Thanks, Willie. It sounds like I can save my money, since you make it sound like the Code Red DVD isn't that much, if any, better than any other print floating around right now.

What's the time length on the Code Red title? I want to compare it to the other collection of films that had it.

Unfun Fact: The poster used in this thread is the alternate one Code Red used. The other one had whatever wrestling girl he uses as a host taking up a corner of the image, no guy, just Bigfoot in the background.

People were complaining about the cover art being dumb with the girl on it and saying how great it was that other companies provide a reversible cover so you could have the original artwork. Bill got mad and then changed it to this newer one but not as a reversible cover.

I'm really not surprised by Bill's response. I really don't know how the guy stays in business being as ornery as he is. I will check the run time when I get home tonight.

He's figured out that by holding back quantities, people will pay more than they're worth. On the flip side, I've also seen him say that rights holders have pulled back his distribution rights based on bad initial sales.

I'd think some of the more awful films that end up having poor sales, like Night of the Dribbler, could sell more if they'd pull a Mill Creek and do something like a 20 movie set for a reasonable price. I can somewhat imagine the movie set but not at a reasonable price.

Why did everyone who was getting killed or watching someone get killed sound like they were having sex. Just thought that was a little odd. The acting in this movie is atrocious but I guess that makes it more fun.

It is weird to be just starting the challenge have already seen 2 dicks get ripped off though...
I was thinking that too, but can't remember the other film.

Not sure if any of the other links are any better, but Amazon's source was very poor.
I agree, but given the overall quality of the acting and effects, dark might have been ok.

Yep, this is a perfect film for one of those 20 or 50 packs.

That reminds me, every year I plan to get through one of my horror 50 packs (or the equivalent in 4/6/10 packs), need to open one of those up before it's too late.
