Full Moon's Grindhouse Collection DVD Series

[dcj2112]

Anyone have any of these? Also, anyone know where I can find a full list of titles released in this series?

I'm kind of curious about it as I recently got some of the titles. The first one I watched was Necropolis. In the extras there are ads for the rest of the first wave in this series. They had at least one more wave as I've seen titles in this series that were not in that ad.

While the series has some pretty fun movies, it has some big drawbacks. The video quality on Necropolis was terrible and it doesn't look to be the only one. In the aforementioned ad, one of the films included was White Slave. The footage from it looks like it comes from a bad VHS copy. I have another DVD of White Slave put out by Shriek Show that looks much better. On Necropolis there was even a brief text apology about how crappy the video quality is.

I literally just bought another installment in the series, The Best of Sex and Violence. I'm a big fan of John Carradine so watching him host a collection of horror/exploitation clips in what can very loosely be defined as a movie sounds like pure ecstasy to me. I saw it selling on Amazon for $700+ a while back as I previously posted about on here. I paid about that with one small difference, this little symbol: "." Yes, I saw the exact same version of the movie on eBay and made an offer for a whopping $7.00. It was quickly accepted and now I eagerly await.

Anyway, thoughts on this series or any of the films it contains?

The Best of Sex and Violence. I'm a big fan of John Carradine so watching him host a collection of horror/exploitation clips in what can very loosely be defined as a movie sounds like pure ecstasy to me.

We had it in the video store where I worked in the 1980s. It's pretty sad because Carradine was very old when he made it and his hands were all twisted from arthritis. If I remeber correctly, he is seated through the whole thing and one (or more) of his sons make guest appearances.

I may have watched a Full Moon movie before.
I don't like them I'm sorry. I can't do it. 
BAD MOVIES! Bad! Go-! Git!

Full Moon was a staple of my video diet  in the 1990's!  Some of their films were awful, some were actually pretty good.
But one thing I will say: They delivered up Joe Bob Briggs'  "Three B's" in nearly every film!

The only thing I recall from Full Moon is the Puppet Master saga. I never finished my super review thread about those movies...

I'm more of a fan of Band's Empire International Pictures (1983-1989). Lots of classics, better production values and just more fun to watch in general. Full Moon's early years were ok but started to suck quickly.

Those Grindhouse discs sound awful though. Too bad about Necropolis. Used to be a rental fave together with Neon Maniacs.
