I've been acting as a consultant with DVD UK Ltd. on this year's
Arkoff Vault DVD (region 2) releases. Those of you who love the
Midnight Movies DVDs (as I do) should enjoy these, too, and by now,
everybody should have an all-region player, right?
Last year's release of such titles as THE SHE CREATURE, HOW TO MAKE
A MONSTER, WAR OF THE COLOSSAL BEAST, THE DAY THE WORLD ENDED,
(EARTH VS.) THE SPIDER, BLOOD OF DRACULA, and others was met with
great acclaim. In 2004, they are releasing 15 more titles, in three
batches of five each. As with last year's releases, there will be
bonus trailers and probably replicas of each film's original poster.
Sadly, there weren't any true "monster" titles available to choose
from, but most of us AIP fanatics will be more than pleased with
what's planned.
Okay, batch one:
MACHINE GUN KELLY
SHAKE, RATTLE, AND ROCK
VIKING WOMEN AND THE SEA SERPENT
THE FEMALE JUNGLE
ROCK ALL NIGHT
Batch Two:
THE BONNIE PARKER STORY
