Only thing, I thought the 2 disc was the raised cover on Dead Pit, is that only the 1 disc, or just the first pressing or something?

He sent you some bottles of wine too? sweet haha

Cool , thanks for the reply man.

Re: Code Red Secret Sale YMMV

What are some of the better double features on the EXPLOITATION CINEMA line? Even more to the point, what are the CODE RED must haves?

Re: Code Red Secret Sale YMMV

You into horror, boobs, sci-fi?

Re: Code Red Secret Sale YMMV

All of the above, of course!

Qualifiers: Not real fond of 70's-80's teen sex comedies where everyone drives a van. Don't like bad laser effect 80's outer space stories. Not big on ultra low budget attempts at slasher stuff or second and third and fourth to the last house on the left copies.

Everything else goes! ;)

Re: Code Red Secret Sale YMMV

got my order today as well. definitely would/will order like that again.

Based only on the titles I have seen thus far: Soul Survivor & Stanley (Stanley is in several Mill Creek sets so check before you buy). Lots of others look great though.

Soul Survivor is good.
Messiah of Evil is public domain but Code Red has a solid print.
I haven't seen it yet but Carriers has good reviews.
Night Child is OOP but well reviewed if you can tolerate the tasteless "septic cinema" (spilled port o potty) menu.
Getting more lukewarm with Dead Pit which is slow 80s cheese too psychological for my taste. Beyond the Door is a trashy exorcist riff. Don't Go Into the Woods Alone is surrealist nonsense if you can appreciate that sort of thing.

My Best Buy "exclusive" Dead Pit that I got om early release is as pictured, I'm pretty sure Code Red only does one pressing (although Beyond the Door had a limited edition slip). You are probably aware the VHS copy famously had a raised cover with light up eyes.

It's why I bought the DVD, I remember looking at and touching that VHS case at the video store, every time I went in.

Was there no raised DVD? Perhaps I was just projecting.

I'm pretty sure the DVD was always flat.

Edit: Mister Peepers below is likely right, no slip on bb exclusive 2 disc but one on single disc. This was how Beyond the Door was (and BtD had a cool slip).

I'm 99% sure the slip comes on all single disc but the double for sure doesn't have one. The slipcover is under the shrink wrap.
