Indubitably. I got Night of the Living Dead and House on Haunted Hill at a dollar store for (gasp) a dollar. The lads at Brentwood Communications have a large variety of old horror classics for a buck. At another dollar store I found Carnival of Souls. The dollar bin is in the next few years going to be a serious force for cultural change. Any curious kid at the mall with a couple bucks to burn can see Nosferatu or the Cabinet of Doctor Caligari now. One of the downsides to DVD is that a lot of classic cinema is rendered quite costly. The upside is a lot of it is rendered quite cheap. The Legacy box sets are a value of similar magnitude, though not quite as dramatic. There isn't anybody who should consider themselves beneath checking a dollar bin for some lost cult classic. I found Santa Claus Conquers the Martians once, and another time Christopher Lee in Horror Hotel and Terror in the Crypt. Anybody just building their collection should try gambling the dollar on some unknown gem. What else are you gonna do with it?
