AMOS N' ANDY-Oh, Hell yeah! This is a tragically vanished sitcom, based on a radio show that starred white men as black men, in this show the cast is made up of black comics. They are talented, the scripts are funny and seem to be no more offensive than "Sanford and Son", but somehow they have disappeared, deemed as "racist". The saddest thing about this is like Mantan Moreland and others, the cast of this show helped pave the way for other African Americans to have starring roles in television and film. Instead of receiving kudos for this, their contribution is getting buried. Check this out while you can. Only 2 episodes, but the quality is good/very good. Please note if request is strong we will soon add a few mp3 disks of the old radio show to our CD section. Thanks!

B/W Hollywood gangsters kidnap a Beverly Hills socialite in her Cadillac convertible and wisk her off to a remote mountain cabin, where a curvy "starlet" in a Spandex spacesuit lands in her "white light" spaceship to bring handsome leading man, Robert Clarke, a message and to heat up his hormones.

THE GIANT CLAW -(1957) Dir. Harry Sears.  yes- the obscure cult classic everyone raves about.  A pilot sees a UFO and nobody believes him.  Short and sweet- this has got the most hysterically funny muppet buzzard I've ever seen in my life- and these folks were serious when they made this thing!

THE HUMAN MONSTER aka THE DARK EYES OF LONDON-1939 Dir. Walter Summers.

Also includes a couple of neat trailers at the first. B&W. Very good picture quality.

THE MAGIC SERPENT :1966 Dir. Tetsuya Yamauchi.  Yes, here it is, one of the most illusive of the Japanese giant monster flicks, crossed with a samurai film.

NOSFERATU -Before you dismiss this 1922 silent masterwork as an easy find read the details. Most prints run about 77 minutes and are run at the improper speed of 24 frames per second. This amazing version contains footage often missing from other prints as the films source was compiled from several prints. in addition, the transfer is done at the proper speed for silent films, of 18 frames per second so the mood is restored.

THE TWONKY-1953. B/W Arch (Lights Out) Obler's tale of an evil TV set. This film was only shown once at a big Hollywood premiere and was withdrawn from distribution.

THE VAMPIRES aka GOLIATH VS THE VAMPIRES-Fun trash from 1961 stares Gordon Scott as Goliath (Maciste) who sets out to do battle with an evil warlord who has burned down his village and kidnapped the women.

THE WITCH'S CURSE-GREAT horror/peplum from 1962 as Maciste shows up in a Scottish village during the colonial era and journeys straight into hell itself to find an old witch!
