I was sure you'd already own the Ghost Stories set B_E.

Try and hold off watching them for another few weeks, especially the Christopher Lee series. You really need a glass of sherry and a Christmas tree twinkling to get you in the beautiful mood those stories create. :nod:

Funnily enough Family Guy series 8 fell through my letterbox today. :pop2:

Got the first two volumes a few months ago. Networks 'The British Film' label looks quite interesting, seems to have a good collection of both popular and unknown films and seem pretty cheap to boot! Would have bought a few more from Fopp but got dragged around Manchesters Christmas markets spending a fortune on German sausages, speciality cheeses and strange cordials! T'was a good day though! :nod:

I was going to buy the 6 disc set a couple of years ago as it was going pretty cheap but then they released the 7 disc set as I was procrastinating on it. I finally decided to pull the trigger on it based on the price drop.

I've seen the stories before, and will indeed be waiting nearer to Christmas to revisit them - I'm very much looking forward to it.

Perhaps you'll be able to explain The Signalman to me. :confused:

I've seen it four or five times and i just don't get it. :frusty:

I do like it though.

I think the mystery is all part of charm! ;)

Not everyone's go to story, but Lost Hearts is one of my favourites.

After your recommend Dem of the Ghost Stories, and it having Mr Lee in it, I though I would check one out on youtube. I watched View from a Hill, very slow, but built up nicely to the most bizzare ending? I hate not getting endings but this babey has me stumped! Any clues mate?

In this case you should buy it and read the booklets. :tongue1:

Sounds like you don't get it either. ;)

Lost Hearts is excellent.

Are you saying to understand certain episodes you have to read the booklet that comes with it? If so, how did the original viewers get it? I might just dip into this then as I am intrigued myself. :nod:

Arrived today, been after It came from beneath the sea stand alone blu for a while now :dance:

Unfortunately classic ghost stories and their film and tv equivalents such as those by Dickens and James are often unexplained and ambiguous, rather than nailing the viewer in the head with crashing music and headache inducing editing.

All the better for it in my opinion. :nod:

Need to pick up that box myself, been meaning to for the last couple of years :nod:

Totally agree, I like my mind stretched but this just lost me at the end, the missus gave up 20 mins in, but I percevered and it got really dark and broody and just when I thought I had handle on procedings, wham, WTF? right in the last 5 seconds! I was thinking, whilst watching it, the Americans can not do ghost stories like us, and the BBC especially.

Still peed I dont get it though:confused::lol:

Actually, I've just checked my DVD collection and I don't own Groundhog Day, High Plains Drifter or The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance only the one double dip.

My local 99p store had a few horrors in today such as Deadtime, Mindflesh, Axe and The Unforgiving.

I picked up just the one, Someone's Knocking at the Door, which tempted me with it's claim to be a throwback to 70's grindhouse but I may go back for more!

Mindflesh is excellent Sam. I really recommend you go back and get it.

Here's my review of it and Frankie's reply.

Its a sort of a reversal of the traditional idea of a ghost story. The signalman is haunted by premonitions of things to come.

This weeks deliveries including Drum, What the Peeper Saw, Krull, Maleficent, Demons, Giallo, Say Hello to Yesterday, Universal Soldier Day of Reckoning and The Slave.

Purchases from Cash Generators include some cheap blu-rays of Divergent, 47 Ronin and Amazing Spiderman 1 & 2 (£2.49!!) and some 60p dvds.

Had to import as the UK Blu-ray is inexplicably cropped to 1.78:1.

That Day the earth caught fire set looks very nice mate! :clap:

I picked up the Reservoir Dogs petrol can release. I already had the standard release but the tin had some sort of gravitational pull on me. Looks really smart.

I also found a copy of Michael Winner's The Sentinel in a charity shop, only £2, I haven't seen it for years.

I also snagged 88 Films The Toxic Avenger and The ABCs Of Death.

Mine too.

Caught The Machine on Netflix SJ, thought it was fantastic. Works well on the budget it had and had some genuine moments of atmosphere with some great action/:pop2: acting. One of those films that took me by suprise, was nt expecting much.

Arrived today, quicker than I thought from Diabolik. Never purchased from them before so thanks to all on here that pointed me there.;)

Thanks for the tip, picked it up today :). Whilst I was there, I also picked up Ghost Shark on blu ray. Probably a load of rubbish but it was 99p, it was a blu ray and it had a shiny lenticular sleeve!!

High Plains Drifter great film :clap:

Glad you mentioned that K. I'd forgotten to transfer money into my online account to pay for it.

I had a dispatch confirmation e-mail about that today as well.

I had a pretty terrible week last week so I decided to treat myself. The Carlotta US releases come in very attractive black cases.

Surely not only for the kids? They are both brilliantly animated, anarchically funny and extremely entertaining.
