I wish VIPCO had lasted into the HD, one can only imagine the picture quality of older VIPCO treats like Flesh Eating Mothers and Slime City.

And, unfortunately, with Vipco's release it's still the film they don't want you to see.

Could have been upgraded to 'normal dvd' pic quality......

One of my VIPCO dvd's has a booklet in boasting ' the greatest dvd collection ever'!

Maybe if they bothered to clean the things up i would have agreed with that satement.

It should be called 'Potentially the greatest DVD collection ever'.

Seriously though Vipco had one of the best catalogs ever just a shame they didn't care.

They also gave the fans what they wanted with the excellent original video artwork. Just a shame they also gave them the original video prints to go with it.

even some of their 90's vhs tapes are just unwatchable.

To true Loop's.
A few of the earlier 90's VHS only collection had dreadfull prints, some films had fade lines down the side of the film and were really noticable in dark scenes, liked they'd used a well worn big box rental as the master.

The worst though i've seen in print quality has to be the DVD version of The Dungeon, that VIPCO released, that was an aweful film in all departments.
The Bronx Warriors double disc set was imho one of their better releases PQ ways. .

I remember buying GRAVE OF THE VAMPIRE on VHS.After fast forwarding through about fifteen minutes of blank tape,ZOMBIE NOSH abruptly jumped on to my screen.After phoning them,they sent me a replacement tape...never even asked for the faulty one to be sent back.

Got the replacement,there was FEK ALL on it this time.third time phoning them,finally got a tape with the film on it.

Went to the optitions,optition said there's nowt wrong with your vision.I said 'I know,I buy VIPCO videos'.....'Okay,I know what you mean,STRONG pair of glasses with night vision coming up.'
