The Vipco Thread

What are your favourite titles on this label? (Video or DVD).

Mine are

Cannibal Holocaust (although I now have the uncut, 2 disc DVD)
The Beyond
Vault of Horror
City of the Living Dead!!
Cannibal Ferox
Asylum
The Burning (Which I have replaced with the new Region 1 DVD)

Lots of good ones, but also some duds including Nostril Picker , Case of the Bloody Iris, God Told Me To, Death Trap...

The Bogey Man
Shogun Assassin (beware Vipco's Widescreen version which reduces Samurai warriors into Weebles)
The Slayer
Zombie Creeping Flesh
The Zombie Dead (aka Burial Ground)
(the above 2 are guilty pleasures of mine)
The Last Hunter
The Deadly Spawn (great film, ghastly print, get the R1 release)

Night Of The Demon is another class film but Vipco's DVD reissue of the cut video version was atrocious, considering it would have passed uncut even then. This one NEEDS a Shameless release.

I'll second The Slayer!

"The Slayer" is still very much underrepresentated...on R2 anyway....so that one would be great!

I was nearly thrown into a straightjacket on the abuk forums for collecting the vipco range

Good bloody artwork pishy transfers and outrageous reviews on the back covers......still got every one of them

They appear every now and then as second hand offers in Helsinki's import shops.
Sadly missed out on "The Slayer", but a hold of the unbelievably messy presentation that is "Death Screams".

How can you not include the Incredible Melting Man??!?!??!

I saw the incredible melting man in the cinema way back when. Liked it then but recently rewatched it and its not aged too well. Some vipco favs of mine- city of the living dead for a delightful catriona macoll commentary, the bronx warriors 1+2 twofer and new barbarians.
