I've bought from them since before dvd. They've always specialized in older porn type stuff but used to have a huge catalog of horror/sci-fi. I still have dozens of tapes of sword and sandal and eurospy thrillers. Image manufactures and distributes the dvds.

The Eliminator

Everyone should own 2000 Maniacs and especially Blood Feast. Should be a law or something!

Matthew Ackerly

Just ordered, "Axe" and "The Child". Looking foward to my first something weird purchase.

Right now I've only got Basket Case and Wham, Bam Thank You Spaceman, which a friend gave me. There are quite a few more I wouldn't mind having, most notably the H.G. Lewis flicks and few others. Luckily I've got a friend who pretty much owns all of them (around 175) so I know who to ask for the good stuff.

A little off-topic, but could someone tell me if my DVDSpot collection shows up when my link is clicked on. I suck at this sort of thing and it only shows the DVDSpot front page when I click on it. If not, could someone tell me what to type to get it to show my collection; it uses the screen name I use here. I would appreciate it greatly; I tried to follow the directions I found at this site but, oh well.

TomOpus

Yeah, it's just the main page. I don't use DVDSpot so I don't know what to tell you except to check someone else's link and use the same format except substitute your account name for theirs.

Cronenbergfan71

Thanks, TomOpus. I was making this more difficult than it actually was, as usual.

Keeping things somewhat on topic, there are a few other Something Weird titles I have some interest in and will probably pick up.

TomOpus

Being a Cronenberg fan, you were probably looking at it from a skewed viewpoint

Anywho, I think the only new SW video I've picked up since my first post was Blood Feast. I'd always meant to get it but I finally got my rear in gear when Connie Mason was supposed to be at Comic-Con last year. Sadly, she canceled. Maybe this year....

Mod-Mod-World

I agree with a previous poster: Get the Extra Weird Sampler, it's wonderful!

Here's what I have:
Alice in Acidland / Smoke and Flesh
The Hooked Generation / The Psychedelic Priest
Blood Feast
The Gore-Gore Girls
The Gruesome Twosome
She Devils On Wheels
Something Weird
Two Thousand Maniacs
Teenage Gang Debs / Teen-Age Strangler
Mondo Mod / The Hippie Revolt
Monster a Go-Go / Psyched by the 4-D Witch
The Weird World Of LSD

I've got a few, but only recommend the Doris Wishman boxset, only for the two Chesty Morgan films, those are must sees. The Herschell Gordon Lewis Collection (got it at Best Buy for $30) is a good buy, there's also the blood trilogy, which contains Blood Feast, 2000 Maniacs, and Color Me Blood Red. I only have Blood Feast, but the other two are good too, if you are into his films.

There have been a couple of threads over at the dvdmaniacs.net forums of recommended SWV titles, and dvdverdict has a pretty extensive set of reviews of their catalog.

I'm pretty much in the same boat as Quatermass. Luckily (?) their recent releases over the last year haven't been that tempting, but they do have some Dave Friedman titles coming up - any of their discs with a Friedman commentary with worth picking up.

I have Monsters Crash the Pajama Party. AVOID this! Stopped me from being interested in any other of their titles. DVD menu didn't even have words, but you had to hunt for highlighted spots on the main screen - an owl, the moon, a gravestone, etc. Never knew if what I was watching was supposed to be a main feature or bonus extra. And whatever I was watching, it was BORING!! I couldn't last more than 5 mins on any feature, and I can usually be a pretty patient viewer.

riotinmyskull

so i know this is an old thread but i guess this is the best place to ask it. i see that the blood trilogy is all 1.33. is this the proper OAR? imdb is stating that they're all 1.85 but i know that half the time they're wrong so could someone please clear this up for me. i'd like to purchase this set but not if it's the wrong aspect ratio.

Heartagram

only Basket Case for me, which I enjoy thoroughly, probably gonna have to get that trailer disc, not for just discovering new releases, but im sure it would be great to watch without any other purpose than a few laughs.

Hu Phan

I wish I had more.

I do have the Herschell Gordon Lewis boxset, a couple of Andy Milligans (Seeds of Sin / The Ghastly Ones and The Body Beneath), the Extra Weird Sampler disc and the one with the jellyfish monster represented by a guy with a plastic bag over his head - Sting of Death?

At some point I must buy a copy of Street of a Thousand Pleasures. The trailer alone makes it look like a perverse masterpiece.

It's one of my mileage busters:

i had read that Something weird had lost its distribution through Image and would be producing all of its new titles on dvd-r through their website and catalog.

not sure if any of the old titles will go OOP or not though

riotinmyskull

can anyone answer my question? (ie. the reason this thread was bumped to begin with):

Mondo Kane

^Well, with the exception of Johnny Firecloud (Which is in 2:35) every other title I've seen in SWV is 1.33. (You sure get used to it after a while)

Have no idea what the original ratio of that particular movie was.

nothingfails

I have Scare Their Pants Off/Satan's Bed because I am a fan of Yoko Ono's and was curious to see her pre-Lennon "movie"

riotinmyskull

nevermind i found my answer about the blood trilogy OAR. this is from an interview dvd savant did with h.g. lewis:

Q: The DVD culture includes a lot of film purists. They're all interested in widescreen and that sort of thing. What were the original ratios of your films?

A: They were all 1.85:1. They always were.

sorry something weird. no sale.

The Man with the Golden Doujinshi

Eh, these are more of fun films to watch than worrying over audio/video qualities.

Plus they usually put tons of bonus features with the movies. You can't even compare the amount they put on with the stuff the major studios usually put on their DVDs.

djskyler

I have only:

JUST FOR THE HELL OF IT / BLAST OFF GIRLS
(I wanted it mainly for the Colonel Sanders cameo in BOG, which is great)
KISS ME QUICK / HOUSE ON BARE MOUNTAIN
(as a classic horror fan, the concept of the Frankenstein monster in a nudie film blew my mind)
MONSTERS CRASH THE PAJAMA PARTY
(one of my all-time favorite DVDs, an atmospheric journey through the Spook Show phenomenon)
WONDERFUL LAND OF OZ / JACK & THE BEANSTALK
(two weird and super-low budget movies from a nudie director who wanted to cash in on the kiddie matinee market of the 60s/70s)

I also acquired all six volumes of HEY FOLKS IT'S INTERMISSION TIME on VHS a while ago, so I'll have to upgrade to their DVD-R editions someday.

zombeaner

I only have Basket Case and the Blood Trilogy. Though I have been eyeballing a lot of their awesome sexploitation titles.
