• Video nasty availability

    From Simon T@1:229/2 to All on Friday, November 23, 2018 11:40:27

    A subject that seems to get mentioned less and less now we're well and
    truly in the digital age, but anyway.

    Just running through the list of once banned titles, it seems the only
    films out of the 72 that have not yet enjoyed any release of some sort
    onto disc are "Delirium" and "I Miss You Hugs and Kisses".

    I'm sure I read somewhere that MGM or Warner may have the rights to
    these 2, in which case you would have thought Arrow or Shout Factory
    would have tried to do something about them as they've leased far more
    obscure titles I'm sure.

    Of the others, that have been released but not too easy to get hold of,
    it seems "Forest of Fear" has only had a grey market release, which
    appears to be a VHS rip. "Night of the Demon" is currently out of print
    and the only release of the ORIGINAL version of "Revenge of the
    Bogeyman" (Boogeyman 2) appears to be on Austrian DVD, which looks like
    it was taken from a video master tape.

    Anyone else still still collect these old titles?

    Likewise.

    Had it not been for the hysteria and the infamous "DPP 39" list, most
    of these titles would have long since been forgotten.

    Apart from the Italian/Spanish ones, of course, which are all TERRIFIC.

    No. I own about 20 and regularly watch probably half of those. I enjoy
    reading about them more than actually watching them to be honest.

    as in purchase physical copies of the videos? - i'm sure they would cost
    a fortune yet be unwatchable.
