Have you tried a place called "Something Weird Video"? He advertises in Big Reel occasonally, and apparently is in the business of distributing PD drive-in-trash-type films on videotape. Apparently the quality of the material is all over the map (as would be expected).

"Something Weird Video" http://www.somethingweird.com has lots of cool stuff... but not the AIP's. The AIP package has changed hands a few times, and I think the titles you mention are out of print at the moment. But I do still occasionally see them on the shelves in larger video stores... and many rental stores have them.Titles like "I Was a Teenage Werewolf", "Earth vs The Spider", and "The Amazing Colossal Man" have all been out on VHS in the last several years. Orion Home Video put out several Vincent Price AIP's, like "The Raven", even more recently.

i don't believe that "I WAS A TEENAGE FRANKENSTIEN" or "I WAS A TEENAGE WEREWOLF" are currently available on video, and they certainly aren't on DVD. Some good websites to keep an eye on are

http://www.sinistercinema.com and of course there's always eBay. there are several copies of "I WAS A TEENAGE ZOMBIE" and you never know when some cool guy'll try to pawn of some boots of the ones you want
