MAY 4 2016 VHS HISTORY LEASON : VESTRON VIDEO

This is the single-most important video distribution company in VHS history. Vestron Video, a Norfolk, Connecticut-based company, released over 3,000 (!) films and specials on VHS during the years of 1983 - 1995. They started out releasing mainly B-Movies and gradually began releasing more-popular theatrical films on VHS until major studios wised-up and recognized that there was a profit to be had in distributing videos, which eventually led to Vestron's downfall. Their visibility was just not in the U.S., as Vestron formed an international division (called Vestron International), and released films on VHS to Europe, Asia, South America and Australia.  Later, Vestron formed a theatrical distribution arm (called Vestron Pictures) and had a monster hit with DIRTY DANCING (1987), which also spawned a Number 1 soundtrack album and Broadway musical. Vestron (which many scholars believe made renting an everyday habit) was also an early adopter of Laserdisc and released many of their films in that format. I own a huge amount Vestron releases, as many collectors do, for the simple reason that it was the only way back then to see a lot of rare and obscure films. Vestron had so many films in it's roster that it formed a sublabel, called Lightning Video, to release some of their more exploitative titles (although Vestron was not above releasing titles like BLOODSUCKING FREAKS and BLOOD DINER under their flagship banner). To list all of Vestron releases during their tenure would be quite a daunting task as they unleashed titles such as HOUSE BY THE CEMETERY, PIECES, SQUIRM, THE RETRIEVERS, ROCKTOBER BLOOD, DOLLS, HOUSE ON THE EDGE OF THE PARK and many, many others for the first time on VHS to a thankful audience looking for something different. If I have one complaint about Vestron, it is that the glue the used to apply the label to the face of the VHS tape would eventually dry-up, leading to the label falling off (this has happened to nearly every Vestron tape I own!). In 1995, LIVE Entertainment (later called Artisan Entertainment and eventually being swallowed by the Lions Gate Entertainment juggernaut) acquired the entire Vestron catalogue, thereby ending the biggest VHS dynasty in rental history. { text from  critcononline.com }
