Midnite On A Tuesday Morning

Tuesday is DVD new release day and this particular Tuesday marks a special occasion: the return of MGM's Midnite Movies! The usual Midnite Movies ritual began at 8:05 am at Fry's Electronics (my seemingly home away from home). I decided earlier that I would pass on any of the higher priced releases, such as "From Beyond" and "The Return Of The Living Dead" Special Edition (both were $14.99) and "The Fly" Collection at $29.99(!), and shop strictly for all the MGM/Fox titles at $9.99 each.

I was in and out within fifteen minutes and got everything I had planned on. Mission accomplished!

Midnite Movies (MGM):
  • THE FOOD OF THE GODS
  • WITCHFINDER GENERAL
  • THE BEAST WITHIN / THE BAT PEOPLE
  • THE PHANTOM FROM 10,000 LEAGUES / THE BEAST WITH A MILLION EYES
  • THE RETURN OF DRACULA / THE VAMPIRE
  • YONGARY, MONSTER OF THE DEEP / KONGA


Midnite Movies (Fox):

  • CHOSEN SURVIVORS / THE EARTH DIES SCREAMING
  • DEVILS OF DARKNESS / WITCHCRAFT
  • GORILLA AT LARGE / MYSTERY ON MONSTER ISLAND
  • THE HOUSE ON SKULL MOUNTAIN / THE MEPHISTO WALTZ
  • TALES FROM THE CRYPT / VAULT OF HORROR


Misc. MGM releases:

  • THE BURNING
  • SCARECROWS
  • THE CURSE / CURSE II: THE BITE


Needless to say, I've got quite the task this evening.


UPDATE:
The Fox releases are clearly the winner as most all feature special features (theatrical trailers and/or photo galleries) as none (with the exception of a featurette on WITCHFINDER GENERAL) of the MGM titles do.
UPDATE, UPDATE:
Take one step back, 20th Century-Fox! Your TALES FROM THE CRYPT / VAULT OF HORROR DVD is only half right as the print for VAULT has been edited horribly (no pun intended).
