More MGM Midnite Movies in March! (1 Viewer)

[Damin J Toell]

MGM has shown a willingness to release PD titles when it fits in with other titles in their library (e.g., Roger Corman's Bucket of Blood).

I had forgot about that title. INVASION OF THE BEE GIRLS is another one I forgot about, although the MGM disc is cut while the PD is uncut but open matte.

 

[Drew Reiber]

Which films?

 

[Stacey]

I would kill for a double feature of Witchfinder General and Master of the World!

Great news on Last Man On Earth tho!

 

[Michael Elliott]

I'll try to find a complete list but off the top of my head:

BLOOD OF DRACULA
THE WEREWOLF
I WAS A TEENAGE WEREWOLF
I WAS A TEENAGE FRANKENSTEIN
HOW TO MAKE A MONSTER

They might also own other Arkoff films, which were released overseas. This collection started a couple years ago but have yet to hit R1. Other titles in this include: COOL AND THE CRAZY, UNDEAD, IT CONQUERED THE WORLD, DAY THE WORLD ENDED and others.

They also own around ten Hammer films but I can't remember which ones. Joe could probably fill in some of the titles.

--Columbia did distribute several highly-desirable AIP flicks from the 1950s on VHS tape (INVASION OF THE SAUCERMEN, AMAZING COLOSSAL MAN, I WAS A TEENAGE WEREWOLF, etc) in the early 1990s, but I believe their licenses to those expired quite awhile back.

[Bill McA]

Chosen Survivors is not a made-for-tv movie.

 

[Peter M Fitzgerald]

Oops, my bad. I forgot WHEN A STRANGER CALLS already got a release (the late 1970s/early 1980s phone-related slasher flicks blur together in my mind). Sorry Rex.

True, Bill McA. I was using IMDB to help me be fairly complete with the genre stuff I haven't seen yet, saw Sutton Roley credited as co-director, and thought: TV movie. Figured the movie poster shown on the CHOSEN SURVIVORS entry was from a foreign theatrical showing, as was done with true TV movies like DUEL (1971) and SPECTRE (1977). Of course, Benny Hill has taught us that when you assume...

Last Man on Earth in 2.35:1 anamorphic WS!
JOY!

 

[David Von Pein]

Did anyone buy THIS DISC released by Image Ent. before it went OOP? I notice it has the exact same two titles as the upcoming "Midnite Movies Double Feature" ("Panic" & "Last Man").

 

[Steve Phillips]

That's the old Laserdisc double feature. It came out in the last days of the format, and quickly became a collector's item.

 

[Claude North]

What cuts were made to the MGM version?

 

[Steve Phillips]

A sex scene is shortened. The scene is intact on the old Embassy VHS.

The co-feature on the DVD, INVASION OF THE STAR CREATURES, is also an edited version. The TV prints feature at least 6 minutes more footage, but I am unsure if the extra scenes were part of the theatrical release or added later for TV.

 

[Michael Elliott]

You can get the uncut INVASION OF THE BEE GIRLS on various PD labels. It's on a Brentwood 4-movie set but it's under a different title, which I can't remember right now.. It was also released as part of a double feature by Catcom.

I'm still waiting for The Town That Dreaded Sundown to come out on Dvd :frowning:
