It's a shame Fangoria did'nt make more(other FX artists),Satanism and Witchcraft is the only other one I believe.

Holy shit thats a pretty awesome thing to own dude. I'm about to give the fucker a spin seems like it'd be a good insight to my favorite era of horror. Scream Greats was the tape where the cut scenes of Maniac were shown (and of course dubbed into the cut versions of the film back in the 80s over here). PAL versions of "Video Nasties" are something I get really enjoy collecting because a lot of that shit was destroyed over here and Australia of of course the prudes that set the ball rolling in the UK.

Was Blair Witch on VHS? If so, I got it awhile back for the same price. If not...thats awesome.

[joshaube]

Yeah, it was. It's an addition to my poor VHS collection collecting dust in the linen closet. It's pretty bad when I don't even have a VCR hooked up, hehe.

I haven't seen the remake of Planet of the Apes. I have the remake of Solaris on DVD. I can't give you an objective opinion, Return. I'm a big George Clooney fan, so there's no objectivity here.

[Jacob Singer]

Planet of the apes (Tim Burton's remake) is a big peace of crap, so I wish that you enjoy Solaris (I've don't have see it so I can't tell you if it's good or bad)

I saw PotA when it first came out and enjoyed it then...Ive been wanting to see it again, plus Im a HUGE Burton fan.

[Jacob Singer]

OK in that way enjoy it, I think that it's (along with Big Fish) the worst film that he had made...but you know I'm not a great fan of Tim Burton's work

That seals it, I'll probably like it. Personally, I think Big Fish is among Burton's best.

Oh, and I just read the plot to Solaris again...it almost sounds like a layman's 2001. Im actually kind of excited about watching it, sounds like my style.

he's fine in this .. the movie has a lot of nice little touches in it ..
(everything that takes place in a video store - and a very unusual car chace.)

the asian girl is to die for as well ...

[urgeok]

shit .


i checked out my favorite used discs store to find that they were going out of business ..

1/2 price - everything in the store.
so here's what i got :


on DVD :

- guess who
- taxi - the complete 1st season
- the fog (remake)
- the mighty peking man
- the exterminator
- bad education (pedro almodovar)
- meet the parents (bonus edition)
- little nicky
- the end
- darkman
- mesa of lost women
- love bites (asia argento)
- the hospital
- force 10 from naverone
- the longest yard (remake)
- mars needs women
- all the right moves
- slavegirls from beyond infinity (stupidest title ever)
- samurai assasin
- opera (argento - limited edition)
- jake speed
- elizabeth town
- four brothers
- dreamcatcher (it was $2 - its my only excuse)

x-box games :


- the cat in the hat
- the chronicles of riddick
- batman - dark tomorrow
- rlh
- terminator 3 - rise of the machines
- blade II


CDs :

- charlies angels full throttle soundtrack
- flesheaters - the return of the undead (50 'gothic' masterpieces)


all for about $200

[filmmaker2]

mighty peking man = kicks total ass! That is a crazed, crazed movie. Actually in places it plays more like a fever dream than a storyline, I don't know if you've seen it, but the "Giant Ape On The Raft Scene," with the disco musical score, well, it has a refreshingly odd quality.

[filmmaker2]

Oh yeah: You also get to see a leopard's package twirling around and around; a ditzy jungle girl whose costume wasn't glued on well enough; and a bear laughing. All in widescreen Shaw-Scope.

[urgeok]

i've had Mighty Peking Man on VHS for years now - but never watched it for some reason ..until now ..

my DVD of The Other arrived from the UK today.

Just curious, urge. You've probably been asked this before, but you have too many posts to sort through. So: how the hell do you keep track of all of your movies? You know, to keep yourself from buying ones you already have?

i HATE that when that happens...
sometimes the company price tag or the safety seal covers the strip at the top that often indicates the format.

i'll grab a fullscreen if its cheap and the movie wont really be hampered by it that much (and there's no other choice) but i hate them.

whats with the ding dongs that create a demand for those stupid things anyway - why dont they just make everything widescreen now (or whatever the origional format is.)

[The Flayed One]

Originally posted by urgeok

Because people like my parents exist. I'll bring over a movie to watch (I only by WS as well) and they have this nifty DVD player function that they can stretch the picture to look like FS. This has the wonderful effect of cutting off half of peoples heads in key scenes.:mad:

[The_Return]

I dont see the big deal with Widescreen/Fullscreen. I never even bother to look before I buy a movie, it really doesnt matter to me. Once Im watching the movie I dont even notice the difference, it's not like that tiny little bit on the sides cuts alot out. Uh oh, I cant see his elbow:rolleyes:. I just grab whichever is closest on the shelf, Id say I have about an equal number of each in my collection.

