Well the best I can come up with is 1973 and distributed in 1986 in the USA on VHS... Information was aquired from IMDB... Not sure if this is even the right film, but here's the link...

Either way, I'd sooner own the Original VHS from Paragon... I collect these Big Box Movies, and or Claim Shell and even the regular zed box movies as long as it has the Original cover...
So far my collection on these are fairly decent... I own all but Volume 5 of the Thriller Video Tales From The Darkde Episode tapes. I own Funeral Home in the Claim Shell Case by Paragon, Also Jaws Of Death by Paragon. I own Inn Of The Damned in the Big Box, I own Up From The Depths, Slaughter High Unrated Edition VHS Vestron Videos... I just love to collect these and just recently got into it. I transfer them to dvd and use the dvds to watch and put with the rest of my collection, but the Originals go on a seperate Shelf for disply...
Anyway, any help on finding this particular copy on VHS would be Extreamly Helpfull!!!
Thanks Tommy, I hope that little bit of information helps...
