Why don't you list running times for your films? During the transfer process- films can be sped up or slowed down. Running times in these circumstances are inaccurate at best. Running times can be affected by as much as 5-8 minutes. So we do not list running times to avoid confusion. Listed running times in publications have multiple running times for any one film. Running times are completely unreliable.
Censorship sucks! Although we will ship whatever you order- it is your responsibility to check with your local (or country) restrictions. Canada and Germany specifically have a problem with XXX and S&M titles. Order these at your own risk- we have found that the officials in many countries " confiscate " these for their own benefit. We do reserve the right to withhold shipment to certain geographical locations.
Video Screams does NOT offer the following types of films or material: Child Pornography (including but not limited to underage actors in adult films) Snuff Films Bestiality Films Please do not inquire about these types of films– we do not offer or know of anyone who does offer these illegal films. All actors portrayed in the films offered by Video Screams are of legal age and are acting of the their own free will. To order ANY film marked 21+, XXX, or listed in the XXX, or Franco section of this catalogue you must be 21 or older.
Why don't you give longer, more complete descriptions? With well over 30,000 titles we have found it near impossible to offer complete descriptions on every title. Although we try to list pertinent information- we suggest several publications that may help out. : www.imdb.com or · Cult Movies Magazine · Fangoria Magazine · Video Watchdog · Psychotronic · Flesh and Blood · UNCUT · Creature Feature Movie Guide · The Psychotronic Video Guide

F.L. means a film is in a FOREIGN LANGUAGE

Where can I get more detailed descriptions of the films? The volume of new stuff coming in keeps us from writing as much as we'd like. We are glad to help out via e-mail. Other great sources: www.imdb.com
· Cult Movies Magazine · Fangoria Magazine · Video Watchdog · Psychotronic · Flesh and Blood · UNCUT · Creature Feature Movie Guide · The Psychotronic Video Guide
What does "Upgrade" or "Upgraded" mean ? Video Screams offers a FREE upgrade service: When we get a better (upgraded) film print - we list it as an UPGRADE . This means if you previously purchased the film from Video Screams - you can return it for a FREE upgrade! Be sure to tape your name and address directly to tape itself to avoid any confusion, delay or loss. To receive a FREE upgrade without placing an order please include $8.00 S&H with return. When placing an order– no need to send additional funds. We have convenient UPGRADE request forms online to print. Please note we cannot “upgrade” films from VHS to DVD-R.
What can I expect QUALITY wise? We stand behind our quality. All films are transferred onto High Grade brand name VHS or DVD-R media using high quality transfer systems and conversion systems. All titles are Hi-Fi Stereo in SP mode for highest quality. Quality of course varies from title to title depending on rarity, where the source print originated from, or technology of the time. Our prints are from original masters, or converted masters whenever possible - obtained through International sources. Any title listed as "fair" is of fair quality (“poor” is poor quality).
How can I order and maintain privacy? ALL orders are shipped from " DCS Film Archival & Transfer" to avoid customs delays and possible seizure.
Video Screams NEVER sells, rents or trades mailing lists. We will never ship anything that will embarrass you. All update and catalogue mailings are shipped in sealed envelopes. Titles will not appear on invoices or on credit card receipts- * If you wish videos to NOT be labeled - specify on order form |
