need help deciding (please)

i'm going through somewhat of a nostalgia stage right now and still can't decide between two seperate film collections. i can't make up my mind whether to purchase the chucky collection or the friday the 13 th collection. most people i ask don't seem to lean more towards one than the other so i figured who better to ask.

also i've been looking for a compiled set of halloween and the howling if anyone knows where i might look a point in the right direction would be greatly appreciated!

hmmmm......

save your money - the Phantasm box set is coming out soon.

i think bootleg versions of the Halloween set are occasionally sold on ebay - dont know about the Howling though ..

those movies get pretty bad as they go ..

they started off okay but did get shittier more into the series
still the familiarity of something one grew up on creates a longing besided most horror flicks these days aren't much better although there is the rare exception from time to time.

If i was to choose between those two, i would go with Friday the 13th.

The Chucky movies never scared me at all. I figure anything i can kill with a tennis racket can't be too scary.




hmmmmm....where did i hear that before?

Depends if you like quality over quantity. IMO, the 2 first Child Play's are memorable and the others aren't really good. Why not buy those 2 (or whichever you like) then get the Friday the 13th box set and build on from there on both collections? that's what I did since both box sets do not include all movies.

I think the only Child's Play box set available covers movies 2-4.

What's this now?? PHANTASM box set? Where'd you hear about this? Who's putting it out? How much will it cost? What's it gonna have? PHANTASM box set??? Did I hear that correctly?

I don't really have any interest in the PHANTASM box set, I'm just sort of casually curious.
