Not really horror, but I recently picked up the Pink Panther series. Laugh, if you must, but I really like this series. :D

When I was in my teens all of Blake Edwards Panther films as well as S.O.B & 10 used to make me split my sides but now I just don't find them that funny anymore.Perhaps they were shown on tv far too much in the past.Even so the Steven Martin remake was not funny the first time around.I could only manage 10 minutes of it:ack:

I still find A Shot In The Dark to be tremendously funny. Return Of The Pink Panther has its moments too.

The Steve Martin version was absolutely dire.

I ordered The Crazies and Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things aswell, seem's they're both currently out of stock though :( Hopefully they'll get some more in soon. Anyone know how good they are for restocking their titles?

****ing hopeless, Hal. I'm still waiting for Phantom of Death, I'm hoping it'll arrive before 2008 is out...

Regarding THE COLLINGSWOOD STORY, it's a modern classic in my opinion, here's my review:

It's worth 3 quid of anyone's money. A very pleasant surprise indeed.

:mad: Might just cancel my orders then and get them off amazon instead, going for around the same price anyway from some marketplace sellers. Cheers Cloud.

This week I picked up The Cottage and Zombies, Zombies, Zombies (AKA: Strippers VS Zombies from HMV and got the 2 Disc SE of The Descent and Captivity from Morrisons this morning. Only went to pick up some shopping but they were really cheap so couldn't resist, The Descent 2 Discer was only 3 quid. :cool:

cloud, is the camerawork in The Collingswood Story like The Blair Witch Project's? If so then it's a no no for me. Not with my vertigo and balance problems!

I'm still waiting for my copy of Robocop: Collector's Edition or Director's Cut to come from PlayUSA. They're still awaiting for stock.

Cheers Cloud, I've added it to the order (in fact, it's the only one that's actually in stock!!). I remember reading an interesting article in The Darkside when this first came out but pretty much forgot about it until I saw it in the play.com sale. I'll let you know what I think.

I just ordered 'MEET THE FEEBLES'! Horrayy! Can't wait to see this film - heard a lot of good things and LUV that song the fox sings ;)

It's nowhere near as bad in Collingswood Story. It's almost all shown through webcams and so the picture is mostly steady as I recall.

EDIT: no worries Sam. I hope you enjoy it. One of Darkside's writers, Calum Waddell, was Executive Producer on there so that probably explains their positive review :p. In all seriousness though it is a belter of a film.

If anyone hasen't seen The Cottage yet I'd highly recommend it. A horror comedy that's actually really genuinley funny (quite a rare occurance), not to mention extremley gory. It's such a good film, I really enjoyed it. Shearsmith and Serkis are brilliant together aswell.

Got Robot Chicken Season 3 yesterday and so have been checking out the episodes on that. The show is really consistent so this season is as funny as the previous two.

Hello!

I watched 'Meet The Feebles' the other night and I LUV IT! Such a funny film, had much slower lead up to the finale than I was expecting but it didn't really matter! A true masterpiece of cult films!

Now I've ordered 'Nightmare City' (Blue Underground DVD) so cant wait to get my mits on that one! Oh, and also a 'Zombie Flesh Eaters' T-SHIRT" Oh yeah! :D

Ryan Nicholson's Torched.

The first film he directed back in 2004.

Not quite as disturbing as I thought it was going to be, but there is one scene of extreme torture that might have to be cut here.

I wish there would be a decent release of Meet The Feebles on DVD - I've been a fan of it since it was originally released.

Angel, where did you get Torched if you dont mind me asking. I'd really like to see it but haven't been able to find it anywhere.

My boyfriend picked it up from a London film fair last weekend. He's more into these films than I am, I only watch them for censorship reasons.

I don't know if there are any Films fairs where you live but they do tend to stock films that have been banned by the BBFC or would.

Afraid I don't know where else to get the film from.

By the way I have SNUFF 102 to watch next. Supposed to be very extreme.

Going back to Torched, I can't say I actually liked the film. The director is very much on par with Nick Palumbo.

Started a FRIDAY THE 13TH season last night by watching the original....PARTII tonight.....ki ki ki ki ah ah ah ah.....:D

Hal,zoms,zom,zoms, is superb.Dont let its ultra low budget put yah off.Everyone involved is playing it for laughs,and its a hoot from start to finish,especially the "bad ass" pimp. Best enjoyed with an alcoholic tipple or twelve!:D

Thanks Angel. Unfortunatley I dont think theres anywhere like that in Leeds I'd be able to get it from. I'll keep an eye out online though. Although, if like you said the directors on a par with Palumbo I might not be in such a rush to watch it :D

I quite want to see 'Snuff 102' aswell, however, it's apparantly not even in the same league as films like 'August Undergrounds Mordum' and the like (but then again, what is :ack:). I'll be interested to know how it stands up, would you let me know what you think after you watch it Angel, it'd be much appreciated.

