Media Home Entertainment Inc. was a home video company headquartered in Culver City, California, originally established in 1978 by filmmaker Charles Band.
Media Home Entertainment also distributed video product under additional labels — The Nostalgia Merchant (very old or classic films; Media bought this company in 1984),[1] Hi-Tops Video (children's videos), Condor Video (Spanish-language titles, including Spanish dubs of films Media owned video rights to),[2] and Fox Hills Video (a sell-through label, devoted to special-interest videos including NFL Films Video releases, some obscure B-movies and low-profile Cannon pictures). The "Fox Hills" name was derived from a geographical location near the company's headquarters at 5700 Buckingham Parkway.
Videos from the Media Home Entertainment library were also distributed overseas in the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand by VPD (Video Program Distributors) and Video Classics and in Japan by Tohokushinsha Film, respectively. Some releases by Media Home Entertainment and its associated sublabels were distributed in Canada by Astral Video, a now-defunct subsidiary of the present-day Astral Media (now part of Bell Media).
