Yeah, I know what you mean. The 90's Full Moon releases were the reason I started collecting their stuff.

Same, but I also like their Troma releases. When I bought some stuff, which probably included The Last Horror Film and at least one of the Toxic Avenger movies, from their table at the Festival of Fantastic Films in Manchester a few years ago, one of them asked me if I preferred Full Moon or Troma. I told him I couldn't choose between them. It does seem as if they have put Troma on the backburner (at least for the moment) and, in terms of the general releases and not those specific to a collection, are from Charlie Band.

'I Drink Your Blood' has been officially announced as well, but there isn't a lot of information:

"July Lineup Announcement #2 - 10/07/17

88 Vault #1

I Drink Your Blood (1970) Uncut and Uncensored, available in 2 cuts.

Lots more details to follow nearer release date."



It's also been confirmed that a) '88 Vault' is the new sub-label and b) this release has been licensed from the Grindhouse label

If they've licensed it from Grindhouse, then there's a chance "I Eat Your Skin" will added too, like the Grindhouse release (in HD I should add)

It definitely would seem to be the case. I asked them the other week about Sgt Kabukiman and was told I could get it from Troma.

It's a film I haven't seen and was waiting for them to release it because it would stack up nicely with the Toxic Avenger releases.

Their upcoming release of Luther the Geek is a Troma title, Nos.

"88 Vault" ? A new line perhaps?

I realised that after I had posted that statement and looked back on the thread, but the overall point remains that, in the number of films from each production company being released, Troma has taken a backseat to Full Moon at the moment.
