On the heels of Lionsgate’s Vestron Video Collector’s Series announcement, we thought we’d take a trip through the company’s VHS library to see what might be in store for future releases.
Right now, Chopping Mall, Blood Diner, C.H.U.D II, Waxwork I & II and Return of the Living Dead III have all been announced. But since Vestron was one of the most prolific video companies distributing movies through the 1980s, there’s a wealth of forgotten horror out there just waiting to be exhumed.
Of course with boutique labels like Arrow Video and Shout! voraciously scooping up all kinds of rights for cult titles to distribute (some that were originally Vestron), it’s hard to get a handle on which movies Lionsgate actually controls. And since Vestron Video also owned Lightning Video, which distributed a ton of B-movie titles into the 1990s, do any of those releases make the cut? The research continues…
For now, go back in time and peruse Vestron Video titles as they originally appeared on video store shelves.
