Re: Midnite Movies
I certainly hope soon! I am dying for Vampire Circus and Twins of Evil in Region One.

Re: Midnite Movies
I am surprised that this thread dropped without many checking in on this? It was a #1 topic for a long time - has the interest in the series waned?

Re: Midnite Movies
Yeah, what they said. My wall of single and double feature MGM MM's is a testament to my fandom of the series. It's like this series hit a death spiral it was unable to pull out of as soon as they announced it was going to start being a Best Buy exclusive. Nothing against BB or MGM, that's just when things seemed to get shaky and uncertain.

Re: Midnite Movies
Eric, it's not that the interest in the series has waned. It's just that when and if the Midnite Movie series starts up again, you can be certain a posting will pop up here as soon as possible. With all due respect, to ask if there's any news on the series is kind of redundant, if there IS news don't you think it would be posted here immediately. There's not much to respond to a post like this except posting wishlists for the MGM series or venting frustration at what has happened to the series.

Re: Midnite Movies
It would be nice if they put them in sets, like the Vincent Price-Edgar Alan Poe adaptations. Maybe in time for Halloween 2007. Probably not though, but it would be nice.

Re: Midnite Movies
I would like to see a box set of unreleased Vincent Price titles -- CONQUEROR WORM, MASTER OF THE WORLD, HOUSE OF 1000 DOLLS, DIARY OF A MADMAN, DR. GOLDFOOT AND THE GIRL BOMBS and HOUSE OF THE LONG SHADOWS.
How about a Karloff box set too: BLACK SABBATH, THE CRIMSON CULT and CAULDRON OF BLOOD.

Re: Midnite Movies
I think all of the current MM titles are technically OOP. Some may still be available for sale, but I don't think they're being made any more.
I would love to see the unreleased potential titles come out as future MM box sets instead of 4-6 titles coming out once every few months like they had in the past. A box of 6 titles for about $40, ala the the Val Lewton or Hammer sets, would be a great way to continue the line, I think.
I see threads like this one on just about every movie/DVD site I read; I wonder why the studio isn't listening.

Re: Midnite Movies
I read in a new Video Watchdog magazine how despite it not being anamorphic, MGM's version of COUNTESS DRACULA (paired with VAMPIRE LOVERS as a Midnite Movies df) looks better than the ones from other regions. That's why I want very badly for them to stuff like VAMPIRE CIRCUS, TWINS OF EVIL, CONQUEROR WORM, BLOOD ON SATAN'S CLAW and HANDS OF THE RIPPER. They will all most likely be better looking DVDs then their counterparts from other countries.

I was afraid of that. I ordered the Abominable Dr. Phibes/Phibes Rises Again DVD from Amazon, after I saw that the disc was no longer listed on the MGM site.
I received it the other day, and it looks great. What great movies those are. I enjoyed seeing the sequel again after not having seen it for a few years, even though it's not as good as the original, it's still a fun film.
