I've been buying these things for nearly two decades now. Man, time flies.

The last one I watched was an oldie. Night of the Bloody Apes/Feast of Flesh. The first movie was a lot of ridiculous fun. The second was a barely feature length mystery that was very predictable and went by slooow.

Anyway, what ones do you folks have or are interested in?

I own a few:

Carnival of Blood / Curse of the Headless Horseman
Thirsty Dead / Swamp of the Ravens
Hitch Hike To Hell / Kidnapped Coed
Evil Come Evil Go / Terror at Orgy Castle / The Hand of Pleasure
Death Curse of Tartu / Sting of Death
Godmonster of Indian Flats
Blood Freak
Blood Suckers / Blood Thirst
The Zodiac Killer / The Sex Killer / Zero In and Scream

I love Blood Freak so much. One of my favorites I've seen from them. They only thing I really don't like is the dream reveal. Still, any movie featuring hippies plotting how to placate a killer turkey man is okay by me.

From what you have I also really want to se Godmonster of Indian Flats sometime. Hopefully, I can find it cheap enough sometime. Something Weird also has a Blu-ray that boasts a 4K transfer. I'm curious about that as I'm not sure if it is an actual 4K disc or just a regular Blu-ray with a better transfer than normal. It would be crazy to get an actual 4K from a company once known for selling bootleg VHS tapes with bad tracking.

I have   the MIGHTY GORGA and ONE MILLION AC/DC on dvd. I have NIGHT OF THE BLOODY APES, the GIRL AND THE GEEK, the WILD AND THE NAKED, and PSYCHED BY THE 4-D WITCH
on vhs by them though I bought in 1996!
I seem to have more Sinister Cinema tapes than Something Weird.

I love BLOOD FREAK and GODMONSTER too.

Haven't seen it, but the GODMONSTER Blu-ray is done by American Genre Film Archives and only licensed from Something Weird. AGFA really does restore old exploitation movies to the best version possible. They also reconstructed and restored Ed Wood's TAKE IT OUT IN TRADE, among others.

Any specific Sinister Cinema releases you'd recommend? I saw they had a $98 special and was interested in getting as many fun obscure movies as possible. As such I jumped right to their double feature section. I was disappointed to see that many of them contained at least one film that was public domain and appear on those budget release sets you always see like 50 Horror Classics. I don't really care if they are superior versions of these movies. I'd rather see something new and preferably something from the 60s, 70s, or 80s with some blood.

Cool stuff! I just checked it out on Amazon and it looks like it is a regular Blu-ray, but with just a really great transfer. I'd pick it up if it wasn't $20.

I'll have to keep an eye out for it on eBay to see if I can get a lower price. It still amazes me how crazy some DVD prices are. Last year one of the top selling horror Blu-rays on Amazon was Maximum Overdrive selling for nearly $40! I didn't want to see it when it was new!

the ASTOUNDING SHE MONSTER, MANIAC (1934), and WHITE ZOMBIE are my favs from Sinister. KILL,BABY KILL (1966) by Sinister is great-it's slightly washed out and has got all the clicks and pops of an old film reel, plus some cool trailers!
TNT JACKSON I highly endorse! Great Philipino blaxploitation junk with lotsa bad kung fu! Really washed out and jumpy- just like if I was at the old Strand!

I BURY THE LIVING
THE THIRTEENTH GUEST ...

...and if you don't know it and they've got it: CASTLE OF BLOOD (1964) aka DANZA MACABRE...  one of my all time favorites (with BARBARA STEELE).  It's up on YouTube so possibly in public domain.  I have that on DVD but I also have it on VHS and it might be Sinister Cinema...  

...aka CASTLE OF TERROR...

I just noticed there is still a bunch I don't have that are going for fairly cheap. Anyone have any recommendations? I'm looking to spend no more than $15 per purchase.
