My mom said if I order a film for her off deepdiscount, I get one that she'll pay for. What horror film should I get? I can't think clearly about it for some reason. Any thing you guys know i'll like...

the better question is, what is your mom gonna get..

Well.... What ones do you already have? I guess that'd be my first question.

I'd say Texas Chainsaw Massacre (original) and if you already have it, then Dawn of the Dead (original) and if you already have it, then Battle Royale.

My mom is getting Shane for my grandma, but I decided to get Dog Soldiers, so i'll be closer to having all of my top 10. Good choice I think.

Just in addition to Bwind's suggestions, if you get Dawn of the Dead make sure you get the ultimate edition.


Heh, I almost suggested Dog Soliders but from your top 10 assumed you had it. DOH

When you buy Aliens, be sure to get the special edition...it includes alot of extra scenes that Jim Cameron originally wanted in the movie, but he was forced to cut out (due to its already lengthy runtime). The extra scenes add alot to an already fabulous movie. You learn a bit more about Ripley's past, the daughter she left behind, Newt's history, etc...

What about Alien 3? I really just want the regular one because it has that amazing cover.

I own Alien, Aliens, and Alien³ all with the extended director's cut versions. Not sure you will like the cover art as much, but the added material really makes the films even better (especially the 2nd and 3rd films).

By the way, what is the cover on the 3rd film you like?

The collecters cover is pathetic looking :rolleyes:

The thing is, I wish the 3rd was just like that, only just saying Alien (cubed) and the picture, with a pitch black background.

I had a similar situation when I bought the descent. I wanted the unrated, widescreen version rather than the theatrical release, but the theatrical release has a bad ass cover:

In the end I bought the unrated version and had to settle for this:

What about it?? It was a mediocre sequel to a pretty good sequel to a classic. It's cover art is pretty cool.

Take a real good look at the" Death's Head Moth"on the cover of "Silence of the Lambs.";)

The thing that's mediocre is the Alien. It moves so... monkey/wolf like. Stupid. Great kills in the infirmary at that one scene.

Well I'll be damned! I just slipped the DVD out of my shelf to take a peak, and what do you know...there's more to the moth than meets the eye! I had never noticed that.

I do apologize Paws. That's pretty cool.
