Fat Freddy wrote:

Picked up this Horror film collection @ Shop Rite this morning... 6 movies for $6.50. Hell ya! Just in time for my annual Halloween Schlock-Tober hootenanny!



The movies (on 3 double sided DVDs) are:

"Dolls"
"Pumpkinhead"
"Scarecrows"
"Sometimes They Come Back"
"Invasion of the Body Snatchers" (1978 remake)
"Raw Meat" (1973)

Seen a couple of these before but some will be new to me. Looks like gooooood watchin'.

Pumpkinhead and Raw Meat are the picks of that collection IMO.

Never seen "Raw Meat" but I've seen "Pumpkinhead" and "Scarecrows" in the past and both are good cheesy fun.

Picked it up mainly for "Dolls" cuz I love Stuart Gordon's old school stop-motion special effects.

Raw Meat is great, but I've seen that film confuse several people, it's a British film and is definitely not your stock "cheesy" flick. It's equal parts grim and humorous.

It's got Donald Pleasance so it's worth seeing just for that reason.

Read up on "Raw Meat" on Wikipedia, sounds like my kinda flick. Donald Pleasance's participation is a plus. It sounds very similar to a movie I saw a few years ago called "Creep," which also concerned cannibals/monsters in the London Underground.

Just ordered "Source Code" for around $5 ppd.

From the director of Tokyo Gore Police and starring the lead actress from TGP and Audition:

On blu:

The Mask of Zorro
The A Team
The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian

From Hastings buy one get one for a buck sale

Better Off Dead on blu-ray
Exit Humanity on dvd

Thrift store pickup for 50 cents:


Gina Gershon (hot) and Drea DeMatteo (hot) as members of a struggling all-girl rock band. Heard good things about this one, was surprised to find it on the shelf of my rinky-dink local thrift store!

From the $5 bin at Wal-Mart:

I love Gina but back when she had that IFC show which followed her around as she did her music tour every time they would have her sing it gave me a headache. I didn't think she was awful or anything just the sound of it had a funny way of piercing my head.


From secondspin and came new/sealed

Tucker & Dale Vs. Evil Blu-ray

A blind buy based off the awesome trailer. I love my horror with a ton of wackiness thrown in. Should be right up my alley based on everything I've read.

Tucker and Dale is pretty funny. It turns the inbred, redneck serial killer genre on its ear.

Last week from Wal Mart:



No image I can find, but I also nabbed a DVD collection of 3 episodes of The Carol Burnett Show. Though this show desperatly needs a real DVD release, this will have to do. Luckily it was only about $10.

^^^^completely agree with the Carol Burnett Show^^^^

I would pay whatever they were asking for a complete set.


Scarface Steelbook on blu-ray
Breakfast Club blu-ray

Picked up some stuff from the horror convention over the weekend:

-I Am Nancy DVD, signed by Heather Langenkamp

-Stuck! DVd, signed by Mink Stole

-Multiple Maniacs

-Mondo Trasho

-Drive-In Horrorshow DVD (indie anthology a la Creepshow that looks really good...also bought the soundtrack LP, and it came with a comic book). Seemed like nice dudes.

I have fond memories of watching The Carol Burnett Show in the 70s with my Grandmother and Grandfather.

Me too. That's why I sat and watched a whole infomercial at 10:30 at night.
