His New World Pictures was the US distributor, so that's the connection.

I own it.  The people writing the reviews are not taking into account that this is 1981 science fiction film, made by a man who is known for working with shoestring budgets.  It's not a restored version, but a high quality transfer from the best material available.  I first saw the film during the 80's on VHS - and I've also seen a VHS made from the Japanese LD.  The DVD is the highest quality version of "Galaxy of Terror" that I've ever seen.

From the first Roger Corman DVD/Blu-ray thread:

Quote
(Undated) – Attack of the Crab Monsters (1957) / Not of This Earth (1957) Double Feature DVD

This one was scheduled for this summer but they've now put it off indefinitely. Reportedly they can't find a good quality master for NOT OF THIS EARTH.

This is the most recent news (about 2-3 weeks old):

"Attack of the Crab Monsters," "Not of this Earth" (1957), and "War of the Satellites" are due out from Shout! Factory in "early 2011."

I hope Galaxy of Terror is good quality. I found it on a torrent a year ago and the quality is fantastic. I would hate to think my copy is better than what is coming in the mail.

It's the best I've ever seen the film, including having seen a transfer from the Japanese LD.  Here's another thread with us talking about the releases:

I remember seeing it on TV about a million years ago. It's really hilarious how the goofy-looking giant crabs can eat people and then talk in their voice, so they can lure in even more more munchies.

I can't wait!  :thumbup:
