78. C.H.O.M.P.S. (1979)

what was it with the 70s and robot dogs?

only seen 24 of those... (and none of them listed after #92)

the only one I actually own on blu-ray is

26. Seven Blood-Stained Orchids (1972)

not sure if I have the Code Red release or not. I'll have a look later

so I checked and mine's on 88FILMS not Code Red

[claws]

so I checked and mine's on 88FILMS not Code Red

It had three international releases that I'm aware of, US, UK and Germany. I own the German disc.

I've seen 78 from the list and iwn 43 on physical media.

[zombie no.one]

oh I also have HANDS OF STEEL... 88FILMS release again

great film. helicopters, industrial espionage, and arm wrestling tournaments... the classic mix

guess Code Red is probably the region 1 distributor?

[Rev. Powell]

A lot of generic bad movies there.

I've definitely seen 7, seen 2 on MST3K, and I may have seen 4 or 5 more.

[M.10rda]

Impressed w/ these numbers! I've definitely seen 27 (which is pathetic), possibly more like 30+, as there are several I vaguely recall but may have only started and then dropped out of midway for some reason.

My highest (confirmed) numerical view: #195, TEENAGE TRAMP. 

And on that admission... okay, also the two D'Amato zombie films, EROTIC NIGHTS OF THE LIVING DEAD and PORNO HOLOCAUST. Both twice, I think. What have I done w/ my life?!

About some of the releases:

Screams of a Winter Night (1979)



A local production. Most involved had no background or very little experience in filmmaking. It had a brief theatrical run in the summer of 1979 and was released to VHS in the mid-80s. I've never seen this in our video rental stores back in the day though.

The film was believed to be "lost" for many decades. VHS rips have surfaced on youtube over the years. Screams of a Winter Night was restored for the blu-ray release, putting back a sequence that was cut by the director for pacing back then.

This one falls into the bad movie category, but has great and creepy atmosphere.