You've seen it then :p I asked on another thread if you had or not, figured it'd be right up your street Dude :D Yeah, I watched it a couple of nights ago, really enjoyed it, it was great fun, Laughed my ass off (a few cans of stella probably helped :D)

Ok these aren't exactly horror films but they still are brilliant I think you will all agree :)

Got the EXTENDED LORD OF THE RINGS Boxset (12 disks!!!!!!!) for only £17.99 of play.com - normally £44 or something like that!

BARGAIN!

Oh, and I also ordered series 1 & 2 or THE MUPPET SHOW (the HMV exclusive) - Manamana! I luv the muppets! :P

Doesn't need to be horror to rave about your discs here mate...:)

Trying to cut back on my dvd buying what with xmas on its way,and three kids of my own to buy for,although i did succumb last night on amazon and buy brett pipers shock-o-rama.This film has been up and down in price the past few weeks as often as a whores drawers. But at four pound odd,sod it i had to have it, to go with my other piper aquisistions of late,screaming dead,psyclops and bite me. Yowza!

Also ordered some cheapjack titles the other week,and some have started to arrive in the post. Anyone heard of dark fields(slasher flick) Season of the hunted(deliverance type cannibal flick.) Plasterhead(slasher flick) dead lake(zombie flick) Not expecting much,considering how much i paid for em.;)

You're a glutton for punishment mate....:D

Who else is gonna review these,err...cult classics.:D

True.....:)

Three dvds arrived in the post today from amazon,plasterhead,cross bones and dead clowns.Been after dead clowns for a while,and at only £3.50 couldnt resist.;)

There's a little second dvd store near me and the guys been ringing me every few days because some mystery guy is trading loads of old R1 and import stuff in. I'm picking these discs up for a song.

For £20 I got

black belly of the tarantula
blood splattered bride
don't go into the woods...alone
two evil eyes limited two disc numbered edition
seven blood stained orchids
a couple of mgm drive-in flipper discs
and some more that aren't in my eye line right now

I'm trading hollywood mainstream films in at furious speed to keep up.

My most recent purchases are

Basket Case SWV R1 20th anniversary edition
Henry: Portrait of a serial killer - Optimum (Bought as an upgrade)

Also picked up a few Hardgore dvd's off amazon dirt cheap. Want to try and complete their horror back catalogue now after buying so many at pondland :D

Probably gonna pick up Teeth and Zombie Strippers after work tomorrow aswell. Looking forward to seeing both of them.

Anyone know if BLUE UNDERGROUND are still gonna release POSSESSION?

Good deal mate!

Season Of The Witch

I was disappointed ( and a bit bored ) with this one when I first watched the old Redemption tape years ago. I suppose I approached it with the view that it was an out and out horror flick, which of course it isn't. Found it more enjoyable this time round - something a bit different. The UK release has a good fun interview with leading actress Jan White, as well as an entertaining episode of The Directors with Mr Romero himself.

Disciple Of Death

Oh gawd. Mike Raven leers and sneers at the camera in this turd from 1972. I love 70s UK horror, but I really can't think of anything good to say about this one. Picture quality is bloody awful too. This makes Raven's other effort ( Crucible Of Terror ) look like a masterpiece. Watch it with a few beers and see if you can stop yourself from laughing. Or falling asleep.

I got Machine Girl as well, which I want to recommend to everyone. Absolutely demented and brilliant.

Yeah should have been out around now. I was interested in this, did some searching and found a few rumors that it had been canceled, but nothing official, though its now been removed from Amazon. But I spotted the OOP AB edition for sale on eBay last week and bought that for ~8 quid so I'm fairly happy. Looked virtually new as well, though I haven't got round to watching it yet.

I heard that a while back, the AB edition was going for silly money, so hopefully BU will re-release it soon.

I came across this yesterday and was very tempted but the price was ridiculous! I'm not paying 20 quid for it. I saw this film ages ago and enjoyed it because it is different and not a 'run of the mill' horror. On-line shopping here I come.

Mine was only a tenner in my local HMV, steve. I wouldn't have paid twenty quid for it either!

Picked up the Last House on the Left Uncut ultimate edition box from HMV today along with Teeth and Zombie Strippers. The Last House boxset is superb, great artwork and it features the 'Krug and Company' cut of the film and feature length docummentary 'Going to Pieces: Rise and Fall of the Slasher Flm'. It was £15.99 in HMV which isn't bad for them really, expected it to be around £30 or something.
