The New York Times has a fascinating story (registration req'd) on the business of budget DVDs. Apparently, profits for public domain films sold in 99-cent stores are nothing short of amazing. Although these companies don't consider silent films a good investment ("for aficionados," they say), one can get surprisingly good quality stuff this way. Reading this makes me want to seek out that cheapie copy of The Killer Shrews.

I finally pulled out my copy of The Killer Shrews and watched it after reading this article. It's no Robot Monster but still loads of fun. You can also get it in a 10 movie set with a some other Z-budget classics -- that's the one I have and the quality is actually pretty good.
