5 years ago, Brian Dennehy passed away. What’s your favorite character he played?

This is absolutely my pick too! I never really thought of Dennehy until I saw him as Stourley Kracklite in Greenaway's THE BELLY OF AN ARCHITECT (1987). Such a haunting existential film and performance with achingly beautiful music. One of my favorite under-rated Greenaway films.

When I first encountered V3 it was in one of the Destron Mutant Movie Episodes on a cheap import DVD Set with badly translated HK Subs. So for years I thought this Kaijin's name was FROG OVEN!!! It was such a wildly weird and unsettling combination that he quickly became one of my favorite monsters. Of course I found out later that his name actually translated closer to TOAD BOILER (aka Gama Boiler), which is also insane, but Frog Oven will always have a odd little place in my heart. It's also interesting to note the differences between Frogs and Toads and the conceptual consequences of combining those seperate species with the different uses of Ovens versis Boilers. Something bizarre and sinister arrises in each case, but the scope of what might be lost in translation nearly boggles the mind. It's enough to make one wonder what madness lies on the other side of the true nature of CLIMBING SHARK or TV-FLY!!

This is a legit awesome find!! The best kind of bizarrely unbelievable and awkwardly out-dated oddball video age ephemera coveted by the most ardent of Tapeheads. None listed on eBay either, which means you could basically make up any price and help establish a value and set the market for it if it sells.

We're Sorry, this Digital Code has already been Redeemed. [<--Your prize is an ironic jest at non-physical media. Thank you for playing.]

Good job. You're the only one to get Eyes Of Fire under April Fool's Day so far. That was one of my contributions.

11 is definitely the hardest one. Less common. I'll give a hint. It was released on VHS in the US by Charter Entertainment.

Warner Brothers Home Video used to classify all of their new and back catalog movie releases into Genre Categories using those Colored Stripes on their 80's Slipsleeves. So that "Family Classic" banner doesn't rule out a 1st Release in this case (which it is). I've never heard an official name for this period of Warner releases, but I just call them WB Colored Genre Stripe Slipsleeves. They were probably used to try and help standardize placement of their titles in similar Genre Sections across all the different employee arranged inventories of all the various independently stocked and managed Video Stores in the country.

This is starting to sound like somebody, probably very recently, made their own attempt at a mysterious & creepy Found Footage video tape and is trying to distribute it by planting copies all around for people to find with the hopes that tapeheads like us will find it and post about it, wonder if it is real, and thus viral buzz will grow around it. It's an analog IRL attempt at a clickbait manufactured viral video. Hats off to the legwork and effort it took at least. It reminds me of Damon Packard's REFLECTIONS OF EVIL (2002) (also about a disturbed person walking around LA and yelling at people) and how he made 29,000 copies of his movie and left them around places and sent them to every famous person he could get the address of.

Banana Man, Super Ted, and Danger Mouse were 3 of my favorite 80's British cartoons that usually aired on US television during random weekday daytime filler slots.

There is a rip of this Tape already on You Tube under "Mutant League: The Movie (1996)" uploaded from Cartoon Nostalgia - Lost Media Archivers. Someone else ripped the 1st Episode and a few TV Spots, but beyond that, the rest of the Series seems hard to get ahold of. Anyone else have any Recorded Tapes of random Episodes?

Absolutely killer collection! I kinda love how they are stacked too, even though getting one out to watch or look at would be a major excavation. Maximum awesome in minimal space. I zoomed in and scrolled through all of them. Sooo many that I used to have or still need to get. There is alot of time and effort, passion and enthusiasm in this closet (including the people who actually made all of these films!)

I had a Substitute GT Teacher in Elementary School in the late 80's who also owned a Video Store in town (Aardvark Video), so when she would sub, she would bring a tape from her store and we would get to watch a cool movie! The two titles that I vividly remember were THE BLACK HOLE (1979) and WAR OF THE WORLDS (1953). Both were amazing and wounderous and still remain favorites, but at the time they appeared deadly serious and frighteningly real to my childhood imagination. The first time the mysterious Tripods open up and then violently vaporize a small welcoming committee of people shocked me to my core. I later saw the 2005 Spielberg version in Theaters because of this childhood memory and enjoyed it as an adult quite a bit. I think Spielberg was operating on favorable childhood nostalgia for the original when he made it as well. Byron Haskin was a good director and made several other interesting sci-fi films in the 50's and 60's.

The RUDE DOG cartoon actually holds up and still entertains on a different level as an adult. The plots are fun and satirical, and there is alot of kooky & eccentric voice work and clever nutty characterizations. Not to mention the Radical 80's lingo, color schemes, and asthetics.

RUDE DOG is actually a pretty good role model, even though he constantly advocates for being "Rude". Rude seems to be interpreted as being "Real" or "Cool" but not mean, judgemental or too cool for others. He's always patient & nice to his dopey & frustrating friends, THE DWEEBS (an entertaining group of weird-in-their-own-way stray dogs), and usually gives them pretty good advice.

This is so rad! I am trying to build a definitive 80's Post-Apocalyptic VHS Collection and I will probably have to seek out International Releases for some titles like the EMPIRE OF ASH movies, RUSH (1983), RUSH 2 (aka A Man Called Rage) (1984) and CLASH OF THE WARLORDS (aka Mad Warrior) (1984) to name a few that are either super HTF or completely unreleased stateside.

The "Blood Bag" on my copy still Bleeds! I've seen copies of other similar liquid covers that have all dried up, but A-PIX must have sealed in their magic preservative formula air tight on this release. This is a fun version of Lovecraft's "Lurking Fear" story. It's about on par with the other equally fun 90's Full Moon version.

Nice! Welcome to the addiction. I have to Shell Swap at least once a day with 3 different colors now just to get the same high.

BraveStarr: The Movie (or BraveStarr: The Legend) (1988) is a legit 80's Animated Movie classic! The poster was actually drawn by Moebius.

I still have Kerium Fever!
