Does that really have a following that Shout! opted to pay for that over anything else?I've been a little puzzled by the relatively high level of fan interest in this title (more on other boards than here), given its dreary reputation. (I've never seen it myself.) Maybe Shout was interested in releasing the MST3K version, and decided to give it an "unaltered" release as well? Also, keep in mind that Shout doesn't have access to all MGM titles; some are tied up with TGG.

I think the actual melting-man image has become iconic of 70's drive-in sleaze, but it's a pretty weak film. Is it supposed to be funny? I can't imagine anyone not laughing at the severed head making it's way downstream.

Factory, both of them American International titles, I am wondering if this means that a deal has been struck for a continuation of MGM-owned title released to Blu-ray. Has anyone an insider tip? Of special interest would be (at long last) decent transfers of the Corman/Poe series, as MGM itself appears to have no interest in them (but weren't they a cash cow on DVD?)

That said, I REALLY hope they get him to do a commentary for this film. Any input from Rick Baker would also be tremendously appreciated.
