OK...their first releases were all top notch with really incredible extras (considering the movies they were releasing),then they went totally overboard with the 2 discers of The Dead Pit and Beyond The Door.
Later they started to have financial problems but they still succeeded in adding some nice extras (where possible).
Nightmare was a big problem for them as that one went totally over budget so they had to cut extras on other releases to save money but all their standalone releases have some great extras.
I mean I just watched the docu on The Curious Case of the Campus Corpse (originally released under The CR/Shriek Show banner but also included on the new double bill) and it's an incredible docu on such a small and forgotten film.
The Nightmare release was never finished and rushed out so it's a bit unfair to judge them on that one (it is a fine release though).

Their best package would have to be Stunt Rock imho.
I know they worked on this (new transfer) and I think they collaborated with the Aussie company who put out the Aussie disc for the extras.
"We did the telecine from the recently discovered negatives, in aspect ratio of 2:35 in 16x9. The Aussie DVD will be using our transfer for their upcoming release, but our DVD will have more extras with Brian Trenchard-Smith involved in the DVD production of our release" (Code Red)
Too bad it didn't sell well...
