Oh, the good ol' days!

Possibly the best ever headsculpt in a 1/6th scale figure and the latest addition to my ever growing collection.

Foxy Brown came through the post today

Just ordered from Zavvi.

Currently £6.99 or part of Two for £12.

Some cheap odds n' sods to boost the non-cult movie pile.

I only collect DVDs, just started going for the DPP's so my latest have only been stuff like Cannibal Terror, Axe, Driller Killer, DLITB, Evil Dead, Pranks etc

I picked up Pacific Rim, Blade/2, Cronus for my Del Toro filmography.

Randomly bought Night Watch and the Natural Born Killers directors cut from charity shop this morning. Waiting on about 8-9 others to be delivered!

Picked up GRAVITY and INTERSTELLAR, both on the HD format.

Deliveries

wish there was a uk release of dr giggles, fun film

What? No masterpiece that is the fourth installment? (I jest of course!)

It's not complete with Omen IV and the Remake

:critter:

The fourth instalment and remake are pointless, so it's perhaps best just to stick to the trilogy. I actually quite like the first and second sequels, particularly the second one with Sam Neill.

I'll still get the set at that price

I'm tempted, but I already have The Omen on DVD and the whole set on DVD – I don't feel the need to upgrade the sequels or even own the remake!

I guess my feelings are the same about the Psycho films, with the first being brilliant (Psycho is much better than The Omen though), the sequels being watchable, but a sizeable step down in quality and, the less said about the (shot for shot) remake, the better.

Car booting this morning. Bought a big box of DVDs for £3.00
Nothing I especially wanted so traded them into cex for....

Only reason to watch the remake of the omen is the brief cameo from Giovanni lombardo Radice (aka John Morgahen) near the beginning. I retained the DVD set for completions sake but upgraded the first 3 to BR. The upgrade in PQ is definitely worth it.

Like I said, it's something I'll consider when I'm feeling flush but, as I'm not at the moment, I can't really justify 'luxury' purchases (double dips or upgrades).

omen
 

I have my dvd box set signed by David Warner so hanging on to it:turtle:

The score for the Sam Neill one I love. Got it, and the score to the second one on good old vinyl from a movie fair in Manchester back in the early ninties!

I got the Shout Factory release. Always loved this film.Can't say I had a problem with the tone of the commentary - It's not exacly Oscar winning stuff is it just good fun :)

What a total waste of time and money that commentary was - either was not interested or couldn't remember anything - should have said no and given someone else a chance. :confused:

The trilogy is a blind buy for me.

:shocked: You've not seen The Omen films?

Wow! I thought they were a staple of horror cinema that everyone had seen...and for the most part really liked.

Today's Carboot Haul

The Incredible Melting Man (DVD-R)
Fear Dot Com
DeathWatch
Pans Labyrinth (for my Del Toro filmography)
Evil Dead Uncut (Anchor Bay UK)
Zombie Flesh Eaters

I know a few of you advised me against the Vipco releases but they were 50p each so I figured why not pick them up for now!


EDIT: Sanctum/Fear Dot Com were from a charity table. I have no idea how good/bad they are!

No not yet Dem. Its only relatively recently i first saw The Exorcist too.
I like the way to put it, 'staples of horror cinema' Dem. While we're on it what else would you consider to be 'staples of horror cinema'?? Or anyone else for that matter.

I called them that possibly as an age thing. When i was growing up as a kid in the eighties films such as The Omen seemed to be on tv every other week and became part of my introduction to horror along with Hammer films and others such as The Fog.

The Exorcist not really, as that was never on tv and only came back into the UK film world relatively recently, see A Clockwork Orange as another example of what i mean.

I was born in 78 so didn't really get into horror until the early 90's. Even then while i was aware of The Omen its not a film i remember being on tv much. My parents were funny about what i was allowed to record and watch as well so i guess its just another one that slipt under the radar. In recent years I've recorded it from tcm and film4 a number of times but wife has always deleted it before I've watched it. She was obsessed with not having enough storage on the sky box thingy.

I typed up a list given in a Empire Magazine supplement, which is a really good 'beginner's guide', and which stood me in good stead when I was a fledgeling genre fan.

Which House of Wax and Pit and the Pendulum are being referred to Nos?

House of Wax (1953)
Pit and the Pendulum (1961)

I've just edited the blog entry to include those dates.

staple diet
 

I am in my thirties. saw Exorcist on pirate video (yaaaaaaaargh) a few years before it came out on video in nineties?? Did'nt see chainsaw or orange till they were re-released on video, seems a ridiculous situation now them been unavailable for so long:wise:

Same for me, apart from my first viewing of the Exorcist being on its cinema re-release in 1999, and by that time I'd read the book many times

That makes them the Vincent Price films then. I've seen most of the films on that list.

horror
 

i have that mag very good. I'd reccomend Rue Morgue magazine's 200 alternative horror films you need to see. :wise:

I keep meaning to pick up that four pack purely for The Crush. It's no longer available here and the stand alone R1 disc goes for silly money.

The only film I've seen in that pack is Pacific heights,

All arrived today, but one of the mics, that was listed as brand new is ****ed, so I'm just a bit pissed off right now!

Anguish! The Lift! Cough! Haul! ;)
