Hallmark Home Entertainment

This company has acquired the prints previously released by Cabin Fever. Strangely, they only released the first ten volumes on VHS, and have slowly let a few titles trickle out on DVD. However, I did see some evidence of a DVD volume 7-8 that was supposed to be released on June 22, 2001, but have never actually come across a copy. Perhaps the ten VHS volumes were all slated to be released as DVDs before Hallmark changed their plans. Before releasing the regular black-and-white versions of the films, Hallmark put out six volumes of colorized shorts.
