The film was poorly panned & scanned & lists on Amazon for $21.99 Does Amazon routinely carry bootleg items?

They've been known to carry some of the Cheezy Flicks DVDR's. Their Billy the Kid vs. Dracula showed up on Amazon. "The important question is not, are there aliens on other worlds? No. The important question is, do they have ray guns?"

All the DVDs I've received from Cheezy Flicks (Billy the Kid vs Dracula, KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park, The Neanderthal Man, Curse of the Faceless Man) have been actual authored DVDs. But Amazon and Movies Unlimited do carry DVDRs. Watch out for the Nostalgia Family label for example. John

Good thing to, because the middle of the movie started to break up and freeze. Just burned another copy and it was fine. "The important question is not, are there aliens on other worlds?

How he gets distribution (and put out studio owned films like HICKEY AND BOGGS, or CREEPING FLESH before Sony put theirs out) is beyond me. feared impresario behind CODE RED DVD, whose loving no restorations of non-obscure and non-controversial films have earned them the moniker " #3 Criterion of cult" releasing easy to find films.

I've always wondered if the Jef Films, is the same Jef Films that used to specialize in Super 8mm reduction-prints of 35mm trailers in the 80's? They were great, I had POLTERGEIST, VERTIGO, MOMMY DEAREST, & CREEPSHOW.

Jun 28 08 11:59 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I'm sure this is of no help but I'll post it anyhow. Televisa is a Mexican label that puts out licensed Mexican films and licensed "foreign" films like THE ADDICTION in Mexico which some dealers bring to the states. I've bought a lot of Mexican films on Televisa, including several titles directed by the great Emilio Fernandez, the John Ford of Mexico. Televista with a t ... this I don't know.
