Hello all and welcome to my second blog.
I had first heard of the Vipco label when I was at college. I had seen the covers in HMV and what drew my attention to them the line of Skulls at the top of the case.
Looking back the covers were quite boring and the red X with the PREVIOUSLY BANNED also got my attention.
My first Vipco I bought was NIGHTKILL and even though I was 18 I got asked for ID which I had shown.
I was at first disappointed when I eventually got round to watching it because it was an old film but then I realised they were going to be old.
I had my eye on other titles by them, such as - THE BEYOND, CITY OF THE LIVING DEAD, SHOGUN ASSASSIN, HOUSE BY THE CEMETERY etc.
They were cheap enough so I bought the majority of them and basked in the gory glory.
Surprisingly I still haven't seen CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST and CANNIBAL FEROX which they had also released.
But sadly as space in my dvd cuboard grew less and less I got rid of most of them which I now reqret.
So the only VIPCO dvds I own now are SHOGUN ASSASSIN, CITY OF THE LIVING DEAD, ZOMBIE FLESH EATERS 2, 3, HOUSE BY THE CEMETERY, THE BEYOND, ZOMBIE DEAD, THE BURNING and ZOMBIE CREEPING FLESH.

- Interesting post!
I always liked the low rent scuzziness of Vipco titles in a way. It's nice to have pristine copies but somehow, ropey image quality and cheap menus feel more in keeping with the kind of films they release.
On a different note, If you want any tips on formatting your blog to make it stand out more or if you need tips on putting youtube clips, links or images, give me a shout.
