Verbatim Box Synopsis
A young girl is taken from the devil's religion followers and raised in the wilderness of Cold Ice Peak. The girl is raised by the legendary White Wolf of a thousand years.
"Legend of Cold Ice Peak" is the story of the wolf / woman that grows up in the snowy wilderness of the Cold Ice Peak, her mysterious traits of beast and animal that become folklore.
Beautiful wilderness scenes make this unusual tale a fascinating look at man and nature.
Devil worshipers and the supernatural!

  1. Even though the tape is cropped to 1.33:1, the image is actually a little squeezed. If you have a widescreen set, you'll find you can stretch it out to fit your frame without any real proportion issues -- meaning the tape is essentially 1.78:1. I've noticed this with a lot of Ocean Shores titles; while still not necessarily the full original framing, it's certainly better than nothing!

  2. Hi Bruce :)
    The super rare Oceon Shores VHS is up on Ebay now for a very reasonable $62. Sadly the extra $50 shipping makes it far too much for me !
