Thanks for the info, Lee. I may have to start my own NetFlix account, as I believe Carol has temporarily suspended her account, until Summer is over. |

Click the link to read an excellent review of Witchfinder General(1968), just released to R1 DVD by MGM Home Video under their "Midnite Movies" label: http://www.dvddrive-in.com/reviews/t-z/wit...ergeneral68.htm This movie is one of the few films starring Vincent price that I haven't seen yet. I just got this DVD in late last week and hope to watch it Monday or Tuesday night of next week. |

I have a couple copies of, Witchfinder General on R2 discs. I really enjoy the film, but I;d still like to pick up the R1 release. Hope you enjoy the film, Lee. |

The MGM Midnite Movies line of DVDs now has its own website. To access it click the link: http://www.midnitemoviesdvd.com/midnitemovies_home.swf Note: dial up users will probably find it difficult to access this site as it's very image heavy and includes movie trailers. |

I love Midnite Movie's site, now that I have something other than dial-up, but sad to read about their financial situation.