Eek.

It's just not right. If it doesn't matter to people, then the film should be sold in the format it was intended to be seen it.

Society is so whiny these days that they have to have every inch of their fucking TV screen in picture.

(EDIT: I'm not talking about you, Return. I'm talking about the people who WILL NOT watch widescreen.)

that boggles my mind.

it is a far bigger issue than losing an 'elbow'

a scene is shot with the entire frame in mind.
if you took a classic painting from a museum and zoomed in on the main character ... are you seeing the same picture ?
you lose the origional composition, balance, etc.

sure in a steven segal movie - who cares .. but in something someone took some time and effort with - you are watching a completely different film.

have you seent he comparrison on the back of the box ? you're missing 1/3 of the picture.

i think formatting a film to fit the screen should be banned.

You wanna know what annoys me?

The 7th Voyage of Sinbad and The Golden Voyage of Sinbad.....

They took the great full-screen images for these films and CROPPED them, to make fake widescreen compositions.

uh................................................ .THAT'S LAME.

They cropped out all kinds of good stuff when they did that. They cropped animation, mattes, puppets, all for their silly little widescreen frame.

When the film starts, even the Columbia Pictures logo is truncated. The torch lady has no feet!! I mean WTF??

This is the obverse of the other problem--it's an obsession with widescreen causing these companies to "force" a widescreen composition on movies that weren't wide to begin with.

You think Universal is going to crop Creature from the Black Lagoon or Frankenstein? No waaaaaaay! It's crazy! Never happen babe. They've done some silly nilly things, but they won't do that.

[Miss Olivia]

I have Xanadu on VHS too! I don't know why I like it really because it's a horrible movie but for some reason I watch it like every week......maybe it's because I don't have cable anymore....

[filmmaker2]

I don't think Xanadu is a horrible movie at all! It's a musical--musicals are often kind of shallow and glitzy with a head-in-the-clouds mentality. It's all about the singing and the dancing.

What I think sets this one apart is that it features Gene Kelly, and there is that past-meets-present theme going on. Brightly colored early punk rock costumes and bondage imagery, clashing (or is it harmonizing?) with Big Band style. It's not just a little weird--it's REEEEEEAAAAALLLY WEIRD. It's probably the strangest movie to come out of the early 80's, I figure.

(Adolfo "Shabba-Doo" Quinones from the "Breakin'" films is one of the featured dancers, and that too is a plus.)

[Miss Olivia]

Well, I mainly refer to the acting. The male lead makes rocks look more talented. I used to watch this movie when I was a kid and for years I thought he was Andy Gibb....you know, the little Bee Gee brother....like I said though, it's addictive. The rock-big band merger was a really cool idea.

[filmmaker2]

Well, after watching Michael Beck's performance a couple of times, I'm convinced he is playing a sort of a messed-up, slightly unhinged, unstable artist type. That's why he seems so nervous all the time...character is unhappy internally from the beginning, even before he runs into the Muse character. (I especially like the freaky moment when he quits his job...he goes into work and screams "I'm FIRED!" at his boss. The character is nuttier than a fruitcake!)

And the scariest thing about Horror.com at this moment is that we are having a discussion about the film "Xanadu."

Haven't checked it out yet so I'll let you know. Not expecting too much from it. I'd say it'd be the usual animal killings and faked shit but there's usually one scene in this things that make you go :eek:

I mainly brought this to sell it on cause they fetch pretty decent prices. The Killing of America has been the only decent one of these type of movies I've seen..... great documentry kinda an extreme Bowling For Columbine.

i have this film just because the Tubes are in it (the band that merged with Gene Kelly)

other than that - i do think it's pretty bad.

[filmmaker2]

Would that be like RCA Selectavision or something like that? Does it have those weird animated cards on each side that say "SIDE 1" with all the ones and "SIDE 2" with all the twos, as if you needed that to figure it out? (Gee, this is the beginning of the movie, so it's PROBABLY Side 1; or, this side starts in the middle of the movie, so it's PROBABLY Side 2...)

I have several discs that have started to get rot, and really, it's freakin' sad.

Freaks is a fantastic film. See it on the big screen if you get a chance, I saw a newly restored print awhiles back at a festival that was amazing. Defintatley one of my favorites of the classic era.

