Worth seeking out their Blu-rays of Corruption, Big gundown and American Hippie in israel. All of them are excellent releases. I also have the swimmer on the way.

From Scorpion releasing:

"Due to the dismal BluRay sales (most selling 600 or less) of the titles that had been out before numerous times on DVD, and the fact that the DVDs of some of these BluRay titles sold much better (DEATHSHIP, TOMBOY to name a few) , Any titles falling into this category, I will only press 1,000 (1,200 on the more popular ones) BluRays and sell them as limited editions.
Now, since I don’t have an outlet to sell direct yet, these new Limited Edition Blu-Rays will be sold by Code Red on their website, as he seems to have found a much more successful mode for selling catalog BluRays than I have selling them through retail outfits. (now I can see why Twilight Time went with this business approach)
The first batch of BluRays that will be sold on Code Red's web site are:
GIRLY
MORTUARY
DON’T ANSWER THE PHONE
And the long awaited release of GRIZZLY (since DAY OF THE ANIMALS sold less than TOWER OF EVIL or THE UNSEEN, and both of those sold barely 1,000 units, which is why I think 1,000 - 1200 is the right number to press these titles, like GRIZZLY.)
Also, all future BluRay titles will now be put on hold (like SORORITY HOUSE MASSACRE and HAUNTING OF MORELLA), until each are carefully determined to see if they have a shot at making a profit through retail outlets (only two BluRays have for me so far) or will be a limited edition that will be available on my new web site that I am building. The future status of all BluRays I release will be evaluated and any decisions will be posted here.
Thank you for understanding."

Blimey. Surprised Day of the Animals sold so few

Kind of makes me despair for the future if there is so little interest in these titles.

Or perhaps its just the rotten economy and people cutting back on luxury items. Just hope people don't expect streaming sites to meet all their film needs in the future as that would be awful.

People seem to think blu-rays and dvds sell thousands of units, and while that's true for new films, catalogue titles can sell only in the 100's, 1000 - 3000 if it's a limited edition of a high profile or cult film. Sad but true.

It's a shame certain Labels are having such a struggle here in the Uk the BBFC makes life harder than it needs to be too.

Us true collectors rely on the sucess of labels Like Scorpion,I too am surprised Day of the Animals & Ghost ship failed so badly,they were both very big back in their day.

a Very concerning hint of the future for rare 70's & 80's Niche titles,labels & collectors.
