Media Home Entertainment

History

Media Home Entertainment was originally formed in 1978 by Charles Band to distribute its titles on videocassette. In 1980, Band left the company to start out Wizard Video.

In late 1983, the company was sold to Heron International, and in 1984, MHE purchased The Nostalgia Merchant which became its nostalgic label, with some of MHE's nostalgia-themed titles moved to The Nostalgia Merchant, in exchange for Nostalgia Merchant's catalog of 1970s-1980s movies being shifted to MHE, and launched Snoopy's Home Video Library for Peanuts titles, Private Screenings for erotic titles, and Music Media for its music titles. Also that year, Heron International formed Heron Communications, and MHE had secured a deal with German-based VCL Communications whereas Media distributed titles from that company, before new deals were made with Karl-Lorimar Home Video and Continental Video in 1986 after this deal lapsed. By 1985, Media Home Entertainment launched another label, the Cinematheque Collection, for arthouse/foreign titles.

The company stroke big in August 1985, when it partnered with Cannon Films, whereas the former would distribute approximately 32 of the latter's then-upcoming films onto videocassette. Also that year, the company would begin using the alias "Luna Video" for the Private Screenings label.

In 1986, Heron Communications launched more labels: Condor Video for Spanish titles, Hi-Tops Video for children's titles and Fox Hills Video for low-profile and special-interest titles (including sports). For two years, these labels handled their own marketing, while Media Home Entertainment handled sales for the latter two, whereas sales for the former were handled by Vid-Dimension. Additionally, Felix the Cat and Popeye titles and the Snoopy's Home Video Library label were shifted to Hi-Tops, whereas The Nostalgia Merchant was shifted to Fox Hills.

In 1987, Fox Hills began distributing titles by NFL Films. In February 1988, Media secured a deal with Video Treasures, whereas the latter would market and distribute dozens of the former's pre-1987 catalog releases for the budget sell-through market. In January 1990, the deal was expanded, whereas Video Treasures became the budget sell-through distributor of most of Media Home Entertainment's releases, both pre- and post-1987, even releases on Hi-Tops and Fox Hills. At the time, it was estimated that Media's library consisted of over 1,500 titles. Later that year, Private Screenings was rebranded completely as Luna Video, while the Nostalgia Merchant and Fox Hills Video labels were phased out in favor of the normal Media label being used for future low-profile and special-interest releases.

Beginning on January 1, 1991, following the Heron scandals, Media Home Entertainment began distributing its videocassette releases through The CBS/Fox Company (later known as FoxVideo), generally into the rental market, while retaining its marketing. Video Treasures continued to market and distribute the company's catalog and then-upcoming releases into the budget sell-through market, while Image Entertainment continued to distribute its releases onto laserdisc. Additionally, Morgan Creek's titles were transferred outright from Media to CBS/Fox. Heron would later sell the trademark rights to the Hi-Tops Video name, and the rights to 60 then-upcoming titles slated to be released on that label (including new installments in the Baby Songs series), to Western Publishing Company (although Media Home Entertainment, primarily through Video Treasures, retained the rights to most of Hi-Tops' catalog titles, while the Stories to Remember series was eventually transferred to BMG Video in 1992), as well as obscure labels Luna Video to III Star Releasing (subsequently reverted to Private Screenings) and Cinematheque Collection to Xenon Entertainment in 1991 (one exception was a foreign World War II-based film, which was transferred outright to Video Treasures, which in turn subsequently reissued it under the Burbank Video imprint as part of the Burbank Combat Classics line).

The company soon lost the licenses to the NFL Films titles to PolyGram Video in 1992 and the Kathy Smith titles to A*Vision Entertainment, and the company as a whole went defunct by the end of 1993. Heron was planning to release the titles again all the way from its home in London beginning in 1996, the year after Video Treasures became Anchor Bay Entertainment, but this plan presumably fell through, since at the time of MHE's bankruptcy, Video Treasures was renewing the company's pre-existing agreements with some of the titles' licensing rightsholders, including Cantharus Productions, Pacific International Enterprises and Trancas International Films. Video Treasures even renewed MHE's pre-existing agreement with Backyard Enterprises, ultimately merging it with its own separate pre-existing agreement that it secured in the middle of 1992.

Trivia

• Some copies of the company's releases, printed in 1990 at the Culver City plant (which, by this point, was controlled by West Coast Video Duplicating, Inc.), were packaged in Video Treasures boxes, possibly as a result of the company's distribution deal with Video Treasures.
