You had me at Anchor Bay. Still the golden age of physical media for me. My first were the limited edition of Halloween and Tenebrae. After that I was pretty damn obsessed with the label and I still consider them the highlight of my collection. Going to savour this update.❤
What a great collection. Make sure to buy the 2 disc limited edition Digipack DVD for Near Dark (1987) which it's a mixture of Twilight meets The Wild Bunch from the Oscar winner director of The Hurt Locker and the Blu-ray for Let Me In (2010) which is a reminiscent of Twilight with some gore and I'm sure your kids will like it.
OMG! So you not only have the movies arranged alphabetically but also by label! WOW! I used to arrange my movies alphabetically but when my collection grew too much I stopped. Now I only put together the Venezuelan VHS and the Anchor Bay VHS. I have a lot of Anchor Bay DVDs but you beat me you seem to have all of their releases. Outstandingly awesome collection of Anchor Bay DVDs good showing and cool video Todd!👉🙂👈
pretty great collection you got there. I only have a few Anchor Bay DVDs mostly my Dario Argento and George A. Romero films. Use to have Maniac with Joe Spinell and loved that version than Blue Underground cause Anchor Bay has Joe's doc that I loved. also have original The Wicker Man. best thing about Anchor Bay was that they take care of the films with care.
Don't underestimate the editions that offer widesceen and full frame, the differene is that full frame gives more image at the top and bottom. That is not a case with croped full frame. I am the kino archivist in our local libery, belive me ❤
I value your input and your comments. It’s always nice to hear from you. The problem with full frame (4:3) is that much of the picture is cut off. Whereas anamorphic widescreen shows much more of the picture as it was intended to be viewed. This is why full frame (4:3) is not even used anymore. It’s a relic of the past. Anamorphic widescreen is coveted by film enthusiasts. 😃 I hope this explanation helps.
@@ToddEWalnuts I understanded, but how I sead, most movies are croped from widescreen to fit all tv. Some movies, but rare , are shot in both frame, The Searchers of John Ford and Evil Dead are shot in same style, how I said, cropped films are one thing, there are also movies shoted originaly in 4:3 but leater crpped for ws, the Stage Fright from Michele Soavi i a exepel
@@ToddEWalnuts The issue is more complicated than the idea you always get more information from a widescreen format. Some directors film on a format that is basically 4:3 and then chop off the top and bottom of the frame for theatrical release. In that case, the widescreen version would have less picture information. True anamorphic (widescreen) lenses are harder to keep in focus, give an artificial curvature at the edge of the frame, and are more difficult to light. This is why some directors use the process I just described. On the other hand, for example, James Cameron likes to shoot in Super 35. For this format, you actually lose some information no matter which ratio you want to end up with. For widescreen, you lose top and bottom information. For 4:3, you lose information on the sides. This format is much easier to crop for 4:3 and you don't have to resort to the old, electronic "pan and scan" method of old. When The Abyss came out on laserdisc in the mid-90's, Cameron said he actually finds the 4:3 version more engaging for home viewing. Like I was saying, though, in this case you're losing some picture information no matter which aspect ratio you go with because of the way it was originally filmed.
Possibly because of how you stored them. Different factors could cause that such as heat or dampness. I’ve never had an issue with disc rot and I’ve been collecting for decades.
why do I feel like I'm in an exclusive club in the 80's when I watch these video clips?? LOVE IT!!! thanks for sharing your collection and comments

Great video!!
Thanks for the visit
Also look out for 1981 horror Home Sweet Home.
I have a fan-made DVD of Home Sweet Home
not to be negative but some of the anchor bays releases i collected later on got disc rot like the phantasm release for example
