You are in for a treat, with Little Darlings and Goin South. I cannot believe it's taken this long for Little Darlings to get a HD release. It's a hidden gem, I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts about it. Great video!
I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend picking up the Deaf Crocodile release World War III. It is by far my favorite thing I've ever gotten on VS's website. It feels like an Iranian reimagining of Lee Chang-Dong's masterpiece Burning. Also all of the DC stuff on the VS site is going OOP and is half off so I'd say get anything that sounds cool now! The Tune is another awesome animated film with some essential animated shorts as special features.
Thanks for the recommendations! I'll have to look into World War III. The Tune is definitely on my radar. Deaf Crocodile might be my new favorite label right now. Super diverse selection and so much care put into their releases.
Hey DJ! Another great video-welcome to the wild world of Vinegar Syndrome! FYI, Deaf Crocodile is ending their distribution deal with VS (they are now partnering with DiabolikDVD) so all their in-stock titles are 50% off. I scooped up all the remaining animation titles I still needed and you’ll be glad to know they *did* sell out of “Heroic Times”, so good call on getting that when you did!
I saw this yesterday! I was so tempted to grab The Tune, Benny’s Bathtub, and a few others. I just don’t have the funds right now unfortunately, so I had to resist the urge. Really happy I grabbed Heroic Times when I did though!
@@FilmsByColorWith so many sales right now, it’s tough to make choices. Will let you know if anything I bought is something you might like to add to the color wall.
Actually Sidekicks VSU Boxset, D.A.R.Y.L. VSU Boxset, and Southern Comfort VSU Boxset all still in stock on Vinegar Syndrome if anyone still wants a copy as of April2024
VS is the best. Everything you get from them is amazing. The best releases out of anyone, they really can’t miss. Have not been unhappy with any purchase from them. Loving their new cinematographe line just hope they put out more quantity for the next releases. Going out of print way too quick
@@FilmsByColor Yeaa i missed Red Rock as well which sucks but I appreciate your release updates because I don’t have the time to check all these websites all the time. Helped me out with the Mondo steelbooks big time because they sold out again right after your video 🙏🏽 so thank you for always saving me money. These releases add up so quick can barely get them at retail lol.
Vinegar Syndrome is a great label, with a healthy variety in releases. I have their limited edition release of Showgirls, which I imagine is very similar to that Sidekicks release you have, but they also have these cool deluxe packaging for individual titles where it comes with a slipcover that slides into a hard slipcase-I have The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 and Flesh for Frankenstein in 4K that way (the latter of which contains within the slipcase TWO jewel cases in their own slipcovers housing different editions of the film!) But then their standard releases also feel made with care-such as their WNUF Halloween Special. That had a great slipcover for its initial run. Great pickups! I recently ordered the Cinematograph for Little Darlings and the Yellow Veil release of The Saragossa Manuscript, too! Loved the video, you always find neat work that I wasn’t aware was going on.
Speaking of dark comedies at Christmas highly recommend checking out The Ice Harvest with Billy, Bob Thornton, and John Cusack It has a Kino Lorber Blu-ray
Second sight did separate bluray releases on The Mummy and Frankenstein and the monster from hell the last Hammer Frankenstein film with posters and books.
Also regarding the Indicator Boxsets you mentioned, those are primarily made up of self contained films that fall under a particular theme. One of the mummy follow ups was on the Volume One set though. I can't speak for the states but they look to be out of print in my country. However the films that were featured in those sets did get singular releases later and I have a few that way.
Glad to hear these four films aren't included in the Indicator sets. Now I won't feel like I wasted my money if I ever do decide to get those Boxsets later on in the future. Although those are not cheap now that they're OOP.
@@FilmsByColor Yeah I've just resorted to getting whatever I can find individually. Collecting Hammer is a real challenge because their films are spread out across so many different labels and there's a lot of movies released by them between the 50's and the 70's. Technically speaking the studio began in the 30's. But it's mainly the 50's/60's/70's material that is the most well known and readily available. I have 39 films currently spread out across those decades and I still have a long way to go to completion. I made a list on my letterboxd to keep track of what I own so far. Also while the horror material is how their best known, they did branch out and tried other things. They made psychological thrillers, prehistoric films (The most famous being 1966's One Million years BC) and swashbuckler films as just a few examples. There was an Indicator release separate from the numbered volume sets that features two of their Robin Hood films which I have.
Regarding that Hammer set you now have, the films in that are not included in the Indicator boxsets. I actually have two of the films there. I got the Mummy and Taste the Blood of Dracula. Dracula Has Risen From the Grave and Frankenstein Must be Destroyed don't have Blu Ray releases where I live it looks like. The 59 Mummy is the first in that series. There are four total. This is the only Mummy film to feature Cushing and Lee. The Dracula series has nine films total. Lee is in seven of them (Including the two you got which are the fourth and fifth film) Cushing is in the first and second films and later on the final three which come after those. And the Frankenstein series has seven films. Cushing is in all of them except the sixth. Lee only features in the first one. Frankenstein Must be Destroyed is the fifth entry. These are all pretty loose in terms of continuity so seeing them in order is not required.
Hey Stephen! I'm really glad you saw this. I knew you'd be the guy with answers to all my Hammer horror questions. Thanks for all the info! I really appreciate it.

Can’t wait. We’re watching Little Darlings tomorrow night!
The Saragossa Manuscript is very amusing!
I love the new line Vinegar Syndrome has. I have 2 of them & will get the other 3 soon. The digi-books look so nice & great movies. Nice pick ups
Thanks, Corey. Yeah they're coming out fast. I guess I need to preorder the other two soon
Awesome!!

Read this comment and went ahead and checked out the synopsis for this film. I instantly went to purchase it!

Taste the Blood of Dracula is like the greatest title of all time! It goes so hard!
I got the Psych complete series on Blu-ray today!!! Now I just need to find a place to hide it until my uncle’s birthday. Sent help!!

Yeah I was bummed that Red Rock West was already out of print. Had to pay more than I wanted to for that one, but at least I'm caught up now.

Always love geeking out about packaging with you, buddy!
I’ve got The Swimmer, excellent choice. Interesting film.
I’m really looking forward to finishing that one. Thanks for watching!

Oh wow, thanks for the recommend. I haven't even heard of that one. I'll definitely be adding that one to my December watchlist this year

What is the OOP Cinématographe release?
The Limited Edition packaging is OOP for Red Rock West, but they do have the standard edition available.
hello
Can't believe you've only just now discovered Flight of the Dragons!!! It's one of my favorite animated films from my childhood.
I wish I had grown up with that one. I would’ve loved it. Such a beautiful looking film. I really like the animation style.
@@FilmsByColor same. The animation style has always reminded me of the animated The Hobbit film.
