Ahhh the days when an artist was put to work for a film's video release....if only everyone was like Shameless.....:)

Another of Almar's faves here.....;)

Scanned in some more of my video covers.

Heres a few more

This is the reverse cover for Pumpkinhead (Vengeance the Demon)

I was going to post a similar comment but you beat me to it.

The art work in some of these sleeves is second to none and they alone make old videos collectable.

Sadly I do not own any of these older releases so seeing them here makes me wish I'd paid more attention when I was younger and snapped them up when my local video store closed.

So big thanks to you all for sharing.

Tons more to come folks....;)

A lot of potential ideas here for releasing eh Almar?:)

In the words of Frank Carson,and there's more....:D

And once again................

Wow what a super-crap cover for Xtro! Makes it look like 'Mac and Me' but with Wimpy and Tizer product placements rather than MacDonalds and Coke!

Still I never knew Cannon put out Xtro in the US... The HBO of today wouldn't be seen dead in bed with a company like that now!

Oooo - I really wish we'd had a reversible Torso sleeve. :(

There, ther Almar - having the best version wasn't enough huh? lol

Well knowing what we know now about putting together DVDs compared to then actually we could have done even better - still we live and learn.

Do I smell a 2-disc uber-deluxe edition of Torso coming soon?! He he :p

There's not one single plan in place for anything like that but I'd start looking into special editions if people wanted them for next year. I really resent the way the DVD industry and now the Blu-Ray lot make you buy a trillion editions when they could put out the proper deal first time but in our case we were just pleased to choke out the film and offend everyone with the sleeve!

Anyway I'm letting this thread drift off topic - bad me! If anyone wants to start suggesting special editions and what they'd have then kick off a thread. Off course wishlists vs the reality of what we could do is another matter but it doesn't hurt to dream and sometimes dreams come true...

I always wished there'd been a reverse cover for Torso, there's some really great artwork out there for it that would have been nice to see gracing the inside cover. At the end of the day though I'm just thankful you guys finally gave it a great UK DVD release, definatley one of my favourites out of my Shameless collection so far.

Here's some more classic video covers I scanned in. The 'Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers' cover is from back when you couldn't print the word Chainsaw on film covers LOL :D

This is an old childhood favourite I remember seeing in the video shop when I was a little kid and always wanted to watch. Still got a bit of a soft spot for it, really love this old cover.

Ah I used to own that Colourbox rental tape - utterly crap film sadly!

Yeah it's annoying that the the first five titles don't have reversible sleeves.

Dreams CAN come true-Marc Morris tracked down BLOODBATH AT THE HOUSE OF DEATH after me pestering him for a year :D -Seriously though it was all Marc's doing-though he maybe even thought at one point it would never happen.Just shows you......
As I say Almar,a lot of ideas there,and I ain't finished yet!

Anyways,............
