Do Androids Dream of Galaxies of Terror?
WE SURE DO!
I wrote an editorial in the January issue of my magazine gushing over the Roger Corman-produced, kooky sci-fi/horror mind bender, Galaxy of Terror. I love, love, LOVE this movie, which has yet to see a proper DVD release, and publicly begged home entertainment distributors to track it down and do up a nice release. All the while, I completely forgot that my friend Charlie de Lauzirika (documentary filmmaker and the best DVD producer on the planet - he did the Alien Quadrilogy box set, the Blade Runner Ultimate Edition, Gladiator, American Gangster, Hannibal, The Hunger, Kingdom of Heaven, Legend, The Twin Peaks box set, and on and on) actually has the power to make it happen! He said he’d look into it. In the meantime, he sent me this hilarious mock-up for a laugh. Love it!!!!
I told him I definitely would like to be on board in some manner if he really intends on doing this for me - and all the other Galaxy of Terror lovers out there. The commentary by Jovanka Vuckovic thing is a joke, but I want on that DVD. I’m the film’s biggest fan!!!
I swear to god, I have the coolest friends.

Please let me know when this movie comes out. Thought I was it’s biggest fan, but if you get this disc out, you can gladly take my place.

Oh man, that would kick so much ass. My fingers are crossed.

Joanie - Chachie exploding head = early 80s greatness. I love this well as well as the mutant barfer Forbidden World/ Mutant they filmed right after on the same sets!

Jovanka ,
If you make this happen then as far as I’m concerned you are THE BOMB!!! Galaxy of Terror rocks! I’m a huge fan and have been waiting for the proper DVD edition it deserves. I was thrilled to read your editorial comment on the Rue! It reminded me how much I love and miss the film. As Pat mentioned on a previous post Joanie-Chachie exploding head= Priceless!
P.S. Maybe one day there will be a proper DVD release of the gory cheesefest Hunter’s Blood! a film not even in the same zip code as GOT but, if memory serves, a fun piece of tasty trash!
