I wondered what the current average price was on these nowadays.

All I know, is that they're a lot less than the Hasbro sets!

   I had been looking for this item in good condition for a long time. Does anyone remember the CED Videodiscs (not laserdiscs), that strange piece of American video technology that competed with Beta & VHS in the early 1980's? Basically it was an analogue video LP record. But enough about history. This is, in my opinion, hands-down the BEST artwork for any video release of the 1931 film! Eventually, I plan to frame it. Just for the record, a Frankenstein CED disc was also released. However, it is as bad as the Dracula one is good; they just slapped a close-up B&W photo of Karloff's monster on it and called it a day.

fantastic! that's a beautiful looking copy

[Gory Glenn]

I remember those well. My friend had a player and a few movies. They would develop skips just like audio LP's. Cool item though.

That is nice art.  I can't make out the name.  Who is the artist?

What are the dimensions of these?  Do they fit in a record album frame?

This came up in a Google search.

Yes, you are correct; the artist is Walter Velez from 1983. The dimensions of the piece are 12 3/4" W x 14" H so it won't fit in a typical LP frame, I am going to have to do some kind of custom framing. I'm not sure if I want to split the plastic sleeve apart so I can display the front and back simultaneously.

By the way, here is the artwork for the Frankenstein CED; it's okay, but nothing to write home about...

[Count Zero]

the colors on this pennant are fantastic
i really like the slime green lettering

[Count Zero]

this past friday a friend sent me these photographs.





he was at an antique store and found this grouping of old super 8 films.
knowing that i collect old film - he wanted to know if i was interested in these.
ABOSOLUTELY!!! i couldn't reply back to him fast enough!



well, it ended up working out quite well. he was able to pick them up for me at a really great price.



these films are in fantastic condition and all the inserts are still inside the boxes as well.
its like they were sealed in a time capsule or something.
i don't even think that they've ever even been watched before.

so, naturally.. i dragged out the old projector last night and watched a few of them.

it was a ghoulishly great evening.
i am really happy to now have these films in my collection.

Oh man, congratulations on a great score! The graphics on those Super 8 boxes put those on present day DVDs to shame.

Did you enhance the experience with proper theatre specific treats?





Do you have any pictures of your screening room?

Beautiful artwork. I've got an old An American Werewolf in London videodisc laying around somewhere. I mostly used it for display before I moved, simply because the artwork looked cool.
