'''Wizard Video''' was a motion picture distribution company created by [[B movie]] veteran [[Charles Band (filmmaker)|Charles Band]], who would later go on to found [[Full Moon Features]]. They were best known for their VHS releases of ''[[Zombi 2|Zombie 2]]'', ''[[The Texas Chain Saw Massacre|The Texas Chainsaw Massacre]]'', and ''[[I Spit on Your Grave]]''. They were also well known for their detailed (and often lurid) box art, especially after their switch to the "big box" format. So popular was the label that [[Charles Band (filmmaker)|Charles Band]] has begun reissuing titles (starting with 1989's ''[[Intruder (film)|Intruder]]'') under the old Wizard Video banner. Wizard Video is also known for creating the two [[Atari 2600]] video games ''[[The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (franchise)#Video games|The Texas Chainsaw Massacre]]'' and ''[[Halloween (franchise)#Merchandise|Halloween]]'' under the name '''Wizard Video Games'''. However, these games were aimed at the adult market; so, because of its violent content, these games were either banned from stores or hidden behind the counter and only taken out by request. This caused the games to become rare and sales were small, causing the company to stop making video games. The company also distributed films under the "Force Video" logo. ==List of movies released on video by Wizard Video== ''Bad Georgia Road'' (1977)<br> ''The Best of Sex and Violence'' (1981)<br> ''Beyond Atlantis'' (1973)<br> ''The Boogey Man'' (1980)<br> ''Breeders'' (1986)<br> ''Carnival of Blood'' (1970)<br> ''Christina, princesse de l'érotisme'' (a.k.a.
