Does anyone know what aspect ratio Ghosthouse was filmed in?

The reason i ask is because the VIPCO dvd is 1:33:1 and it doesn't seem like a pan and scan job.

1:33:1 is the original ratio - I think it was made for TV.

Even today I cannot get rid of the negativity that still fosters in my soul for the rip off merchants that they were and hope that one day karma catches up with them.

I have to thank Vipco for introducing me to the full uncut versions of Fulci's City of the Living Dead and The Beyond. I'd only ever seen the censored Inter-Light and Vampix videos before Vipco released them to VHS & DVD. I also have to thank them for their fantastic release of Zombie Flesh Eaters back in the pre-cert days. This was a tape I'd rent out on a regular basis because I loved the film so much.
