What are your latest Horror DVD purchases?

[Mikey]

Not a purchase - a borrow, but I just watched Tales From the Crypt (1973)

I always liked that one

Watched a good chunk of Naschy's "Werewolf vs. Vampire Woman", off that set of horror flicks the wife and kids got me last year. The print is pretty bad, but it's watchable. I think it's another TV edit, as there seems to be scenes leading to boobies, but no payoff.

It's actually pretty good. The vampire woman scenes are pretty atmospheric, and somewhat reminiscent of Hammer's "The Vampire Lovers", albeit with a 1/16th of the budget.

"Werewolf VS the Vampire Woman" is one of the better ones, the problem with Naschy is a lot of what is out there is choppy TV prints of some of his worst like "Fury of the Wolfman" or "Assignment Terror" (which I personally enjoy), so it's a great misrepresentation.

Just bought "Nazis at the center of the Earth". I'm a sucker for frozen Nazi Zombies, what can I say.

Some explicit torture scenes in there (not really my taste), but Robo-Hitler is not something you see every day....

Not exactly a horror film, but I bought Something Weird at the thrift store. An H.G. Lewis film. It was so damn bad, but I love it.

Just saw Manster the other night, not to bad for a low budget movie

^That looks cool. His essay piqued my interest as well. Be sure to give us a review!

Sure, it's nonsense but fun, earnest nonsense. Waldemar (who seems to be unrelated to any other movie Waldemar) seeks Dr Jeckyll's help (who looks scarily like Lee Majors) and is turned into Mr Hyde, then back into a Werewolf in a cool disco scene. Not much of a destination but a fun journey.

The DVD I bought wasn't great, an old print with bad cuts, better versions exist. That's even the wrong poster on the box, the sloppy art should have been my first clue. I paid $15 for this "Limited edition" which is just a tarted up $2.99 bin release.

The wife is going on an overnight trip, which times perfectly with my latest Naschy purchase.



When Matt described the film in his customs thread, I realized I'd never seen it! Can't have that happen.

Amazon to the rescue!

^I think TCM is playing that this month. Last year my DVR crapped out and only recorded the first half hour, so I didn't get to see it. My memories of it are very vague. If I saw it, it was as a kid. Looking forward to seeing it!

Now you guys have me all worked up to see DvsF on BR and I get a notice that the release is pushed back till mid November

Yeah that ticked me off a lot. Apparently Tokyo Pop is known for such things.

This weekend I made the journey to an independent video store and found Hammer's "The Mummy". Pretty excited to pick that up and support an independent again. Can't get over at how much I enjoyed the film as well.

If I see another I'll snag it.

You're one of the good ones! Thanks T-bolt! :D

That is the pilot movie of Night Gallery which included the segment directed by Steven Speilberg with Joan Crawford.

That is so cool. I wanted to say it was an early episode, but changed my mind, cause it was an 'old memory'.
Amoung many others, this is one of my favorites. The look of horror on Roddy McDowell's face, and the cuts to the ever-changing picture, gives the viewer an idea of what he is witnessing, without the cartoony look of animation. Thanks.
