It's a mixed bag. I think it's great that people can see some long-lost movies, but these pd releases definitely hurt the chances of seeing quality DVDs (by that I mean good source materials, not old 16mm prints), particulary for "niche market" titles like these.

To second GaryT's post, I read that MGM has the materials for a nice GORGO DVD but they have no plans to make one because of the VCI disc.

I guess it boils down to "do you want it now, or do you want it good?".

Thanks to another bargain-basement variety DVD company I am now able to see quite a number of films for the first time in my life.

Rumour has it that Beverly Wilshire Filmworks is now defunct because they delved into material that was not in the public domain at the time they released it.

I don't know if this is true or not but anyway I was able to pick up the following Mexi-Horror titles:

Bloody Vampire, The
Bring Me the Vampire
Curse of the Crying Woman
Curse of the Doll People
Living Head, The
Man and the Monster, The
Phantom of the Red House
Samson in the Wax Museum
Samson vs. the Vampire Women

They cost me about $5 each and are pretty good copies of these old movies.

I found many of them here:

I'm keeping my tapes but I sure am glad for the advent of DVD, it seems to have opened the playing field for more little companies to spring up and to get product out.

P.S. I'm still looking for "The Vampire's Coffin" and "World of Vampires"
