Our product consists of new original productions based upon retro characters such as NIGHTVEIL, THE BLUE BULLETEER and STORMY TEMPEST as well as new, remastered versions of old, cult classic movies and serials believed to be in the public domain as a result their age or their abandonment by the original film studios (many of which have long gone out of business).

As fans and collectors of classic films ourselves, we take great pride in releasing the finest prints available in a unique format and quality level that you will not find anywhere else. We have been collecting rare prints and reels from private collectors and tradeshows for decades. Our films are most often assembled from multiple sources and multiple prints. We take the highest quality scenes from each source and edit them together seamlessly into one master print. Working from this master, we then enhance the contrast, sharpness and audio quality digitally, resulting in what we feel is the best commercially available edition of each film.

We then create our own interactive menus for the best possible DVD viewing experience, allowing you to easily skip to your favorite scene or serial chapter without trying to fast forward your way through the entire movie.

Some of our films (as noted in the product descriptions for each item) also contain photo galleries, lobby cards, cast photos and other bonus materials accessible as slideshows for viewing on your TV. A few films also contain unique bonus featurettes produced and developed exclusively for our releases. The most popular are the hilarious Crypt of Horror segments produced by Bill Black and starring the ghoulish Lon Madnight - our very own horror host!

You will notice that many of our releases are packaged in the form of 2-Disc sets. It is simply not possible to put more than about 2 hours of material onto a DVD without a noticeable reduction in image quality.... so we don't do it! A 2-disc presentation allows you to receive the highest possible image and audio quality that the DVD format can provide... and it looks and sounds excellent when played on Blu-Ray players as well!

Once we are satisfied with the quality of the film and its bonus features, we transfer the film to the DVD-R that you purchase from us. The DVD-R format offers "region-free encoding" (meaning that it can be played on any standard DVD player worldwide). We review each disc before it is shipped to verify playability on multiple brands and models of DVD players.

Each release is packaged in a standard DVD case featuring original front and back cover art that we have produced exclusively for our releases, most often featuring rare production art, cast photos, poster art and lobby cards. The discs are inserted into paper sleeves to ensure that they are not scratched during shipping, and the sleeves (containing the discs) are then inserted into the plastic case for additional protection.

If we were to purchase a DVD for ourselves, this is the kind of care that we would want going into the development of the final product. We believe that you will greatly enjoy our editions of these classic films in our unique presentation that you simply cannot find anywhere else.
