What other Movies Should I get?

Hmm, this seems familiar. I would suggest Martyrs, Salo: 120 Days of Sodom, Cannibal Holocaust, Inside, Human Centipede, Human Centipede 2, A Serbian Film, Antichrist, Oldboy, A Clockwork Orange, Cannibal Ferox, Anthropophagus. That should be a good start. I am just joking. I would say try getting what you can at the pawn shop. Otherwise, focus on building your classics selection. After I did that, I just searched through compilations and books for ideas of what to buy. There are so many good ones.

Any and all movies from Hammer Studios.

I have seen most of the Hammer Horror films (well the ones I thought were important) and I Must say I really Enjoyed them (though in my opinion I didn't enjoy the Dracula films as much as the Frankenstein movies). But I didn't think about getting those choices

Most of your choices surprised me I really can say that Most of the movies you suggested were very Graphic, I will however do what you suggested by starting with the classics. I am hoping to Collect all the Halloweens (Original Series of course),also the Original Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm St.

Are you collecting movies simply to collect, or are you looking for movies for rewatchability?

My collection is rather small but only because I try to focus on movies that I know I could rewatch (this might sound weird but horror isn't as rewatchable for me as, say, comedies are) - A few movies that I find rewatchable are:

Evil Dead II
Army of Darkness
The Descent
The Signal
May
Shaun of the Dead

The hubby can rewatch both versions of Dawn of the Dead.

I am looking to collect but I believe that I could watch certain movies over and over again for example Halloween (1979)

If you love Halloween, DEFINITELY add the original Black Christmas to your collection; you'll see where Carpenter got his inspiration!

I believe he got his inspiration from Psycho (1960) and yes Black Christmas is a wonderful movie.
