Nice picture, Count: you're on the short list to cater my next birthday bash! BTW: I rented this classic from Eddie Brandt's.

I didn't think that this film had been released on DVD either; I was aware of the VHS release with Elvira which I avoided as being too much to endure.

I actually rented the recently issued double-feature of 'Earth Vs. the Spider" and 'War of the Colossal Beast', but 'The Cyclops' was what was on the DVD and it wasn't a broadcast version- there was a menu play selection screen. When it was returned, they gave me the cited double feature at no charge.
When I used to rent from Eddie Brandt, they would include bootlegs of unreleased movies if you rented regular retail releases. Chances are CYCLOPS was a bootleg dvd (it's not hard to make a good menu).
