-2016, 07:25 PM

Is there a list of all of Lionsgate catalog titles owned?

JoelGoodsen · 08-01-2016, 07:33 PM

WOW!!

This really is like a dream come true. These releases look amazing. I am all over them.

Hopefully they sell well so we can see plenty more.

slasherdisc · 08-01-2016, 07:34 PM

These are awesome!! Finally LG! FINALLY!

I would love to see The Wraith get a U.S BD release with that classic theatrical artwork.

Eman910 · 08-01-2016, 07:35 PM

I'm definitely in for these!

thompsonjohn · 08-01-2016, 07:48 PM

Lionsgate put out a 2-disc "Horror Collection" 8 Movie Pack which was basically 8 Vestron titles, I still have it, doesn't have "Blood Diner", but it does have "CHUD II", "Waxwork", "Chopping Mall", "Slaughter High" and "Ghoulies III."

By the way, can't find the Amazon pre-orders anywhere for these two blu-rays.

Preorder on Best Buy is $27.99

Beast · 08-01-2016, 08:11 PM

Man I am excited for this line. Pre-ordered both titles at Best Buy as I love Chopping Mall. Never seen Blood Diner though, but the trailer looks interesting. Really hoping for Rawhead Rex and Waxworks (I & II) next. I wish Repossessed was Vestron, I'd throw a lot of cash at Lionsgate for a SE Blu-ray of that.

Many of these have already come out on Blu-ray via other labels (Code Red, Scorpion, Shout, Kino, Arrow, etc.), so at least the catalog wasn't entirely neglected.

Vestron! The mark of VHS quality when I rented vhs tapes in the 80's and early 90's!
