I have been spending more money than I really should have, so these are my recent arrivals from Powerhouse Films (in the 3 for £15 offer), Amazon (Scream and Scream Again), and eBay (Ocean's 8).

The latter was only £3.25, so I thought it was worth it as a blind buy.

Of all the Indicator films, the only ones I've seen are the Norman J Warren ones, Sweet Charity (a superb musical romantic comedy), and The Camp on Blood Island (a tough but rewarding watch, and a surprise that I didn't already own it).

I am surprised and a little ashamed that I haven't seen either of the John Carpenter films, though that will be rectified in due course.

@ Nosferatu - I really enjoyed Oceans 8. Thought it was a refreshing change.

Not saying it's a great film or anything but i liked it.

Sent off for a bunch of Vincent Price movies. I've seen a couple of his (Last Man on Earth and Theatre of Blood, both of which I liked) but I feel I am far too unfamiliar with most of his when compared to the likes of Cushing and Lee.

Did you go for the Arrow Six Gothic Tales collection?

I highly recommend the StudioCanal Blu-ray of Masque of the Red Death. It's a really good package and to put it bluntly the picture quality is f*cking gorgeous.

The Oblong Box and the Aussie version of The Vincent Price Collection which has nine movies in it including Witchfinder General, Masque of the Red Death and House of Usher, among others.

I didn't think much Ocean's 12 or Ocean's 13 – the former really became silly when Tess Ocean (Julia Roberts) pretended to be Julia Roberts without any of the other characters saying "Wow, that's Julia Roberts! Danny Ocean is a dead ringer for George Clooney, Rusty looks just like Brad Pitt, and isn't that Don Cheadle with an unconvincing English accent?"

I'm going to watch Ocean's 8 without any preconceptions and hope it's as enjoyable as the first.
