I collect two things actually.
I collect movies (of course)! I don't go all out there and get the same exact movie because it says "collector's edition" or anything, but I love to buy movies and my collection is building (pretty much like almost everybody on this site).
I also collect ticket stubs. I don't know why I started doing this, but I know I enjoy it! Along with that I collect my BlockBuster receipts. Another thing that I don't know why I started, but still enjoy looking over them!

I collect movie posters from bad movies.
I also collected those Coors Light mini kegs for a while until newb brought the whole "men don't drink pussy beer" thing and I had to give the hobby up.

Issues of FAMOUS MONSTERS magazine (probably the coolest thing on the face of this earth, next to you-know-what), and vintage stage and film cosmetic products. I have a bottle of Max Factor Technicolor Blood from the 50's...an extremely old and osbolete type of fake blood formulated for Technicolor film stock. I know I am a geek, because nobody cares how cool this bottle of fake blood is.

-Movies (obviously) Im still a big fan of VHS, so its not an expensive hobby for me. I'll buy the occasional DVD, but most of my DVDs were bought for me.
- I've begun to specifically collect every Hugh Grant movie and every John Cusack movie on both formats. Just for fun. Their movies are ones that I can watch over and over.
-I've collected stars since before I can remember. Anything with a star shape or pattern on it is appealing to me for some reason, so my friends all get me star stuff for my birthday. Its kinda my trademark.

I collect horror films, just like everyone else on this site, i'd imagine, and then I collect horror memorbilia too, posters, signed things, t-shirts, that stuff.
Since when did we have sympathy for retarded people? They dont know theyre retarded, and seems to me that theyre always happy. So i really dont feel bad for them, as long as they are happy....

I used to collect snow globes when I was a kid. I have three younger brothers, though. It was hard enough trying to keep my sanity intact let alone a snow globe.
I guess I collect Beatles stuff. My favorite thing would have to be my Beatles Anthology book. Lots of interesting little stories about the group in there.

Tattoos-I have a few:rolleyes:
Gargoyles-I just live their ugly little faces, I have them all over the house, in the yard, and a few at work.
Years ago in my old house I got this kool concrete gargoyle, about 24 inches tall, it weighed about 50 lbs. Someone stole it so I got pissed and bought a 4 foot 600lb one and put it in its place. Then I hung a sign on it that said "Try and steal this one fuckers" they didnt.
I like to think that the one that they stole came alive and had them for breakfast.:D
I also collect Dragons, medieval ones.
Collect horror action figures. My fav. is a Blade doll from Puppetmaster. If anyone can tell me where I can get "Jester" my services be yours for.....whatever:eek:
I also am a classic car and ugly truck collector.
Classic cars-49 and 50 Chevy, 69 VW buggy.
Ugly trucks 91 Blazer and I just bought a real ugly 81 Toyota flatbed 4x4.
I would like to get the pick up from TCM 3.
Oh yea I have a few DVDs all horror;)

Pictures, it's become sort of an obsession...my apartment could be considered a gallery, haha. In my living room I have a lot of family pics framed ALL over the place, a lot of ones that I took and a lot of old family pics that I've restored and framed from my grandmas collection.
Misfits stuff...not TOO much there, but I have a 3 records on the wall, a clock, 3 signed shirts, pictures I took framed, a box set, stickers, and a goofy bobble head.
Marilyn Monroe stuff. In my bedroom I have 8x10's, 5x7's and posters framed everywhere(mostly nudes in there), and I have a few more in the hallway along with a framed Boulevard of Broken Dreams poster, and a framed "Heatwave" record. I'm trying to get a Marilyn knife collection going too, I have 3 so far...they're pretty cool. A clock, magnets, calendars, 3 books, a Playboy, a music CD, and movies of course...I've been working on trying to get "The Diamond Collection"....guess I'll have to ebay it.
M&M's, my mom kinda got me started collecting these things about 8 years ago...it's weird I know, but I have all the colors in large plush, all of the plush minis, Christmas tree ornaments, a coffee cup and a keychain my aunt got me from M&M's world in vegas and a few other odd balls in there too.
Betty Boop things...My aunt gets me something with her on it every Christmas since I dressed up like her for Halloween when I was 15, guess she thinks I'm THAT into her :rolleyes: Anyways, it's turned into quite a collection...I have music boxes, snowglobes, DVD'S, and whole lot of other stuff I can't think of because it's been boxed up for about 2 years seeing as I have no where to put anything anymore.
And of course movies, and CD's...no clue how many I have.

@MTC:I used to have this really great stone winged gargoyle,it was about 2 foot high.Heavy sucker too.I saved up for so long to buy it.
It sat on my front steps and protected my house for 2 years before some lil college dicks stole it.I hope it brought them curses!
Now that I live two doors from a state trooper,I'm buying a Emmet gargoyle from Tuscano(sp?)
They just recently have started casting them large.yeaaa.
Anyways,back on topic
I collect horror comics(all genres)
(I am 5 issues shy of a complete pristine set of Sandman)
....and Boyds Bears.
My husband bought one for me when I was in the hospital thinking we might be losing our first full term baby...so,I grew attached and started buying them for special occasions.

I collect DVDs and CDs, naturally, but my true passion for collecting lies with comics. I sort of inherited my dad's collection when I was little, and just built off of it from there. I have in excess of 500 titles, plus trade paperbacks, with some valuable stuff in there. Not that I'd ever sell in any of it (unless I was in really desperate straits) but it's nice to know that my collection is worth something.

I have like 10 of my old toothbrushes still around. I'd trade one but I don't want to break up the set. I might sell them on ebay for big bucks.

You know they can trace dead bodies with DNA from toothbrushes even after YEARS of them lying around.
Hidden somewhere secret.
Possibly in baggies.