Two reasons: Im really impatient, and I dont have a credit card/Paypal account of my own. The last one is the main reason, I need to borrow money from my parents for everything I want to buy. I'd much rather just go to Futureshop or CD Plus and buy a DVD myself, that way I'm not in debt, plus I can watch the movie as soon as I buy it, as opposed to waiting a month for shipping. Another minor thing is Im paranoid about quality...just because a seller claims the item is in good condition, how can I know for sure?

Despite all this, I do end up buying a movie over the internet every couple months...but I try to avoid it if possible.

yeh I hear ya on the impatient thing, sucks parting with your money then waiting months for shit to arrive. I usually make deposits into people's accounts over here no credit card/paypal dramas and a few places and people I deal with use overnight courier so the wait isn't that long.
....and the condition thing is a bit of a worry at times especially when purchasing VHS. I haven't had to bad of a run tho the Men Behind The Sun tape I got the other day ended up being totally fucked but it cost like a dollar so whatever.... I'll put the original cover on my dub.

all discs - including DVDs are really 2 discs glued together.

3-4 out of every 10 go missing.

when i was buying laserdiscs - not one would get ripped off (because no one has a player and they are too big to steal ..
but DVDs and CDs are easy to rip off so it happens all the time.

a Discovision of Jaque Cousto - some whale special.

only one thought to be in existance ... another one was unearthed and sold for $1200.00

(a few years ago it would have gone for a lot more than that)

i saw another one sell (one that i have) for a little over $50

Nice choice, thats starting to get hard to find.

You know, Im starting to think that getting a part-time job may have been a mistake...the prospcet of being able to a buy a reasonably priced movie for every hour-and-a-half I work is way too tempting, especially combined with the fact that I have to walk past Zellers to get home from work....

That said, I just bought a movie that Ive been eying for quite awhile: The Party, with Peter Sellers. Being a huge fan of the Pink Panther films and Sellers's work in general, Ive been wanting to pick this up...and I finally got around to it. I have a pretty hectic week or two coming up, but I'll hopefully find time to watch it soon.

its not a time issue .. its the glue used and/or the way it was pressed during manufacture.

not all discs will experience rot...

the ones that have it get progressivly worse through the years - but usually the process is pretty slow.

(even then a little speckling isnt a big deal)

the Discovision discs were the 1st laserdiscs so the technology has improved vastly since

Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2

Ive been wanting to get this this for awhile, Ive been eyeing it whenever I go into CD Plus. I happened to be looking thorough the used bin at Blockbuster, and there it was, in great shape, for less than half what it would have cost new:D

While I was there, I also rented Tombstone and The Shawshank Redemption. Ive been wanting to see both, in fact I think I'm off to watch Tombstone right now...

The one I got is pretty barebones...just a trailer for Special Features. Agreed that the VHS cover is much better, but you've got to admit that Denis Hopper looks pretty badass on the DVD.

Yeh its one of my all time favorite covers. Gonna have to find a poster of it. It is a pretty cool pic of Mr Hopper but it would suit being on the back rather than the front shot. I guess they figured it'd sell more if the plugged the Dennis Hopper angle.

I just bought Girlfriend from Hell online....it was one of my favorite movies when I was a teenager and I haven't seen in since I was about fifteen. Hopefully it's still as funny as I remember, but even if it's not, the nostalgia factor makes it a worthwhile purchase....

This is a great thread for posting new shit that you've gotten. We pretty much stick with movies and some music, although I will post the occasional occult goodie that I acquire.

Warning: Don't hijack this thread!!! Zwoti will ninj at you all the way from England, and it will hurt. Keep posts to interesting goodies...

I got a movie from Sadistro called "Deranged" not to long ago, and I'm still eagerly awaiting "Suspiria" and "Deep Red."

I haven't bought any occult goodies in a while.

[The_Return]

Im proud of myself...I went to Blockbuster, I looked through the used bin, and as usual there was nothing worth buying. Usually that wouldnt stop me and I'd grab something anyway, based on the philosphy "It's cheap, how could I go wrong?". But no, I resisted and didnt buy anything.

Instead, I rented 3 movies for the price it would have cost to buy 1:

- Vertigo
- Rear Window
- To Catch a Theif

I havent seen very many Hitchcock movies, and I want to fix that.

I recently got a bunch of Famous Monsters issues with Gogos covers...here's my favorite of the FM covers...

[urgeok]

i dont have any of those magazines but i do have a lot of Warren mags (Creepy, vampirella, etc)



today in the mail : Futurama for x-box)

[Elvis_Christ]

I've got a couple of issues of FM. I never seem to strike them cheap so I just pick them up when there a reasonable price. I've got a few issues of Vampirella, Errie and Creepy. The Vengeance of Vampirella is probably my favorite comic at the moment.

