Vinegar Syndrome - New Genre Label

Actually shocked that Volume #4 & #5 ... 5 Films 5 Years isn't even flirting with being sold out. Volume #1 (the porn collection) sold out a while ago and Volume #2 is down to 90 copies.

 

Maybe people that are already fans of those films bought the original DVD releases (which sometimes contained extras, and the 5 Years compilations have none of them)?
Sure you get the upgrade to Blu but it's the exact same transfer, only in HD. No further restoration was done to the 5 Years films. I bought them as a "sampler" to VS, as I didn't have any of their releases already and this was a good way to immediately add 10 (at a time) VS movies to my collection.

 

By the way, is anyone else doing the Vinegar Syndrome online checklist? And more importantly, who's brave enough to list the VS porn they own and/or want? I am. Here's my list:

^^ And my list: https://vinegarsyndrome.com/checklist/1102/

I'm a Savage Sadist

 

I'm like a virgin compared to y'all

YOUR VS# IS 19 AND YOU ARE A PRISONER OF PARADISE

 

YOUR VS# IS 85 AND YOU ARE A RUNAWAY NIGHTMARE.

 

Your VS# is 47 and you are a SUGAR COOKIE

 

I'm too lazy to create a log-in, I have too many of those already. But I have pretty much all their blu-rays except the porn. And then I still have a few of those thanks to being a subscriber.

Speaking of VS, I finally watched Massage Parlor Murders the other night. It was basically Se7en with sexy time.

I'm a SuperSoul Brother.

 

Ah, so with my next purchase I'll become a "Super Soul Brother". I kinda enjoyed being a Prisoner of Paradise. It meant that I was John Holmes, with a hot Japanese girlfriend. Win/win.

 

Human Tornado here.

 

I see some people post their VS "ranking", but not their actual list. I wonder why?

 

No shame in my game: https://vinegarsyndrome.com/checklist/13821/

Yes, there is a lot of porn! lol But I blame VS for that. I actually wasn't into classic erotica until they started to release them. Now I'm a big fan of that era.

I'm interested in two .... maybe three. Maybe. Slips on two are pretty good. Might have to pay full price if I want one/both of those. Otherwise they could be picked up around $17 at DD soon after release without a slip.

No disrespect to anybody that did, but this is one of reasons why I personally pass on the year package deal. I like to pick and choose, check out the slip artwork, shop for the best deal, etc...

 

Yeah, I hear ya, although I'll be 100% honest and say the biggest reason I don't do the yearly subscription is I just don't have that kind of cash lying around. If I did, I probably would go for it.

I never was one to rent EVERY horror title at the video store back in the day, so a lot of what VS does are movies I've never seen. Which is good, in that a lot of VS movies are totally new discoveries for me. But bad in that these are not movies I've been waiting for for years to finally come on Blu like they are for a lot of you, thus I'm not drooling at every single release they do. So yeah, I'm still somewhat pick-and-choose on Vinegar Syndrome, not "buy everything!" they have. Plus, I'd never get to all the other movies from other labels that I'd like to see. Got a ton of Arrow titles sitting still unwatched, and oh, they've got another sale coming soon. Great.

 

I opted out of the hardcore titles this year, so Uninvited, There's Nothing Out There, and Splatter University will all be mine. All of which I'd have bought anyway. I already sold my 88 Films Splatter U at a profit, and I've still got my Nothing Out There DVD to sell, so all things considered I should make out pretty well on this line-up.

There's supposedly a surprise January blu-ray included for subscribers that hasn't been announced yet. Speculation seems to be Blood New Year, namely because of the month and that they've released other Norman J Warren titles. I don't believe VS has provided any clues this time as to what the title will be.
