Blockbuster is having a blowout on VHS's, and I've been going crazy over the past few weeks.

I've been doing the same myself. Great films for $1 or less.... can't go wrong. Kinda reminds me of when vinyl was being phased out. Some of these gems are gonna go for a bundle in years to come I shit you not!

I'm glad to hear that somebody else on this site has been going crazy in teh VHS section. A lot of people nowadays keep telling me that I shouldn't get VHS's anymore because they suck and don't have any special features, and that I should switch to DVD. Well, I've had a DVD player for about three years now and am hopefully getting a portable one this X-Mas. But, I still have a love for the VHS because they're so cheap and in about 20 years, they'll be collectibles (though I'll only sell the crappy ones). All I want is the movie itself anyway. So, it doesn't really matter as to which one I get in my opinion.

Yeh for sure man. The best version of a lot of horror films is on VHS. Special features are kinda unessesary a lot of the time.

But the quality is so fuckin' sloppy. Not saying I don't have my fair share of bargain horror VHSs (including an awesome vintage copy of TCM), but I'd much prefer DVD.


Anyway, me and GOODandEVIL666 just each bought a Classic Horror Collection DVD for $5 brand new.

Mine has:

-Carnival of Souls (How is this? I've been wanting to see it for quite some time.)

-Chamber of Horrors

-Last Man on Earth

-White Zombie

His has Dementia 13, The Ape, The Wasp Woman and one more that I can't remember as of now.

DVDs are to slick at times and ruin the aesthetics of a lot of the effects. Some cases the DVDs are better of course but its not always the case.

I just got Beyond Re-Animator on DVD :D
