Ya know, Mike, it would've been nice if you'd really gotten comprehensive. 

Awesome list, my friend!

Thanks again, Mike!  I knew I was correct when I told my wife that  we should not store the VHS player in the crawl space and just keep it plugged in.  Have you noticed if any of these ever show up on TCM?

I don't follow the Blue Ray, but you could probably type any of those titles in a search at amazon and find out.

[Josh]

Mike, great list, I'd like to think that you typed that out from memory in one long burst at the keyboard (if you didn't, don't tell me, I like to think that you did). As for Blu-Ray, forget it.  Our Blu-Rays will be collecting dust with our DVDs and we'll all be direct downloading long before Universal decides to give the black tie treatment to obscure classic horror films, they can't even figure out how to handle their first string A list titles.

I like you! You're funny!
