Japanese Laser Discs 4
I'm going craaaaazy looking at all these vintage LD jackets! Hold on to your hat...here comes another batch!
Agreed, the Japanese really have a knack to make nearly any film marketable merely through artwork. I think it's because home video seems to have always traditionally so ridiculously expensive, studios need fantastic art to pry such ample cash from wallets.
I only have two Japanese LDs myself, Evil Dead 2 (signed by Bruce!) and Demons.
These LD covers leave so much of the new shit to shame.

That FRANKENSTEIN AND THE MONSTER FROM HELL was the only place to see the film uncut for the longest time! I had a VHS boot from it that I wore out.
