HORROR MOVIES

Maniac is a definite milestone in American horror cinema and unlike a lot of 80's slasher films, it's aged pretty well. I recently watched The Prowler and ya know, despite all the hype, it left me pretty unimpressed. On the other hand Henry: Portrait Of A Serial Killer is fucking amazing.
Nice fuckin' score on the tape there Keeg. I'm finding that there's a bit of a resurgance among horror collectors for VHS tapes (especially the oversized display boxes.) You'll probably get a kick (and perhaps find it useful) out of this site: http://critcononline.com/video_companies_cover_art.htm
Ya gotta love the gawd fuckin' awful cover for American Video's release of Shock Waves

Cool link man, thanks! "Home Sweet Home" I just scored that on VHS, what a shitfest.

Personally, I favour the oversized boxes...For some reason I call them "scummy boxes"...They take up alot of space but like a vinyl LP, they are fun too look at. I have approx. 50 of them now I believe.
Ask Tery from the Argentos, Grant, when he stayed over he was having a blast going threw my horror collection and he saw only a fraction of it.

I have The Prowler on DVD and paid quite a bit for it and was terribly let down.....Defintally overrated, I agree. Henry on the other hand is a twisted slasher flick, defintally killer!

I watched one hell of a cheeze fest last night:

In case you ever have to deal with some unscrupulous dealer, those boxes are referred to as "display boxes". If you ever end up dealing with a vendor over the net always ask, is it a studio box, display box or a clamshell. If they don't know the differance that's a good indicator that you'll need to ask a lotta questions.

Cool! Thanx for the infos brother!

Hey, theres this great store in Toronto called "Sonic Boom" that specializes in used movies/music, they have a huge wall rammed full of used vhs tapes at around $3-$4 per movie, its fukkin killer! Lots of used DVD's as well for cheap. You'd have a blast there man, its like a fukkin warehouse it's so big, its crazy man!

Keeg, I have to see your vhs colelction one day. We should consider a trade or two. I have BLoODY BIRTHDAY in mint condition up for grabs - awesome, gory movie about three kids that were born during an eclipse and when they turn 10, it gets real bloody haha

Has anyone heard of these priceless gems:
MICROWAVE MASSACRE
EDGE OF AN AXE (EDGE OF THE AXE???)
SUMMER CAMP MASSACRE (CAMPING DEL TERRORE)
THE VIDEO DEAD (I used to have a copy)

and, most importantly,

BOOGEYMAN part 2 (1980, directed by Ulli Lommel). Why oh why did I sell that tape to a used cd shop? I have part 1 on dvd, if you like "scissors in the neck" type gore, you'll all dig it



@Rusty - that's a great site you recomemnded man, thanks

LOL at the Shockwaves cover, haha I could have done a better job..what was wrong with the original box art?

I have a extra copy of this on VHS mint for trade, and some DVD's as well...I should sit down tonight and make a complete tradelist of what I have for you guys to check out.

I will definitely trade it for Nosferatos and Redrugon, no prob..I'll save it for ya, keep me posted on your whereabouts etc

Yeah, MICORWAVE MASSACRE came in a huge "porno" box haha, and it depicted a deranged guy with a butcher knife (reminded me of the Mad Butcher) - I'm sure this movie is impossible to track down these days but I saw it once at Sam's of all places, can you believe it?

OK Great man! We have a trade then, thanks! I'll keep you posted!

Man, I miss the old selection that Sam's had....Back in the day they sure did have quite a few oddball horror titles. The last movie I remember ever buying from Sam's was "The Ice Cream Man" on VHS for like $20....This was around 2001 or so .

I have the Midnight Video release of Microwave Massacre. No case though. Rhino video rereleased it sometime later. There is a DVD release of it through Anthem Pictures, but to be honest though, its a pretty bad movie.

Yeah, I'm sure it's bad...I am surprised it's available though. What's the synopsis? Some dude hacks people up then cooks them?

What did you think of this movie?

I wasn't too sure of it, but I have only watched it once and was drunk when I did so.

Basically. It has a lot of "comedic" moments that are not even remotely funny.

I'm going to rewatch Outpost tonight. I am going out this weekend with the intention of shopping for a few more DVDs. Maniac is first on my list.

Gonna watch this flick tonight...Found it for $2 at the thrift store so I figured, what the hell, I'll give it a shot.

$2? I would say that movie is worth $2. I'm going out in a bit to see what I can find. Hopefully some good deals on some decent horror flicks.