Today I got a bunch of B-grade sci-fi/horror flicks on VHS (giving Attack of the Giant Leeches a spin as I type) and a few issues of Cinefantastique.

[filmmaker2]

I'm a weird collector when it comes to Warren magazines...I don't have a lot of them, just a little box with "some" of them (like 20 or so), and I only have one in really nice condition. I prefer to look for really old, beat up issues, because they are a lot cheaper, and because they have a lot of character...I feel like they've been around because they obviously have ! ;)

[Elvis_Christ]

Its criminal what people try and charge for FM and even Fangoria issues. FM is pretty hard to come across over here but you still run into the odd stash of them in junk stores. But you mainly have to rely on online auctions to pick them up which means inflated prices.

[filmmaker2]

The thing with those FM issues, though, actually any of the Warren publications, is that they're newsprint, and that stuff is just starting to crumble, a lot of it...I'm surprised sometimes that these things haven't just turned to dust (I have a couple that are almost reduced to little crumbs, they've just turned brown and brittle!).

Yeah, the FMs are all expensive, the original run issues are all over twenty years old, older the farther back you go. I love those things, though. Sometimes I'll buy them and read them for a while and then mail them to someone far, far away, to sort of spread the love, baby.

Evidently there is some extra material of Sargeant Howie prior to his arrival on the island, erotic scenes, and some other added scenes such as one with Christopher Lee's character reading a poem. However I haven't had a chance to watch these discs yet. When I do, I can give some detail of the differences.

I got my copy from amazon.co.uk, for about GBP 7.50 + shipping. However, looking at the site tonight, it seems to have gone up in price again to 12.50.

No good ones. Blockbuster has used bins, which is were Ive been spending most of my money lately, but they mostly only have mainstream stuff. Ive looked for Batman Begins there a few times, but no luck.

Other than that there's only 1 used DVD store that I can think of, and it's not on my side of town, which means I have no way of getting there on my own, which mean I very rarely go there.

There used to be a great one about 5 minutes walk from my house, but they closed about 2 years ago. I got alot of good stuff there...Suspiria on VHS for $2 being the best purcashe I can recall:)



Anyway, I staryed from Blockbuster's used bins and bought some new stuff today. Not quite the spree that I was planning, but Im still happy with it and it didnt hurt the ol' bank account too much:

-Bubba Ho-Tep
-Batman Begins
-House of Wax [2005]

The first 2 are great movies that Ive been wanting to get for awhile now, and the last one...well, Ive been wanting to see it. Ive heared plenty of bad things, but I still think it looks half-decent...

i had to check back and see if i made a typo ..

mary reilly (not maggie) its the movie where she's the lover or housekeeper (i cant remember) of dr Hyde (and mr Jekyl)


re. lawnmower man .. the origional release made reference to the short story written by S. King but he had them take it off on subsequent releases .. (they applied a thin strip of coloured sticker over top of wherever his name appeared.

re janet jackson - this is pre-boob .. looks older to me (when she still had the babyfat)

either way - her music sucks about as bad as 'music' could suck.

re. the posters .. no shining/no 2001 .. there were some cool ones though ... oddly enough 2 releases of Star Wars Empire Strikes back .. and i say odd because i already had them ... just those 2.

there is also a poster of battlefield earth signed by the director ... that must be worth 2 cents.

[_____V_____]

Mary Reilly ah yes...oops my mistake...that one which had Julia Roberts...yea its a cool movie...she was the housekeeper of Dr Jekyll...

janet jackson - this is pre-boob .. looks older to me (when she still had the babyfat)

yuck! As if her music wasnt bad enough!

the posters .. no shining/no 2001 .. there were some cool ones though ... oddly enough 2 releases of Star Wars Empire Strikes back .. and i say odd because i already had them ... just those 2.

Ah man! musta be a buncha recent ones in em then...that Empire Strikes Back is a cool poster I got it too...

there is also a poster of battlefield earth signed by the director ... that must be worth 2 cents.

I doubt even Travolta wont give 2 cents for that one :D

cool ... hand onto them for a bit ..

i owe a million movies to all kinds of people (zwoti - newb - I havent forgotten you guys) but i havent done anything but sort books for the last month.

Today I'm going to try a garage-book sale but it's calling for rain ..
i still might have a go at it until i see it coming down but with books it's a dicey gamble.

either way i'll be rid of all the damn books within the next 2 weeks ..and i'll finally free up some time to start burning people some movies.

