Odd situation with MGM Midnight Movie DVDs…

I recently posted that I had received a shipment of the latest slate of MGM Midnight Movie double bills. These used to be general releases, and then were (in the states) Best Buy exclusives, along with being available at Canadian DVD retailers, including DVDSoon, where I buy most of my discs.

A report on the invaluable DVDdrive-in.com site indicates that Best Buy doesn’t seem to be carrying the latest bunch, which in effect means no U.S. retailer is. Those looking to purchase these great bargain DVDs are thus directed to DVDSoon.com, Amazon Canada or Dvd-plus.com.

To reiterate, here is the latest crop, with each disc running roughly $10:

PANIC IN YEAR ZERO/THE LAST MAN ON EARTH
VOODOO ISLAND/THE FOUR SKULLS OF JONATHAN DRAKE
FIREBALL 500/THUNDER ALLEY
THE MINI-SKIRT MOB/CHROME AND HOT LEATHER
DIE, MONSTER, DIE!/THE DUNWICH HORROR
MORONS FROM OUTER SPACE/ALIEN FROM L.A.
TALES OF TERROR/TWICE TOLD TALES (Vincent Price flicks)
WAR-GODS OF THE DEEP/AT THE EARTH’S CORE

Details on each DVD can be found here.

  • I wonder if that’s why Wal-Mart’s selling some of the single-movie MM discs for $5.50. I see two of the movies I recently bought on that list of new double-bill DVDs.
