MGM - What's left for Midnite Movie releases?
Not sure if MGM still holds the rights to these titles but if they do, I wouldn't mind those released as Midnite Movies. Preferred pairings:
America 3000 (1986) Equalizer 2000 (1986) The Danger Zone (1986) Hell Squad (1987) Psycho Girls (1985) Moon In Scorpio (1987) Delusion (1980) Dream Lover (1986) Killer Party (1986) TerrorVision (1986) (might belong to Warner?) Solo: Jaws Of Satan (1981) Cellar Dweller (1988) Hospital Massacre (1982) Robot Holocaust (1986) Spellbinder (1988) I'm sure there are more titles. Anyone feel free to add.

A lot of the MGM Midnite Movies were titles produced and/or distributed by A.I.P. American International Pictures.
Here are some unreleased horror, sci-fi, and exploitation flicks: Abby (1974) Assignment Terror (1970) dubbed release distributed by AIP Curse of the Crimson Altar (1968) Futureworld (1976) The Glory Stompers (1968) The Haunted House of Horror (1969) The Reincarnation of Peter Proud (1975) The Savage Seven (1968) Savage Sisters (1974) Sugar Hill (1974) The Town That Dreaded Sundown (1976) Abby and Sugar Hill would make a great double feature of 70's blaxploitation horror!

I believe that MGM--through AIP--also owns the rights to Blood and Lace, which has never been released legitimately on video

Rumor has it that last years batch had poor sales, thus no MM titles this year.

I'd really like to see Futureworld released. I've always liked it, mostly for the cast. I wouldn't mind seeing The Town That Dreaded Sundown again either. However, I could do without Sugar Hill, which is the only other movie on the list I've seen. |

Cannibal Girls and The Town That Dreaded Sundown are my two picks.

They hold the rights to most of the old Empire films (pre-Full Moon), so there are quite a few of those. I'd buy them all if they would only release them!

I'm really getting tired of waiting up for some table scraps while other films are going into their umpteenth pressing. I'm just going to get them all on bootleg and am not going to bother replacing them if they are being pressed legitimately. I realize it doesn't have as good a print, etc. but I'm getting over that real fast.

Yeah, MGM (and other studios) hurt themselves with poor distribution (and Best Buy exclusives), though a lot of the times, its not their fault stores won't stock them. Quite sad actually. I've been against downloading movies in the past, but hopefully one day studios will at least put up older films for downloading if they feel a physical format won't sell so well.
