I don't know, but I'm guessing that providing the service of these high quality VOD's (videos on demand) is a costly venture? Another guess is the convenience factor; "I want it and I want it NOW!". That sometimes costs more. Links To All The Classic Monster Stills I've Posted: http://monsterkidclassichorrorforum.yuku.com/topic/30758

That sometimes costs more. Bandwith is a large concern. I mean one feature I love about Rifftrax is once you buy something you can redownload it in multiple formats as much as you like and put it on any mediaplayer you want. The lack of any DRM and the bandwith cost might be a reason for the higher cost. I bought the VOD version to watch on my PS3, but I can still download as many copies as I want, which is nice (especially if you fry your computer) I loved it, one great part was Night Train to Mundo Fine being sung at the end. I firmly believe that Voodoo Man movie was seen by Hal Warren and inspired the plot for Manos, I really do.

I discovered it was up for pre-order while doing my weekly update to the "Coming Attractions" section of EC, and thought it should be reported here (because some people don't wish to order through the RiffTrax site). I suppose I could have dropped everything I was in the middle of doing, logged out of Amazon Associates, went back into Amazon and pulled up the Voodoo Man page again merely to get a non-EC related link... but that would've been a ridiculous waste of time. NOTE: Everybody here who orders merchandise online should use the "associated" or "affiliate" merchant links provided by a website that they enjoy -- be it Mondo Cult, AV Maniacs, Eccentric Cinema, Cinebeats, Mondo Digital, Latarnia (a fine site, btw), or any other -- to purchase stuff. We all want to support DVD companies and publishers who put out stuff we like, naturally, so the same should hold for the websites out there. "Dammit, it's jammed!" www.eccentric-cinema.com

Jan 10 10 2:37 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I have an Amazon Associate account and it is incredibly easy to link to something on Amazon without adding, or having the system place, one's affiliate ID onto a link. I make it a policy not to put my affiliate ID onto any link outside of my own website/blogs and, occasionally, my message board. To do otherwise seems bad form, to me at least, because one is slyly making some money by seemingly offering simple information on someone else's bandwidth space. In fact, as you well know, Amazon cookies track a person through these IDs, too, so that even if someone doesn't order the linked item, but does order something else from Amazon, you get a piece of that cut, too.

Jan 10 10 3:18 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	BTW, I think it's imperative that the CHFB have its own Amazon.com affiliate link (and use of other affiliates), so that money can be collected on this site for stuff like payment for the Rondo Awards and bandwidth Yuku use. I believe this has been discussed, but the idea should be revisited, as the CHFB is used by so many people. A good amount of funds could be generated in this manner. Mirek

Perhaps you could edit your above post, Omega Man, to note that fact?

Feb 14 12 8:18 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	VOODOO MAN on the Legend/Rifftrax DVD has gotten a lot of kudos here. Although it is the sharpest print I have seen, it is extremely scratchy and has a lot of wear at the reel changes. There are so many reel changes, it makes me think that this is a 35mm print, by the way. However, the audio is absolutely TERRIBLE! The attempt to clean it up is WAY over done. I wish that they had left the crackle and pops in. That horrid swishing and echo makes it unlistenable and unwatchable for me. I am really surprised no one has mentioned it. I think that everyone was so happy with the image and getting this on DVD that they didn't notice the horrid audio. Check out almost any passage with no music. Terrible! I have the French Artus release of this film in the BELA LUGOSI IMMORTEL set and it uses the same print and audio. I don't think there is a decent release of this title anywhere. It is on the Internet Archive in a sub par print.

Feb 16 12 10:17 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I agree with you, Mysto, that the audio on the Rifftrax DVD is less than ideal. But even more annoying to me is that the picture is improperly transferred to video. There is a obvious "double-frame stutter" whenever the camera pans left or right. Look at the gas pumps as the car pulls into the gas station or as Zucco walks out to the car. It happens throughout the movie. I don't know if this is caused by bad telecine work or a bad PAL to NTSC conversion, but it really is annoying. I wish I could just ignore it and enjoy the film, but I'm definitely OCD about these types of errors. Surprisingly, I think there has been only one previous post mentioning this.

Feb 17 12 2:06 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	The French PAL DVD is even worse. They are the exact same transfer, but the French one really exagerates this problem. The copy on the Internet Archive has a fairly dull image, but it is much more watchable than this transfer. http://www.archive.org/details/VoodooMan1944 Lets face it, we really need a good DVD of this and RETURN OF THE APE MAN.
