I got a couple more of these from Amazon. The Bummer/Johnny Firecloud Double feature and the Sharpshooter Triple Feature.

I only watched Bummer and Firecloud so far. The latter is pretty decent. Probably the most legitimately good thing David F. Friedman ever produced.

I’m in the process of moving and while getting some moving supplies from Amazon and to cope with the move I decided to treat myself to four more DVDs that should be coming soon.

I got...

Dracula The Dirty Old Man / Guess What Happened to Count Dracula
The Ghastly Ones / Seeds of Sin
Satanis: The Devil’s Mass / Sinthia/ The Devil’s Doll
Six Weird Noir B-Movies

All except the last one are currently under $10 on Amazon. Excited to see what weird stuff these things contain. With Satanis I will absolutely own more Kash Flagg than anyone ever needs to.

With October approaching I may dip into the Something Weird catalog again. Although I’ve watched a lot of the horror they’ve released on conventional DVDs. So much new to see unless I hunt for the super rare and hard to find ones or start picking up their DVD-Rs.

Although I still need to check out the Andy Milligan Double feature they have. I own it but just haven’t watched it yet.

Also, pardon the thread bump but I was curious if anyone knew how often Something Weird was still putting out new titles? It seems they’ve mostly released what they got. The exception is they still have new Blu-rays coming out. However those look more like AGFA releases that SWV just gave them the permission to use their materials for. I’m highly interested in those releases but too pricey at the moment for my liking.

SW's founder, Mike Vraney, died in 2014 and I doubt they will be putting out any more new DVDs.

Oh yes I knew all about that. But his wife is still running the company and the guy who directed Basket Case has always done a lot of work for them. For DVD (rather than DVD-r or the AGFA Blu-ray releases) I think you my be right. The newest DVD I can recall is that Weird-Noir release I posted about from 2012. It is very different from some other SWV DVDs. It is just six obscure film noirs spread across two discs. There aren’t any crazy extras like most other sets have and it doesn’t even include the SWV Classic DVD intro. Perhaps they were trying something new with the intention to make more then the DVD didn’t sell well, DVD sales in general went down, and Mike died so any future releases were abandoned.

For those who don’t know Amazon is currently selling some of the old rare Something Weird Image DVDs as manufactured on demand DVD-Rs. Since the picture quality was not that great on some of these anyway, they may be worth a look :)

I recently got The Wild Wild World of Jayne Mansfield / The Labyrinth of Sex and Alice in Acid Land / Smoke and Flesh for under $8 for each disc. The only thing that stinks is Alice in Acid Land is apparently edited (though the original DVD was too).

I received an e-mail from SW a month or two ago and they said they would also stop producing DVD-Rs by the end of this year. I think thry will continue to sell digital downloads, though.

The Child (1977)  It should have been a good creepy movie..but it wasn't.

Just saw that Kino has now teamed up with Something Weird to release double features on Blu-ray. Most obvious/popular titles, it looks like, though I'm surprised they'd slap their name on CHILD BRIDE.

Awesome stuff!

Coincidentally I just had two Something Weird titles arrive in the mail today! I got Karate: The Hand of Death and The Trial of Lee Harvey Oswald/The Other Side of Bonnie and Clyde. Both are a steal at under $10 on eBay! Amazon has them too but the ones selling on there usually end up being DVDRs where as these are regular DVDs.

Karate: The Hand of Death might not be a great movie but the bonus feature is 50 martial arts trailers!

I’ll probably wait a while before I dive into these. I just finished my 12 movie Andy Sidaris set and am surprised it didn’t melt my brain. I need some good stuff to cleanse my pallet.

I lucked out and won auctions for a total of SIX out of print Something Weird DVDs  Drink

Delivered today were...

Death Curse of Tartu / Sting of Death
The Thirsty Dead / Swamp of the Ravens
Indecent Desires / My Brother’s Wife

I got the others from a different seller so still have to wait for those to get delivered. But I’m probably more excited for those! Coming soon are:

The Mad Butcher
Axe
When Women Played Ding Dong / 50,000 B.C. (Before Clothing)

I’m always more a fan of the horror Something Weird stuff rather than the exploitation. So since I got a pretty good haul of horror stuff I hadn’t captured yet I’m quite excited  BounceGiggle

^I've seen DEATH CURSE OF TARTU on TCM of all places.  It's wonderfully BAD.

Haha reminds me of when American Movie Classics played Danger: Diabolik years ago. All I could think is, “It’s not American, it’s not a classic, and it’s barely a movie.”

the death curse of tartu DVD has amazing an commentary track. they shot the movie in the Florida swamps which are now billion dollar properties. the director told the actors water moccasins would leave them alone because they were afraid of people which isn't true at all. Sting of Death print is really nice


Is Axe the southern horror one? really good movie
