Got Return of the Vampire at the Lot for 3 bucks. And not horror related, but picked up the John Wayne/Batjac productions Suspense collection. 4 movies for 11 bucks at Sam's.
I noticed Big Lots has gotten a new shipment of movies in recently, and I picked up a few odds and ends. There were no horror films in this batch, but I did pick up a copy of "Logan's Run" and "Hero At Large". I watched "Logan's Run" last night. It was probably the first time in about thirty years I'd seen the film, and I was glad to see that for the most part it still holds up pretty well.
Today I stopped by Target in Bowling Green, and I picked up a copy of "The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor" on sale for $9.99.

Picked up "Mirrors" on DVD for $7.00 the other night. Actually a pretty fun film to watch. This DVD contains both the theatrical and "unrated" versions. I only watched the theatrical, so I'm not sure what they did in the other version (More graphic I'm sure). Fun movie to watch, but a tad ambiguous with the ending. I recommend it though. NOT for kids under the teen years. A pretty brutal kill scene in a bathroom. Gives new meaning to cracking someone's jaw...
Stopped by Big Lots hoping to find the other 2 Hammer Frankenstein movies but ended up finding Plan 9 From Outer Space.
Totally restored and also a color version plus commentary by MST3K Mike Nelson.
Bought the Groovie Goolies set yesterday at Half Price Books for $10. Does that count?
My son and I watched "House of Dracula" (from the Drac legacy set) Friday night. That's an odd one. It almost takes an "Episode One" approach to Vampirism and Lycanthropy. Vampirsim is caused by parasites, and werewolfism is all in Talbot's head, due to too much pressure? Midichlorians, anyone? And Talbot is cured at the end? WHAT?!?
My local Big Lots has gotten in a new shipment of $3.00 DVDs, and I went down yesterday and bought a big stack of movies. Most of what I bought was non-genre 1930's-1950's musicals, comedies, and dramas, but I did get a stack of science fiction/fantasy/horror films as well:
Brainstorm (Natalie Wood's last movie)
Dogma
Eight Legged Freaks
Eating Raoul
Oh God!
Oh God! You Devil
Ten Little Indians
and three Hammer Frankenstein films: The Curse of Frankenstein
The Revenge of Frankenstein
Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed
They also had Return of the Vampire with Bela Lugosi, but I already own a copy of that one.

I should hit another Big Lots then. I didn't know there were 2 other Frankenstein movies in that batch. I only saw Revenge. I passed on (or already had) the others you listed.

>My favorite Vampire movie of all time is "Interview with a Vampire"
That'll do it all right! It's not a bad book, kind've a weird film.... but unfortunately it became the "correct" way of doing vampires ever since. (Kinda how every Vampire from 1938 to the 50's HAD t wear a tux and slick their hair back....)
Gettin' back on topic: I don't own a copy, but they showed "Psychomania" a couple days ago! One of my favourite "lost" films. (THis, and "Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things.") I know it came out on VHS, but I wonder if there's been a disk release. The version that was shown seeme dlike a really old print; possibly film stock, possibly really old studio tape transfer.
>it's your call dude,it's a good film and I'm sure you'll enjoy it
I dunno.... way back in the day I had a couple of friends who were REALLY into the Anne Rice thing; and I'm kinda Eurotrash Vampire'd out now. I miss the old "they're evil monsters" kind of thing. For the last 15+ years EVERY vampire has been hip, suave and sexy.
Yeah i see what you mean,My favorite Vampire movie of all time is "Interview with a Vampire" So yeah I guess when I think of Vampires that's the way i pictured them
Don't get me wrong i like the crazy Vampire stuff as well
