Mainstream Horror Movie That is Least Owned
 
The thread about which horror movie was the most owned among horror movie collectors got me thinking, which mainstream horror movie do you think is owned the *least* by horror movie fans? It doesn't necessarily mean that the film is bad, just the least owned. What do you think?

I think that'd be much too difficult to figure out. :)

That slasher ' house of cards', I think was unseen for years, so d doubt many owned it. Alos the comedian jerry lewis supposedly made a film in which he played a killer clown. So if it is not urban legend, I imagine very few people would own a copy. BTW the Lewis killer clown movie is quite an interesting story/fable/ legend

I'm not sure those are really mainstream though...lol.

The original Frankenstein (You know the one from universal during the thirties) I feel like it's one of those horror movies where everyone has seen it or knows about it, but not many own it

Agreed, that is a good choice. In my opinion, many people do not actually own many of the Universal classics, but that is just my own perception.

tough one, maybe none. Maybe Ghostbusters, Young Frankenstein, Ghost (swayze), Alien, The Thing 82, Terminator, Aliens... I think there's some wide non-horror interest in them.

More in the main horror realm -- maybe Jaws, King King, The Shining, Silence of the lambs, Rosemarys Baby & The Omen. Cause many nonhorror fans own them, and maybe mainstream horror fans arent equally interested in rewatching or owning them.

I not only have the original Universal Frankenstein, but I have the complete collection. As well as for the Wolfman too naturally. You make a valid point though. Until last year I haven't seen a good collection of them to even acquire to own unless you record off the tv. There was a release back when Van Helsing was whoring itself up, but the special features and bonus movies are crap compared to what's available now.

I own a lot of those titles. Who wouldn't want to rewatch Ghostbusters, SotL, Jaws, Ghost, Alien, etc. Those are CLASSICS. 8)
