I got it as part of my Black friday order but not got round to watching it yet. Looks like a good release & probably worth a gamble especially with the option of watching thie full uninterupted program in the "All Nite Slumber Party" mode.

I wrote up some thoughts on them here:
The Naked Witch
Violated
Ghosts of Hanley House
Passion in the Sun

The Naked Witch is hilariously pulled in two directions because of behind-the-scenes shenanigans. Violated is more of a serial killer meets noir story that works as a precursor to 1980's Maniac. Cheaply and less efficiently, of course. Ghosts of Hanley House is a confusing mess with charm while Passion in the Sun is a nudie-cutie edited with the attention span of a cocker spaniel at a dog park. They're DIY affairs with the skills to match their budgets. If you enjoy those types of endeavors, you're in for a hollering good time.

So it looks like we’re getting the Assault on Precinct 13 4K from AGFA?

Bummer. I dig their discs.

They definitely confirmed that & also mentioned that hopefully Scream Factory release a UHD of it in the future.

via High Def Digest. Curious if their upcoming UHD is the previously teased Effects or something else:

...longtime labels like the non-profit AGFA celebrating major milestones like their fiftieth disc release and also their first 4K UHD release.

Our home video label wouldn't be what it is today without OCN," said Joe Ziemba, AGFA Creative Director. "They made our releases more accessible to the public and encouraged us to hit the ground running. And that's how physical media become an essential component for fulfilling our non-profit mission—we couldn't have done it without them."

GLOW: THE STORY OF THE GORGEOUS LADIES OF WRESTLING is the true story of what happened behind the scenes of one of the most outrageous television shows in history. From 1986-92, the airwaves were ruled by GLOW—a neon and glitter-soaked reimagining of the World Wrestling Federation with an all-female cast . . . only with more skits, chainsaws, and personalized rap songs. This documentary, which inspired the hit Netflix series GLOW, chronicles the rise and fall of the iconic show through the stories of those who lived it. Produced DIY-style by filmmakers Brett Whitcomb and Bradford Thomason (THE ROCK-AFIRE EXPLOSION), GLOW: THE STORY OF THE GORGEOUS LADIES OF WRESTLING pays tribute to the incredible women who made it all possible.

AGFA is thrilled to bring GLOW to Blu-ray for the first time, complete with enough extras to fuel three-thousand suplexes.

Apologies if this has already been discussed, but does anyone know what title 44 is/was? I noticed the numbering jumped from 43 to 45 between FTD and Shock-O-Rama.

[JasonMichael]

Nothing has been released under the AGFA-044 number as yet.

Maybe ask them on Twitter or ask in the Something Weird Video Facebook group.

[Mr. Thomsen]

I seem to recall reading somewhere that some of the earliest SW/ AGFA releases, back from when they were distributed by MVD and before they partnered with VS, would eventually be re-released. Does anybody know more about this?

I am just wondering what the chances are for a re-release of The Violent Years?

Everything except for Satanis is supposed to be released. Although I've heard rumblings about Film Detective readying up an Ed Wood set, nothing has been said about The Violent Years not being re-released by AGFA.

I fear that the recent death of Wade Williams may remove most of the Ed Wood titles from consideration (WW's film elements, if not the actual rights).

[JasonMichael]

I don't believe AGFA used Wade Williams' elements for their release.

[Damonstein]

Yeah I don't think he owned that one. Wood only wrote it anyway. As far as I know, Wade owns plan 9, glen or glenda, jail bait, bride of the monster, and night of the ghouls.

Wade might have owned SINISTER URGE as well.

I just want this to be real....
