what was the first horror dvd you ever bought.
 
I bought (THE FRIGHTENERS) at Hastings Jan.2000.

I'm not sure when I bought it, but the first horror DVD I bought was The Shining (1980).

AUSTIN316426808 09-10-2006 08:04 AM

-Silence of the Lambs
-Halloween 4
-Play Misty For Me
-The Exorcist 3


Bought 'em all the same day.

Im not 100% sure, but Im pretty sure the first horror DVD I bought was a cheap little public domain boxset with:

- Teenage Zombies
- Horror Express
- The Blob '58

Im still very happy to have them, very cool movies (Esp. The Blob and Horror Express)

Holy crap, I can't really remember.....I guess it could be Troll and Troll 2, but I'm not sure.

crabapple 09-10-2006 09:26 AM

I don't remember!!!!!!!!!!

But I can tell you the first movie I ever bought, and it was MONSTER THAT CHALLENGED THE WORLD on Super-8 around 1977. 50 feet silent black and white.

stygianwitch 09-10-2006 11:25 AM

Can't really remember but quite probably Alien

The Mothman 09-10-2006 11:32 AM

The Evil Dead. pretty much turned me on to the horror genre all by itself

F13Halloween 09-10-2006 11:47 AM

I don't have much horror movies, but the first one I got was when my dad ordered it out of a DVD Club catalog. It was Fargo. I still haven't watched it.

halloweenfreak1 09-10-2006 12:12 PM

I bought the original halloween ( at least im pretty sure i did).

Roderick Usher 09-10-2006 12:59 PM

I'm pretty sure it was An American Werewolf in London, but could have been Evil Dead 2.

That was like the 4th thing I bought on DVD. First one was Return of the Living Dead, one of my favorite movies ever. 2nd and 3rd places go to Poltergeist and THIR13EN GHOSTS.

i think it was Blood Feast and 2000 Maniacs - at the same time ... on beta.

there were more too ... a guy i knew with a video store was going bankrupt so he told his best customers to come but and grab whatever they wanted for $10 each ..

(this is when they were selling new for almost $100 !!

I started my collection that day with about 20 titles.
still have them too.

I really don't remember :confused:

I saw some ads for the super 8 flicks in a Famous Monsters I was reading last night. Does anyone still have one these in working order? I remember them as a kid at school before they switched to video in the 80s.
