Cult Video

From the Audiovisual Identity Database, the motion graphics museum


Background

Another offshoot of Wizard Video started by Charles Band in the early 1980s, intended to release more "harder" and sleazier B-movie fare than the usual Wizard Video (and even Force Video) output. The original incarnation closed in 1987 along with Wizard itself, but was later revived in the mid-1990s by Band for re-issuing his 70s produced films and other cult titles, most of which had previously been released through Urban Classics, among others.
