Subject: Attention!!~DVD Petition for Universal 30's film box set

This is the time of the year when I and others write the studio to request films that have been unreleased. There are five films in the list, with only two that have been previously released on VHS.

=============================================

Instructions:

Write a letter and email Colleen Benn at Universal Studios and they will file them for future DVD releases. Request the films in a box set configuration only. All of the films exist with some of them housed at Library of Congress near Dayton, Ohio. Some have been seen at film festivals in the last few years.

The recent DVD horror film set they issued last month is a good example of low budget films that made it because the collectors and fans wanted them to and they did so accordingly. I'll leave the contact info:

Write to:

Colleen Benn
Universal Studios Home Video
70 Universal City Plaza
Suite 435
Universal City, California

=============================================

This is the email address where you may compose your requests to Colleen for the below films I will document.
