Incredible Two-Headed Transplant would make a great double feature with The Thing with Two Heads(should they re-release it).

It seems they missed some opportunites with these, they could have put the two Yorga flicks together.

RETURN OF COUNT YORGA is also very high on my list. How about ANGEL ANGEL DOWN WE GO (AKA CULT OF THE DAMNED)?

All the Quartermass films are out, and none are worthy to be on a midnight line, they are too good for that.

How about IT COUNQUORED THE WORLD? Early Corman film.

The Quatermass Xperiment is only on VHS through the Midnite Movies series, not DVD yet. IT CONQURED THE WORLD is not owned by MGM but the Susan Hart estate.

Susan Hart is the widow of AIP co-founder James Nicholson, and now holds rights to some of the early aip films. She also starred in films like GHOST IN THE INVISIBLE BIKINI.

Yeah, I think she has a hold of a lot of the early AIP films, including I WAS A TEENAGE WEREWOLF and I WAS A TEENAGE FRANKENSTEIN.

In regards to Mario Bava and the fact that I have not seen it, how is Bava's "Planet of the Vampires" and who owns the video rights to it?

War of the Colossal Beast is owned by the Arkoff estate while Amazing Colossal Man is controlled by Susan Hart. Go figure!

PLANET OF THE VAMPIRES is very much available on MGM's Midnite Movies series as a single disc. It's a non-anamorphic letterboxed transfer that looks terrific.

House of Long Shadows
Madhouse
Diary of a Madman
Master of the World
House of 1,000 Dolls
Dr. Goldfoot and the Girl Bombs
Conqueror Worm

Vincent Price is my favorite actor. I believe these are the only remaining films owned by MGM that haven't been released R1.

Just thinking about MGM and Midnite Movies reminded me of "Private Parts" (1972). I think this would qualify as an MM (although it's been decades since I've seen it). It seems to be readily available on VHS but I'd like to see this one on DVD.

Too late for a director's commentary tho (unless someone with incredible foresight recorded one before Paul Bartel passed away in 2000).

FOOD OF THE GODS and FOOD OF THE GODS II would make a nice double feature disc. I don't know if MGM owns #2 though.

Agreed. Don't forget "Maryjane"! "Food of the Gods" would be cool as well.

Although not a midnight movie, "The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane" is an excellent AIP title I would love to see released.

This is one of my all-time cult favorites. I have the VHS. A DVD release would be wonderful. "Aunt Martha" is downright creepy...taking photos at funerals

PRIVATE PARTS (1972) is an MGM title now owned by Warner Brothers, so you'll have to look towards them to release it. It would have made a perfect "Midnite Movie," but they just don't own it.

I wonder what the odds are of Warner releasing this twisted little gem?
