THE SINISTER CINEMA FAREWELL TOUR—A MESSAGE TO SINISTER CINEMA & ARMCHAIR FICTION CUSTOMERS:

Okay here’s the deal…our Final Sinister Cinema Catalog is now available.  Let me explain what’s going on.  As many of you know, I flirted with the idea of ending the annual Sinister Cinema catalog a couple of years ago.  Sales had been way down in 2016 and Social Security yawned before me.  But you guys responded to our opening message in the 2017-2018 catalog in grand fashion!  It was a great show of support and we thank you again very, very much.  However, this past year (2018) was a rough one and for the first time ever Sinister Cinema came close to actually losing money during the calendar year. 

And let’s face it, we’re nearly the last of the original mom-and-pop video companies that are still around.  We started way back in 1984!  35 years…wow.  I’m the first to admit that we are technologically behind the times (way behind!) and the prospect of taking on the expense of new avenues of video release (blu-ray, streaming, etc.) isn’t something we are willing to bear the financial burden of doing.  So I’m retiring from the full time operation of Sinister Cinema and Armchair Fiction early next year.

WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT?

We are going to go through this year and the very beginning of next year just as we normally would.  It will be kind of a farewell tour and give us time to say thank you to all of you who have supported us over the years.  I’ll try to make myself available for phone calls, and your emails and letters are always welcome. Yes…we’ll have one last go-round of Drive-in Double Features in June.  Then we’ll have our normal batch of annual new releases in October.  Our usual flyers will be mailed out on both occasions.  Depending on the overall response, I might even sneak in one last flyer at the beginning of February, 2020. 

WHAT WILL HAPPEN THEN?

In February of 2020 I will make a final decision.  Do I pack it in and shut down both the Sinister and Armchair websites, or do I keep them open and fill the orders that trickle in from time to time?  Honestly, it will all depend on the response.  I know some of you are likely “horrified” at the thought of not being able to buy Sinister product anymore, but rest assured, keeping Sinister open on a part time basis is what I lean towards doing. Obviously, though, we will have to have enough support to justify staffing the office with a part time employee(s).  If you have questions, please give us a call or drop us an email.  So there you have it.  Our fate after February 2020 is more or less in your hands.  But regardless, it’s been a great run.  Running Sinister Cinema and Armchair Fiction has been a very labor intensive job, but I feel very lucky having had a career doing something that’s essentially a hobby.  For that I want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart.  Sincerely, Greg Luce. (and my loyal slaves, Kat & Mo)
