In a second hand record shop nearby I bought Lugosi's "White Zombie" (£1) and "Batman: The Mystery of the Batwoman" (£2).

From the British Heart Foundation Shop I escaped with "The Devil's Backbone" for £1.99.

When you top that list off with a couple of Farside books for £4 it has been a jolly good day!

Love 'Dr Terror", like 'White Zombie', 'The Devil's Backbone' is a good film too.
'Manimal' that was practically stealing u lucky dog you!!!, wanted to pick this up when it came out but seemed pretty expensive. I liked it a lot when i was a kid but also thought it may not have aged well by modern standards, you'll have to tell us your opinion once you've revisited it.

i'm a fan of Farside too, very surreal and intelligent but also very funny.
A good haul u got there mate.

Salvation Army Charity Shop, Rob, and yes it was the only one. To tell the truth if there had been any more DVDs that I wanted in there I would have still been there at midnight tonight with the two old dears serving me. They were hilarious but very slow and fumbling! (No they weren't fumbling me , I don't know the perverts they let on this forum nowadays, sheesh)!

Thought I got a good deal with burn notice, but manimal was a steal. Really need to pick it and automan up at some point if I can get them cheap.

I did mange to get tales of the golden monkey last year from a charity shop for £4!

Is that Postman flick a sequel to Kevin Costner's atrocity by any chance?

Quite like Prince of Darkness although a lot of people don't rate it much.

I'd almost forgotten those two. Man I used to watch some real weird stuff!
