What are your latest Horror DVD purchases?

I just got the Phantasm UK import sphere set with all 4 movies. Very good transfers. Looking forward to Phantasm on Blu-ray

Save A Lot has 99 cent Halloween DVDs. I picked up Tales of Tommorrow, They Came from Beyond Space/First Spaceship on Venus, and The Bat/Shock. Cool stuff. They also had Clutch Cargo and some other stuff. First Halloween assortment I've seen. The Tales one features the half hour adaptaion of Frankenstein with a very drunk looking Lon Chaney Jr. as the monster.

I picked up The Veil Volume One. It's an old horror anthology TV series hosted by Boris Karloff.

No one seems to have a good selection of horror films to choose from this year, so I've just been picking up odds and ends lately. At K-Mart recently I picked up something called the "Grindhouse Sci-Fi Collection" for $9.99. It's a collection of eight movies released by Alpha Video. The picture quality is hit or miss since they all seem to be public domain films. Included in the set are:
The Galaxy Invader
Kong Island
Warriors of the Wasteland
Cosmos: War of the Planets
The Doomsday Machine
War of the Robots
It's Alive (a TV movie, not the cool mutant baby movie)
The Day Time Ended
I bought the set mostly to get "The Day Time Ended", since I'm a sucker for stop-motion animation monsters. "The Galaxy Invader" was kinda entertaining though goofy, but most of the rest of the movies are just dreadful, especially "Kong Island". Wal-Mart has a new section of $5.00 movies set up, and I scored a copy of the Midnite Movies double feature of "Tales From the Crypt" and "The Vault of Horror", as well as "From Hell". Some Wal-Marts are supposed to also have a Midnite Movies set of "Strange Invaders" and the 1980's version of "Invaders From Mars", so I'm keeping an eye out for that one too.
At Big Lots I've picked up $3.00 copies of "Die Monster Die!" and "Carrie". I also found a copy of "The Adventures of Baron Munchausen", though it's technically fantasy not horror.

Wow George, you bought a lot of movies I like:

The Galaxy Invader- Don Dohler! Alien Factor is better but I have this on VHS.

Kong Island- Is this the same release with the European nude scenes? This movie warped me when I was 11. Watched it a bunch of times.


Cosmos: War of the Planets
War of the Robots- I love these Italian epics.


It's Alive (a TV movie, not the cool mutant baby movie)- Larry Buchanan movies are another fetish of mine. I find them inescapable.

The Doomsday Machine- Is this the same one Cinematic Titantic did, with the rocket and the paper mache earth blowing up? It's real trash.

A rainy day so I sat and watch the DVD:"Screams of a winter night" The intro (at the gas station) reminds me of "Deliverance" a bit,then the rest is fine but the end...gosh!!!
It looks like they ran out of film or budget...very deceiving :-(

I've seen "The Alien Factor" exactly once, many years ago. I loved it, which is probably why I enjoyed "The Galaxy Invader".
To be honest, I only kinda half watched "Kong Island". It was playing in the background while I was on the computer, which is usually what happens when a movie bores me
I know Elvira did an episode on "The Doomsday Machine", but I haven't seen the Cinematic Titanic version.

The VHS box for Galaxy Invader has one of my favourite descriptions "Low on budget but high in Imagination!"

I like Kong Island but it's got a huge nostalgia factor, same with Assignment Terror.

I was hoping a big retailer would have a good selection of classic horror DVDs. Looks like they are letting us down. Wal-mart had a better selection when Twilight came to DVD!

Yeah, Walmart and Sam's club seem to be slacking this year.

I did notice that K-Mart has copies of "The Wolf Man" out now. It's the only Universal Monster release that I've seen this season.
