Trivia

There were three different iterations of this show. Full Moon's VideoZone covered horror movies, Moonbeam's VideoZone covered family fantasy films, and Torchlight's VideoZone covered softcore erotica. Only two shows were created for the latter (though different variants exist), both hosted by Sara Suzanne Brown, the rest were hosted by Charles Band, who produced all of the films that they covered.

Charles Band was a fan of Marvel comics and set out to create his own cinematic equivalent by inventing beloved characters and crossing them over into different franchises. He conceived the VideoZone series as his version of "Stan's Soapbox," an editorial/promotional tool that Stan Lee included in every Marvel comic from 1967-1980. It was a hard sell to Paramount executives, but the move paid off and helped to establish Full Moon as a brand.

The show began as a set of short making-of featurettes, each running under 10 minutes, that were included on Full Moon's initial VHS releases. These proved to be so popular that they expanded it to a 20-30 minute "video magazine" series.

There was an episode included on every Full Moon VHS release until 1995, the two exceptions being Shadowzone (1990) and Oblivion (1994) (although the latter was covered in other installments). At that point, Charles Band lost his distribution deal with Paramount, Full Moon slowed down their output, and VideoZones were only included on selected tapes, ultimately ending their run in 1999. DVDs were taking over the market, and since they had sections for bonus features, the format seemed obsolete. In 2012, it was revived but this was also short-lived. In 2021, it was revived once again, but this time, instead of edited making-of specials, Band convened with cast and crew members during production to discuss the films.

When these were issued as special features on DVD, and eventually Blu-Ray, they dropped outdated segments for the Full Moon fan club and merchandise, in addition to the intros from Charles Band and Spotlight segments. However, some DVD and Blu-Ray releases such as the Puppet Master series, retain their complete Videozone segments. Some DVD and Blu-Ray releases, such as the 2021 Blu-Ray of Beach Babes from Beyond, don't even retain the Videozone segments in any capacity at all.
