Horror Movies That Are Stuck on VHS

Download at Archive.org This is a complete overhaul of an older series of videos about horror movies that have never legally made it to DVD, Blu-Ray, or Digital. Several titles were removed but even more were added. Due to the nature of this episode a lot of the available images are very low quality, non existent, or had to be converted from my personal copies. I apologize for the quality, I used the best sources available. Minor correction: when talking about the last film I reference the website 3blackchicks.com and their review. My phrasing makes it sound like the website itself was abandoned but it is really only this particular part of it that seems abandoned. Sorry for any confusion.
