    I am not sure if this counts, but I just scored "Hound Of The Baskervilles" by Hammer with Peter Cushing as the king of sleuths.

          I bought "Caltiki,the immortal monster" a movie with a creature similar to "The blob"...
          I saw this as a kid...not bad at all...Does anyone knows that one?

              Nothing good or new at the Big Lots closest to me. Still same old crap nobody buys like animated features that are overpriced even at the dollar store and spanish language movies. The rack is getting sparse. Not even full anymore.

                I recently acquired Cloverfield and The Mist on DVD -- similar movies with similar monsters that act as companion pieces to one another, though their styles are widely different. Cloverfield is probably the superior film, but The Mist is so creepy and spookifying, and so true to human nature, that I definitely rank it high on my list of all-time great horror films.

                I also picked up an old VHS of The Wolf Man for $5. Wonderful photography and a palpable sense of horror balance out the hammy acting and head-scratching leaps in logic the movie makes. Judging by the (bootleg) trailer, the re-make is going to be brilliant, but the original is quite good as well.

                  a friend of mine that lives in Norway was able to get for me the Danish dvd version for the film Reptilicus which is the original uncut version and quite a bit different than how they relased this ove rhere in the US

                    Ooh, I'd like to see that! Reptilicus was one of my favorite cheesy horror movies as a kid... though I'm not sure how well it would hold up thirty years later.

                      Loved the bumbling janitor in Reptilicus.

                          I believe he\'s referring to a little film entitled Dracula Vs Frankenstein aka\"ASSIGNMENT TERROR\".
                          I saw it in the dollar bin at Rite Aid too.That movie RULES it\'s awesome you got it!
                          A favorite of both palitoy and myself(i have the awesome Spanish poster for that!)
                          The movie is goofy as hell ...but in the best possible way!
                          And to me,the makeup/costumes of the monsters strongly resemble Mego\'s Mad Monsters.

                          Definitely the Mummy who looks EXACTLY like the Mego figure!!
                          The Human Wolfman wd have to be like one of Naschy\'s roles in one of the later films like Werewolf and the Yeti or The Craving aka Night of the Werewolf to be a close representation,but the Dracula in the movie as well as the Frankenstein monster also CLOSELY resemble the Mego MM\'s.
                          (Brian we\'ve talked about this...Frankenstein w big honkin\' eyebrows LOL!
                          The similarity is happenstance and probably unrelated but this movie WAS out before MM\'s were available....so you never know.)
                          This is a fun,trashy early 70\'s monster bash film featuring Michael Rennie slumming it at the end of his career(I believe this was his last film)
                          and Spanish horror legend Paul Naschy in one of his many Waldemar Daninsky Werewolf films.
                          The whole cycle of his werewolf films are ALOT of fun but definitely check out Assignment Terror aka Dracula Vs. Frankenstien for the Mego
                          similarities.

                          Yeah ,what he said !
                          (sorry it took so long to reply }
                          Went back and they were long gone !
