The Vipco Thread

And good covers too, so another plus (except for the bland Screamtime set). I collect crap pulp novels from the 70's, and they really are crap - but I love 'em. So I understand the mindset, I really do.

Maybe I'm just a bit more cynical than I used to be, who knows. But when Vipco first started releasing DVDs in the UK the RRP was £19.99 apiece. That was even more than Warners were asking for their remastered, anamorphic DVDs (going, on average, for £15.99 RRP). I think Vipco were taking the piss a bit.

Hey no offence was taken as I said, You did actually make me laugh, I would probably be criticised for most my collection, In fact the vipco section looks like a breath of fresh air to many who see my huge Aussie Soap Section or my Tacky "Dug up from the bottom of the forgotton sea" type cheap trash films

I did hear a rumour, and I stress that it's only a rumour, from a reliable source who told me that Mike Lee had done a runner to Spain to avoid paying tax - he'd made a mint off his DVDs, apparently. Does anyone know about this or is it just another interweb conspiracy theory..?

As this is Arrow's forum I think most people here are aware of this.

LOL ^^

yes I am aware of the cuts but I am collecting the vipco Vaults catalogue, I have many of their films on other labels for The Uncut Picture quality etc, And I won HBTC off here yesterday so that makes 3 Various Label copy's of that 1 now.

Just got Death Trap for 2.99 at a British Heart Foundation shop. Video nasties being sold for a good cause, who'd have thought?

Hmm, including the Screamtime release?

[vipco]

Screamtime Tool Box is the same as VIPCO VAULTS unfortunately Neil.

. DEATH TRAP's a brilliant film. What a bargain you got there mate.
VIPCO shoulda used the pre cert art or the similar 90's re release jacket , as DT has terrible cover art for such a great film.

Who released it here in the UK under Eaten Alive. not to long ago . ?
I haven't had much luck finding it.
The artwork's the best i've seen for DT.
