Empire was just one of the companies caught up in the Credit Lyonnais scandal of the late '80's... and its catalogue was lumped in with Cannon's and DEG and sold to MGM...

...so I don't think he'll be seeing much or any money from any Empire release in the future...

Good old Charlie huh ! I thought he had all his Full Moon stuff tied up with Paramount too, but he seems to be 'working around' this as I've just picked up a couple of his Region 0 best of boxsets that have been released in Australia on the 'Kangaroo' label - yeah right !! who does he think he's kidding !! But still, at least I can dump my crappy VHS - DVD transfers that I did a few years back as my early Full Moon stuff was beginning to deteriorate.

I've picked up the Trancers boxset, Full Moon Classics Vol 1 & Vol 2 and the Charles Band Collection Vol. 1

I love to see a decent release of The Gate and it's sequel. Apparently it's getting the remake treatment. No doubt it will be a CGI crapfest aimed at mainsteam American cinema goers.

Kevin Tenney's The Cellar is just crying out for a DVD release! There just isn't enough cheesy monter mayhem out there on DVD!

The Gate has been released in Europe in a really nice anamorphic remastered edition. I had the Italian release, but it had non-removeable subs, so I got the Dutch one which was perfect. Never seen part 2 tho, any good?

The second wasn't as good as the first, but it did have the same excellent stop-motion effects.

A few that I would like to throw into the hat are: 1. See No Evil. 2. Terror on Tour. 3. Death Warmed Up (yes, I know its from new zealand!) and 4. Warewolves on Wheels.

Death Warmed Up once had a very early Arrow Films DVD release - I reminded them of this the other day as I'd like to see a re-release.

That would be superb Almar! Used to have the old medusa poster on my wall as a kid. A very underated film, great fun as well.

God,yeah I remember that.
Around the same time as THE BROOD?
Was it uncut Almar?

BTW Almar,you watched RITUALS yet?

What are the chances of this on appearing in the UK?

Same cuts as the cinema/video print from what I remember. Wouldn't have any problems today.
