I Buy.. I am a serious horror collector.. Meaning, I want to own every horror movie ever made.. I have never downloaded a movie, the reason is because I like to own the case , have the booklet, etc... I dont care if a horror movie sucks or not "If I have the money at the time, I will buy it"

I also rent sometimes, I have a small collection of recorded videos.. I occasionally tape trade so I have gotten a good collection of uncut movies ... I have this thing for 70`s Italian horror so therefore if I find out it is Italian I instantly WANT it.. But when it comes down to deciding and if I only have 40 bucks I usually pick out the movie that I think I will like..

the other day I was at suncoast and I only had 60 bucks.. I wanted about 6 movies.. They had a sale so that meant I could get atleast four of them. I am really into Italian horror and Zombie films so I chose 4 of that type of film.. okay I will shut up now LOL

oh and YES cable is so damn better, my g/f has cable .. I so dont miss dial-up
:D

I buy if I've seen it before and loved it, or if Ive seen it before and its on sale. I'll also buy something 'blind' if its a classic. Like I bought Dawn of the Dead before ever seeing it.

I rent a LOT more than I buy though.

Thanks for the replies everyone. It seems everyone has a slightly different take on how they acquire their horror.

If I were able I would definately download movies to try them out. I usually do not rent a movie if I know of one that I would rather buy. I can't really afford to buy everything I want, so there is always something on the shelf I want. So, sometimes I feel like if I rent this movie here then I'm wasting money I could put toward a different one that I know I want to purchase.

The only rental store left in my area is Blockbuster, and there selection sucks...I have some friends, (believe it or not) and we trade some of the campy movies back and forth so we don't have to all buy them.
