About me:
On July 21st, 2009, I was browsing around and decided to check and see if one of my all time favorite cult films was scheduled for a DVD release this year as I had noticed a lot of catalog titles from various studios were being released on DVD for the first time this year. To my surprise, the film was indeed listed and was slated to be released on October 27, 2009!
Unfortunately the release was not a legitimate release by the studio that owned the film and when it was brought to the attention of MGM - the studio that does rightfully own the film - the release was ceased from said company.
Shortly after that released was canceled, I contacted MGM about releasing the title legitimately and they said it could be a possibility providing they find it is a cult film, that will of course sell on store shelves and would be a welcome addition to any cult film collector's shelve.
Thus began the campaign to get THE VIDEO DEAD released on DVD, in it's original widescreen form, and out to the public.
Instead of starting an online petition, which sometimes can go either way, I decided setting up a page dedicated solely to getting the film out on DVD would be an easier and more efficient way for me and others to relay information in one place to show to MGM and say; "Yes, the market for this film is there, yes it will sell, yes it is a cult film...yes we know how bad it is - but we still love it!"
So tell your friends, post your comments, send your messages, post links, pictures, whatever you think will help - let's get this cult classic released on DVD finally the way it deserves to be released!
If you do not have a MySpace and want to help, please email; FoxDrop@4icc.com and request to get THE VIDEO DEAD on DVD! MGM and FOX DO pay attention to these emails and do keep track of them! However, if you DO have a MySpace, all you have to do is add this page as a friend and that's it! MGM and Fox are monitoring the amount of friends this page has and the more people who are here, the more they see the potential to release the film on DVD! Comments and bulletins are appreciated but not necessary!

There's even a website devoted just to the book, with an interactive map of the places and characters at www.the13th-horror.com.
Edward Lee called THE 13TH "A double-barreled shotgun blast of macabre entertainment -- an expert amalgamation of grotesquerie, eroticism, mystery, and pitch-black occult horror that no fan of the genre can miss."
And Gary A. Braunbeck said, "John Everson's The 13th is the first out-and-out horror novel in a long while to actually scare the **** out of me while reading it. It's stylish, extremely well-written, filled with richly-drawn characterizations, and boasts a labyrinthine plot worthy of Umberto Eco. Trust me -- this one will fry your nerves and break your heart."

horror column and comment. Right now under the comments we are
discussing which Corey we like better. Haim or Feldman and how we feel
about Haim joining another Lost Boys film. http://www.horrornews.net/Horror_Gossip/html/21.html
I am trying to prove Feldman is more awesome.

As my MySpace friend, I am including you in something exciting--I just won the SILVER SCREEN ACTORS SHOWCASE AWARD from the NEVADA FILM FESTIVAL for my new legit FEATURE FILM! NATASHA KIZMET: THE MOVIE! It has been called BORAT MEETS CANDY and I want your feedback, and the feedback of your MySpace friends! You would be doing me a big favor if you would post this comment so people would know to go the the "My Videos" section of my profile to watch the trailer and the other scenes I have posted. This is my market research as to how well we have done. The film is being shopped as we speak by a major film agent, and we are entering it in Film Festivals! This is exciting, and thanks SO MUCH for your help!!
If you want to help market the film, or get on the list to order the DVD when it comes out at a discount, email me at
natasha.kizmet.the.movie@gmail.com
xoxo

Also,my movie features a sequence with a Belly Dancing show that I did under my belly dancing alter ego of Raya--TEMPTATION OF BELLY DANCE. It has been called the most artistic and sensual live belly dance DVD ever!! Please have a look, and visit the DVDs web site!

By the way you should show MGM the reviews for the movie in "Book of the Dead: The Complete History of Zombie Cinema" by Jamie Russell & "The Psychotronic Video Guide to Film" by Michael J. Weldon who both give it glowing reviews as one of the best zombie movies you have never seen!
All the best with this project lets keep our fingers crossed!

The film has always had a special place in my heart, I lived in a rural area like the setting of the film and found it strangely familiar.
I ended up buying the ex-rental version from the video store when I was around about 13 which by that point was really dogged out, It became a cult movie around the area I lived with all the other kids and we always watched it when we would have movies days, and watch it in someones living room with the curtains drawn and the lights off.
I once found an old black and white T.V set that had been dumped and fixed it up because it reminded me of the Video Dead T.V and used to watch the movie on the set for added effect! My VHS tape died and was chewed up in my top loading VHS player in my mid teens, and set about finding another copy of the movie and trawled Video stores until I found a copy (In the end I had three!)
The Video Dead to me is an important film, showing artistically you can make something with nothing and make it extremley entertaining and interesting. The film also has had a huge effect on me as a filmmaker as I use the technique of peoples reactions and interaction to images on T.V's within my films as a way to build a character's point of view or motivation based on their reaction's to the images.
Its amazing that so many people have so many fond memories of this movie and hope MGM put the film out on DVD (Widescreen with extras!) I have added you to my top friends and will do as much as possible to help the cause over here in the U.K!
By the way you should sho
