Brad, it's my understanding that George Barry forgot that he even made "Death Bed" until somebody found an answer print and thought "Hey, this would look good on DVD." Though it's rare there have been movies that sat on the shelf for years: the crud occult-mystery "The Dead Talk Back" was never released after the film was made in 1957, then it was lost and not discovered until 1993; the "mad monk" Rasputin film "Agony" was shot in 1979 but not released until 1985 by the Soviet government; finally, Ed Wood's "Night of the Ghouls" was shot in 1959 but not released until 1981 because Wood could not pay the film lab fees!
