"I have not completely vieweed all the discs from my first order, but I have seen enough to know that your product is MUCH better than my old VHS tapes of the old serials of the DVDs available from other Internet sites."

THE ADVENTURES OF TARZAN (1921)
This was Elmo Lincoln’s final Tarzan film. During production, five people were hospitalized, three cameras destroyed, three lions ran amok causing further damage, and the jungle fire sequence ran out of control, causing a number of buildings on the studio lot to catch fire and burn to the ground. This serial was originally released in December of 1921 in fifteen chapters. Sadly, not all of the chapters are known to exist. What we offer is 1928 movie version of the partially-lost serial, known as a reduction positive print. This was common in the twenties and thirties when, after the serial expired in the theaters, the studio would re-edit the serial into a movie and theatrically release it again -- thus only have to pay for music and an editor. A cost effective way of making money on the same film. Since all 15 chapters are not known to exist, what we offer is the 2 hour + version on 2 DVDs. (And this is not the recently altered version where someone took the movie and edited down to 10 chapters and are claiming they have the restored version. We approve of restorations -- not alterations.)

FIVE ON A TREASURE ISLAND (1957)
Supposedly only four British serials were made in the late fifties and early sixties, released theatrically. We’ve been offering MASTERS OF VENUS for years and finally another of those are available. Produced in the UK in 1957, this eight-chapter serial involved four children and a dog on an island filled with treasure and killers.

CITY BENEATH THE SEA (1962-63)
Scientists are kidnapped and taken to the undersea kingdom of Aegira where they fight the tyrannical Professor Ziebrecken and his plans for global conquest. We were initially told that this was a cliffhanger serial but it is really a TV mini-series from the UK. However, we're offering it this month only because we figure serial buffs might want to catch a glimpse at this. Seven chapters.
SECRET BENEATH THE SEA (1963)
The sequel to the above serial, produced in England. Scientists Mark Bannerman and Peter Blake find themselves in the lost underwater city of Aegira searching for rare metals vital for the future of space research. What they find is danger and action in every corner. We were initially told that this was a cliffhanger serial but it is really a TV mini-series from the UK. However, we're offering it this month only because we figure serial buffs might want to catch a glimpse at this. Six chapters.

FREQUENT QUESTION AND ANSWERS
1. How is the quality of your serials compared to those sold elsewhere?
A: If you ever buy a serial from us and it turns out you had a better print, we'll pay you for that print. No joke. We guarantee the source transfer and picture and sound quality is as good as it possibly gets for each individual serial or we'll pay you. No one else offers that guarantee. (This is not a money-making opportunity -- this is simply a guarantee that what you buy from us is as good as it gets. If you think you have better, contact us first!!!)
2. Do you have more cliffhanger serials than what you list above?
We sure do. We just don't have the room or the time to list them all. Simply contact us and ask. It doesn't hurt to ask and the worst we can say is "sorry, that title is not available." There are a couple serials not yet available on DVD anywhere but we have more than what is listed above.
3. I saw the same DVDs you are selling being sold elsewhere, including the full-color cover art. What gives?
People do buy from us and (sadly) they make copies and sell those copies including our cover art. We cannot stop them from doing this and we have no say over the matter. But we can guarantee that we do our own transfers from laserdiscs, 16mm Kodak prints and other first-generation prints to ensure that what we offer is not going to be disappointing.
If you ever have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us!!
