JANUARY 20 VHS HISTORY LEASON : NEW WORLD VIDEO

Contrary to popular belief, Roger Corman had nothing to do with New World Video, since he sold his interest in New World Pictures in 1984. In a relatively short period of time (1984 - 1989), New World Video left quite an impression for the horror film lover. Releasing such films as J.P. Simon's SLUGS, the first two HELLRAISER films, direct-to-video fare CELLAR DWELLER and ZOMBIE NIGHTMARE and some chosen cuts from New World Picture's classic 70's output (BURY ME AN ANGEL, ANGELS DIE HARD, PEACE KILLERS), New World Video had nearly something for everyone. If you wanted action, you could rent THE OMEGA SYNDROME, THE ANNIHILATORS or the very offbeat CERTAIN FURY. If you wanted adventure, you could take home JAKE SPEED, DEF-CON 4 or CODENAME:WILDGEESE. If you desired comedy, you could laugh at TRANSYLVANIA 6-5000, Larry Cohen's THE STUFF or FRATERNITY VACATION (starring future pole-smoker Stephen Geoffreys). If you wanted to take home a theatrical production, New World Video offered such films as DEAD HEAT, FLOWERS IN THE ATTIC, BLACK MOON RISING or TUFF TURF. But, New World's stock in trade was horror films. Titles such as GHOSTKEEPER, THE HOUSE ON STRAW HILL, GHOST TOWN, TERROR IN THE SWAMP, TORMENT and many. many others lined the video shelves for the undiscriminating renter. Alas, all good things must come to an end, and New World Video's came in 1989, when the News Corporation (who also owned 20th Century-Fox) bought the company and licensed most of the post-1984 library to budget label Starmaker (who released a bunch of New World titles in the crappy EP mode) and eventually Anchor Bay Entertainment. Roger Corman still retained rights to most of the pre-1984 New World library and began releasing them on his New Concorde Home Video label, both on VHS and DVD (right up until this day). { text from critcononline.com }
