Not worth their while spending money to licence stuff like that. Tbh, unless a film has been a financial success at the cinema or on vhs/dvd, every title companies like Shameless and Arrow release, are a risk. It's the sad truth unfortunately. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if they don't make a profit on stuff like Spider Baby or Pit Stop.

I think, we as cult film fans, sometimes become too blinkered in our own little worlds of cultdom and presume that because all around us there is talk of cult titles and releases, that the world at large is also interested in the things we like and will buy it up by the bucket load.
