Recent Purchases

Its been quiet in here recently so I just thought i'd try inject some life into the old beast.

Whats the latest horror movie winging its way to you at the moment ?

I told myself at christmas that I wouldnt buy any new DVD's until I watched the backlog I have at home first. I broke that last week and gave the poor credit card a battering. So with thanks to Bargain alerts on boards somewhere on the way to me is -

Aliens Quadrology
Omen Pentology
Plant of The Apes Collection (arguably not horror I guess)
The Vengance Trilogy
Special Dead
Gingerdead Man
Ice Cream Man
Satans Little Helper

Anyone else care to share and help me ease my mind that i'm not the only one with a slight addiction ?

Otis Driftwood

Ha ha ha.You arent the only only one that has a slightly worrying addiction to buying horror.

My most recent purchases have been.


Alien Quadrilogy(gotta love HMV sales )
Alien Contamination.
The Mondo Cane 8 disc limited edition boxset from Blue Underground.
Men Behind The Sun 4 disc limited edition boxset.

Alien Quadrilogy everyone knows about.

Alien Contamination is a fun little alien splatter movie from the early 80s.
Cheesy as hell but there is some pretty damn good SFX in it.I can only imagine it being remade nowadays.Crap CGI a go-go.

Mondo Cane set
Am waiting on this to be delivered and its not a horror series though they are horrific.There are very few movies that can lay claim to the fact that they spawned and named an entire genre but Mondo Cane and its sequels can.The movies were a massive influence from Cannibal Holocaust to Faces of Death to modern day reality TV,without M.C. arguably none of these would be in existence.Cant wait to see em.

Men Behind The Sun boxset
Based on Japans notorious Unit 731 these movies document human suffering and the lenghts the Japanese went to for the good of the empire.Tough to watch in places especially because there is real footage interspersed with the filmed stuff.Gory and nasty but no true horror afficinado should be without em.

You have no problem my friend. I am always looking and always buying. In fact people buy for me such is my insatiable demand for decent product.

Most recent purchase has been, "Prophecy", Directed by John Frankenheimer and the Amityville remake. zzzzzzzzzzzz.

Gingerdead Man

I hope you preordered your copy of Gingerbread Man 2: Passion of the Crust.

I have'nt really picked up any horror films the past wee, though I did get the Eye 2 and Vampires: Los Muertos today. Have to get my hands on the Eye Infinity and Vampires: The Turning to complete my collections of both.

c - 13

Have been looking into it alright, with a title like that you'd have to buy it, havent seen anywhere taking preorders yet though

EDIT: Poster Lulz

Oh and i'm now blaming nedtheshed because i've bought a copy of the Men Behind the Sun boxset thanks to his short review there ...

TerrorFirmer

Oh man, Gingerdead man....have to find that.

Satan's little helper is a strange movie....

Sadly I do not purchase movies at all anymore, relying solely on rental and such.

Is Alien Contamination that one that has some of the same cast that were in a lot of those 70's Italian zombie films? Always meant to watch that, but could never find it....comes highly recommended as a bit of mindless gorefest.

Is the Masters of Horror Episode about the Ice Cream man based on that movie - premise sounds almost the same, as does the tagline...

Thats the one alright.Its readily available on ebay for about 7 or 8 euro incl delivery.
Its very cheesey but the special effects are very splattery and look pretty cool considering its almost 30 years old.
Highly recommended if you cna pick it up cheaply.

I've actually been fairly restrained lately, the last dvd I bought was 30 Days of Night last week. Before that I got the second half of Season 1 Masters of Horror (not as good as the first half).

I got the Alien Quadrilogy as well, went halves with my brother for this one

Otis Driftwood

^^^^^^

Ive been flirting on and off with that set for about 6 months now but I was sensible for a change cos its just so damn expensive and theres so much other stuff i could get for the same price.

Nice buy Necro.

Thanks, and sense went absolutely out the window with that one

Also, I don't have a clue how I forgot to add in my post, but my brother and sister got me the Predator head for my birthday so there's a nice rivalry going on in my room

Otis Driftwood

Picture?

Necronomicon

I sure do, I had the two of them posing for ages when I got the Pred-head :pac:

Hmmm, can't seem to post pictures on this forum, here are the links though:

Horrormovies.com. Just sent them another email just there now. Disappointedly by them to say the least. Which is a shame, they have a great selection.

Otis Driftwood

Thats a shame.Here are a couple of sites Ive used and never had any problems with.Obviously depends on what you are after as most of these have the harder to find horror stuff.All recommended though.

http://www.unearthedfilms.com/

http://www.synapse-films.com/

http://xploitedcinema.com/catalog/index.php

http://www.chainsawvideo.nl/

Of course ebay is always good,same as cdwow who incidently have a big sale on Troma movies at the moment.Stuff like Terrorfirmer and Luther the Geek are available for €5 each.

Otis Driftwood

Friday the 13th - From Crystal Lake to Manhattan 8 disc boxset (FYI available in HMV from today for 35 quid)
Silence of the Lambs 2 disc Ultimate edition.(available in Golden Discs in Grafton Street shopping centre for 8 quid.It has really cool packaging,great extras and there are 6 postcards with recipes using fava beans and other stuff from the movie.Geek heaven!)

c - 13

I've been eyeing up the Friday the 13th set with a while myself. Is that the complete collection there or is it missing one or two of the later ones ?

I've been holding off on the purchases for the moment. No point buying when I cant watch them, anything I buy online I send home and they cost a fortune to buy over here

Its getting hard though coming up to halloween, most places sell off the B-Movies pretty cheaply, nice to flesh out the collection.

Otis Driftwood

The set is missing part 9,Jason goes to Hell,Jason X and Freddy Vs Jason.
All of those are readily available on ebay for 5 or 6 quid though.

Bought C.H.U.D (cannibalistic humanoid underground dwellers)the other day.I remember seeing it in the video shop as a tike and been mad to watch it but alas my folks were having none of it.Gonna watch it sometime this week.

Funny enough watched the two of those earlier this year. The first and second films have completely different content. The first is a creature flick the second zombies (second one is better though IMHO)
