For all you INFRAMAN fans out there (you know who you are), check out these new special edition SUPER INFRAMAN VCD packages. They're SUPER COOL!

This LIMITED EDITION Box Set comes with two 2 2 1/2" posable figures (Super Inframan [Red] and Skull Warrior), created by Koobo, as well as the fully packaged Super Inframan VCD from Celestial Pictures.
Pretty cool, huh? You can get 'em both at POKER INDUSTRIES DOT COM (http://www.pokerindustries.com/poker.store?page=item&sku=SUPERINFRA-VCD).

Check out the two different import DVD "Special Editions" for THE TWINS EFFECT:

http://cinemabizarre.blogspot.com/Twins%20Special%20DVD.jpg
This strictly Limited 2-Disc Special Collector's Edition [aka "Bronze Edition" or "Revival Edition"] comes with the following:

- A Vampire Slayer Sword
- A set of 4 cast photos with the printed signatures of Gillian Chung, Charlene Choi, Ekin Cheng & Edison Chen
- Deluxe Packaging

This strictly Limited 2-Disc "Special Collector's Edition" of only 3000 comes with the following:

- A Vampire Slayer Sword
- A set of 4 cast photos with the printed signatures of Gillian Chung, Charlene Choi, Ekin Cheng & Edison Chen
- Unique serial number
- Deluxe Packaging
Pretty niffty, huh? And it's a pretty good movie too. In overall comparison to a newer "Vampire Hunting" film, I thought THE TWINS EFFECT was much more entertaining than Hollywood's UNDERWORLD. I'll post a review of the film as soon as I can.

Both of these can also be picked up over at POKER INDUSTRIES DOT COM (http://www.pokerindustries.com/poker.store?page=item&sku=SUPERINFRA-VCD).

Does anyone know when the next batch of MGM's Midnite Movies will be and any of the upcoming titles?

[Scott W. Davis]

As far as the horror goes, the Midnite Movies seem to be an annual thing every August. But they typically release a few titles around April too. A good site to keep track is
