Here's what I ordered:

THE RIPPER BLOOD PACK $6.00

CHILDREN SHOULDN'T PLAY WITH DEAD THINGS $3.00
GORGO $3.00
BLOODY BIRTHDAY $2.40
GETTING IT ON $2.40
ROCKIN' ROAD TRIP $3.00

Wish that Scream Theater 12 pack was out already, would have definitely jumped on it for $6. Even at $15, it should be worth picking up though.

VCI is a wonderful label and I was thrilled to give them the $ I would usually spend at DD this time of year. Between me and my roommate I am sure we spent around $150.. at a 60% off sale that's quite a bundle of love ! I hope this sale gives the company a good mini-flush of money to reinvest! How about a proper Blood and Black Lace? The whole world needs a better copy of that film. I should think they would have no problems moving them.

Not being particularly impressed (though happy) with my Amazon deals this year, I actually consider this VCI deal the best part of my black Friday haul.

Jaymole

Has anybody gotten a ship notice or an e-mail confirmation?

I've gotten neither...I have a feeling my order never went through.

GoldenWheels

I haven't but our card was finally charged (or showed the charge anyway) last night, from an order done on the 24th. I think they're just SLOOOOOOWWWWWWW....my order still says "pending" on their website.

Jaymole

Thanks...I have a couple of items that I bought as gifts, so I am keeping my fingers crossed.

I like the idea of supporting a small company too, I just wish they had made the sale longer or perhaps on days other than BF-CM since a lot of people were probably watching the big internet sites more for sales.

The sale is now over, correct? This thread and a number of others heralding BF and/or CM sales needs to have (DEAD) on their OP so people will know the sales are no longer ongoing.

My order from 11/29 is still pending - has anyone's shipped?

statcat

no still pending as well

Greg MacGuffin

Got my copy of Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things yesterday.

Don't forget their 12 Days Of Christmas sale, which may yield some good deals:

Just to allay some fears that some of you may be having (as I was), my order arrived today, even though the web site still says that my order is processing. Here's what I got:

DAYS OF THRILLS AND LAUGHTER
SUPERSONIC MAN/WAR OF THE ROBOTS
HORRORS OF THE BLACK MUSEUM/THE HEADLESS GHOST
QUACKSER FORTUNE HAS A COUSIN IN THE BRONX
BLOOD AND BLACK LACE SPECIAL COLLECTOR'S EDITION
CHILDREN SHOULDN'T PLAY WITH DEAD THINGS EXHUMED EDITION

All that shipped for $26.86. I'm very pleased.

ktg

Dang, sorry I missed that one---it's up to $17 now.

OT, but Kansas City Confidential is only $3.98 at Amazon right now.

GoldenWheels

Received my stuff today--can't wait to check some of these out. Dark Night of the Scarecrow especially.

JoeStSteven

got mine today as well. 20 DVDs and only two floating around inside their cases. Shame they use such low quality DVD cases these days. Still, nice stuff.

ProfessorEcho

Great deal today only on HONEY WEST: $14.99 for the Complete (one season) Series.

Very stylish and entertaining show from the late 60's that along with Diana Rigg on THE AVENGERS set the standard for a female James Bond, no doubt inspiring many a young girl back then who dreamed of more things than playing "Mystery Date."

newginafets

I was expecting this cover


but received this one instead


but the second one is OOP right?

and received Blood and Black Lace

^ I know the older Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things: Exhumed Edition DVD (second one pictured) had the initial pressing recalled because it had several minutes of the movie edited out. I don't know the exact details of what was missing, but hopefully you received a corrected copy since it came directly from VCI.

UPDATE: Did a little research and the corrected copies should say "Revision A" somewhere on the disc and on the back artwork. The correct running time is 1:26:35.

GoldenWheels

I received this version as well.

GoldenWheels

Thanks for the info; was just digging around myself. Mine does say "Revision A" on the lower right near the 'Dolby' logo, and runs at just about that time--1:26:32 according to the player.

Lastdaysofrain

Got my discs yesterday, great stuff. I got that same version of Children.. as well.

BuddhaWake

got my discs today minus one due to being backordered. anyone ever deal with backorders from VCI? I was charged the full amount (is only a $4 dvd anyway). just wondering.
