Seems like I have an awful lot of '50s sci-fi movies on DVD, but there's still a lot that needs to be released. Here's my short list of stuff I needs real bad (but not bad enough to buy overpriced boots). Some have legal problems, some the studio(s) seems disinterested in releasing and some are being held for ransom.
Which movies can't get to DVD fast enough for you?
Five
The 27th Day
Gog
The Magnetic Monster
Riders to the Stars
The Amazing Colossal Man
It Conquered The World
Invasion of the Saucer-Men
I Was A Teenage Werewolf
I Was A Teenage Frankenstein
Attack of the Crab Monsters
Not of this Earth
World Without End
The Colossus of New York
The Space Children
The Monster of Piedras Blancas
The Quartermass Xperiment
Quartermass II

I wonder if it would be worthwhile for anyone to get a boot copy and "remaster" it... sort of re-bootleg, but improve??
haha
Im in the process of doing this to my VHS tape of DISNEY'S SCARY TALES
I digitized the VHS and im going in and making the colrs sharper, unfading it a bit in sections, etc...
PLUTOS JUDGMENT DAY is just a goner any way you look at it.. haha.. what an awful transfer!

I remember hearing about the family of Arkoff? holding back?? Hi Bill! Susan Nicholson is the one holding out on those titles. Arkoff's stuff got released a couple of years ago. (Colossal Beast, The Spider, Day The World Ended, She Creature, etc.) May have to go with boots to get some of those titles? A few of those I have taped off of TCM and that's good enough for me, till there's an official DVD release. |

If the bootleg is from a good source (studio released VHS or LD), I don't mind getting those. I'd rather have someone burn me a DVD from their collection than pay 15 bucks for a DVD-R, though. Don't wanna get stuck with no 5th generation dupe from a teevee broadcast that's been "edited for time and to fit your screen"! |

My friends Dad worked on The Magnetic Monster -
I THINK-
He worked on a movie that they cut part of the beginning out of to add to another film..
So they either cut out a piece of MM to add to another, or they cut out a piece of his film to add to MM..
Ill ask him!

Thats right! And I did ask my friend.. His dad PRODUCED the MAGNETIC MONSTER - But he doesnt have a credit, because someone bought the film and switched out all the opening title sequences!! I asked if he has a good copy of the film also  |
