Resonator posted this one awhile back, but now I have a copy of my very own! Love the cover and the film (released on DVD here as METAMORPHOSIS: THE ALIEN FACTOR) is a great throwback to 50s monsters movies, but updated with eye-popping creature effects (think THE THING with some great Harryhausen-esque stop motion thrown in for good measure) and gore! And to quote Chas Balun, it doesn't have "flashy camerawork or a hotshit, self-referential script." It's just good fun!

*I WOULD post a full-size scan of the sleeve, but this one came in one of those unique Japanese top-loading VHS boxes that doesn't allow easy access to the sleeve. **Does anyone here know what the purpose of this design is? Was it for video rental stores? I'm guessing they kept the box out for display and the tape (with its clear plastic slipcase) behind the counter when the customer rented it (for security purposes). Anyone know?

MY GOD VH! I am stunned. I, like everyone else on the board, am STUNNED that you found this one! I thought Bill Knight was the only one who had this as it was only a "test" release or something. Congratulations!

*I'm sure I speak for everyone on this board when I ask if there is any way you could scan this sleeve full-size (300 dpi preferably). Of all the Japanese VHS sleeves, THIS is the one I'd love to have!

thanks steve and jack , it's true Bill was the only one to have one til i uncovered this one and yes it was a test title of sorts 200 made , as soon as i get my scanner i'll get a full size scan for you...
