Reviews
Weirdo porno
"A strange selection of movies, but exactly what VS should be about"
Love these Storefront sets!
"This is such a special DVD. Each movie is its own bizarre trip into vintage regional porn. I haven't seen anything like these Storefront Theater collections and I value them highly. Also they have gorgeous packaging."
All Night Long, All Night
"I mean, it's art and it's worth owning so you can have a piece of history. Grimey is a good way to put it. Very strange. Probably not as good as the collection in the other Storefront Theatre set, but I liked it all the same. Presentation is killer, and very much like the box et of lost films VS put out the other year."
Nice improvement
"Much better than the first storefront set. Still a lot of tedious ineptitude but some of these horror-porn hybrids are a real hoot."
Another Great Release
"This was another set that was an obvious labor of love and is completely stack. Major props to VS for putting this out and making it happen."
Insanity
"This is an incredible collection of some insane movies, which would otherwise be lost to time."
Box set
"Do more of these!"