[_____V_____]

I went and grabbed a buncha DVDs yesterday :-

The Outsiders...no clue bout this one but looks good from the cover

American Graffiti Collector's Edition...I ve heard a lot bout this one, esp Harrison Ford as a driver?

Dirty Dancing Ultimate Edition...I just HAD TO have this one...

Back to the Future...Complete Trilogy Widescreen Edition

Beast From Haunted Cave...no idea whatsoever...the cover looks good with the monster though...

The Brides of Dracula

The Evil of Frankenstein...both widescreen ones...

[joshaube]

!!!

The Outsider's is a CLASSIC! We are forced to read it in High School >_<. The movie features a bunch of today's well known actors before they made it big.

Today I got....

The Eye
Black Christmas
Darkman 2

I've been tryin to get my hands on The Eye for months now and here I found it to own for $3. I almost cracked a woody.



P.S. Darkman is awesome.

[Elvis_Christ]

^^ yeh there was a bunch of great sales on like that over here for awhile. Most stores have purged all their VHS over here and everything is only released on DVD. Picked up some great shit in those sales!

DVD:
War of the Colossal Beast

had to exchange it for the Reefer Madness DVD I got the other day because it was all fucked up. I love how there's a shitload of Monster Mash kinda flicks for dirt cheap on DVD.

[The Flayed One]

I just bought Neil Gaiman's MirrorMask. Any of you guys seen it? I've heard it compared to Labyrinth.

[filmmaker2]

I saw a trailer for MirrorMask and it looked pretty interesting--at least there's stuff to look at !

I got my copy of Beavis and Butt-Head "BUTT-O-WEEN" a while ago, forgot if I mentioned it, and it's pretty funny. VHS of course.

Okay, I went back to Hollywood Video last night & scored another 5-some of kickass flicks for the unbeatable price of $15.

Round 2, I picked up....

Dog Soldiers
The Killer
Necronomicon
House of 1000 Corpses
Anatomy




I'm still planning on going back for more too, but I may have to try some trickery to outmaneuver them this time around... They have certain movies on VHS that they aren't selling, but the only way they are identified is by a sticker on the outer plastic casing. All it would take is the ol' switcheroo and movies that aren't for sale, will magically become for sale. I might have to do this because most of the ones I want that they have left, they aren't selling... Monster Squad, Dracula, Frankenstein, The Wolfman, The Prophecy, Childs Play (All of them) etc...

I was pissed the other day. At the Movie Gallery, they had a copy of Vertigo on DVD in the sell section. I knew it wasn't supposed to be there, but I was tempted to peel a sticker off of any random flick and put it on the case. Hell, the only attendant was outside smoking a cig. I probably could have switched every price in the place had I wanted.

[filmmaker2]

Well, Vertigo is one of those titles you can generally find. I bet you could get a cheep one on ebray or half.com

[bwind22]

I did. That's how I know the sticker means those are the ones they won't sell.

crazy .. most places here are practically giving everything away that doesnt rent at least every day.

occasionally some idiot tried to get $5 for a tape but they just get stuck with them.

[The Flayed One]

Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children
House of Wax
Saw II
Cerberus

[filmmaker2]

It annoys me....there's several stores around here selling their used VHS rental tapes, but they're generally at least $3.99, and one store wants $5.00 apiece for these things. The expensive store has FIFTY MILLION tapes and they'll never sell them all for five bucks! Begrudgingly, I have shelled out a few dollars to get a rare title here and there.

[Elvis_Christ]

One store I brought a bunch of VHS from had fill a box for $40 (pretty big boxes too). Another place was just charging $2 a piece. I only found out about the place a couple of months after the sale was already on so I probably missed out on some good stuff. I managed to get a heap of cool/rare shit regardless and I was happy. I usually only buy VHS if its dirt cheap but do part with round about $10 (NZD) for pre-cert video nasties just because a lot of them are impossible to get. Hopefully I'll run into another sale like you guys have to fill in some gaps in my collection but I think I own the majority of horror flicks most of the mainstream stores carry..... but every store has its gems!

DVD:
Horror Hotel

Horror Hotel..................now that's a cool movie. Love that movie.

I picked up Scream today...

I swear, Im addicted. I go into to Shoppers at lunch hour, with absolutly no intention of buying a movie. Hell, until today I didnt even know they sold movies. All I went in for was a snack, and all I came out with was a snack and a DVD.

The EB Games near my house is having a 3 for $10 sale. Which I think is amazing. And they also have a Buy any 2 get 1 Free. They are all used DVDs but who cares because the people who sell them back buy them, watch them, and then sell them back. None of mine ever have scratches on them.
