On this episode of The 80s Movie Podcast, we continue our three-part exploration of Vestron Pictures and the rapid expansion that followed the company’s breakthrough success with Dirty Dancing. After a major hit changed the company’s trajectory, Vestron dramatically expanded its slate of theatrical releases throughout 1988.
This episode covers films including Waxwork, Amsterdamned, The Lair of the White Worm, Gothic, The Unholy, Promised Land, And God Created Woman, and more as we examine one of the busiest periods in Vestron history.
We discuss why some of these films struggled theatrically, why others developed cult reputations later, and how independent distributors often lived or died based on a few risky bets.
