I seem to remember MGM saying that they were going to issue more of these and never did (aside from those pirate themed "Midnite Movies"). Come on MGM, bring back the REAL Midnite Movies DVD double features with the same logo and price and everything. Pretty please. What ever happened to that petition that DVD Drive In had? I seem to remember that the site announced that MGM had caved and we should stop signing the petition and writing to them but now there appears to be nothing going on! Jeez, is it just me or we bamboozled? MGM shut us up pretty easily. Anyway, there doesn't seem to be too much conversation anymore and I wanted to start it up again here.

It would also be nice to see some of the older OOP MMs re-released as well - The Island of Dr. Moreau (1977), The Angry Red Planet, The Incredible Melting Man, etc.

Never seen either Return of Dracula or The Pharaoh's Curse (though always loved that shot from the latter in Denis Gifford's Pictorial History of Horror Movies), so both would be very welcome. Would love a really nice, sparkling (widescreen - ?) disc of The Manster. The best out is currently the Alpha and, needless to say, it could stand to be improved upon. The criminally underrated The Black Sleep could definitely use a nice disc, as well. Oh, and what about The Green Slime...?!

Jan 15 07 7:15 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I'm wondering what happened to THE GREEN SLIME as well. It used to be on Fangoria's upcoming DVD list. Not sure if it's still there. I have the R2 WITCHFINDER GENERAL DVD as well, but i still want THE CONQUEROR WORM with the different soundtrack, and of course the extended scenes.

Jan 15 07 7:59 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Right around the time PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN 2 came out last year, I saw a couple of new MidNite Movie double features released to cash in on the interest: Louis Heyward as Captain Blood in FORTUNES OF CAPTAIN BLOOD and CAPTAIN PIRATE, along with Bert I. Gordon's THE BOY AND THE PIRATES paired with a more recent swashbuckler, CRYSTALSTONE.

For a couple other titles people have mentioned MGM has some rights, but not home video rights. PAJAMA PARTY was released as a single title Midnite Movie DVD.

Jan 16 07 9:49 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I wonder if any of the new MMs will be repackaged editions of, say, two titles that were previously released as single MMs, or a new one paired with a previously released one? MGM did this before and came up with some interesting combinations. To be able to pick up nice transfers of, for example, both Dr. Phibes films, both Count Yorgas, etc., for under fifteen bucks was a good deal. What's left? How about both Dr. Goldfoots? (Dr. Goldfeet?) Perhaps they could move both Blaculas over from their (defunct?) Soul Cinema series? The mixing and matching possibilities are almost endless. Would they be inclined to put a more serious, adult-oriented film like LADYBUG, LADYBUG out as part of an MM, or give it its own release?
