New! A Creepy Cool Pile of Used, Like New, DVDs
Here are some titles you may have missed adding to your collection on the past. Some good ones, some out-of-print:
ALFRED HITCHCOCK MASTERPIECE COLLECTION - Used Big DVD Box Set
A velvet big DVD box set of Hitchcock's very best! Four DVD sets inside, all still sealed and new! Booklet included. Movies: SABOTEUR, SHADOW OF A DOUBT, ROPE, REAR WINDOW, THE BIRDS, MARNIE, TORN CURTAIN, TOPAZ, THE TROUBLE WITH HARRY, THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO MUCH, VETRIGO, PSYCHO, FRENZY, FAMILY PLOT, and disc of bonus material! Wow!
CAT PEOPLE (1942)/CURSE OF THE CAT PEOPLE (1944) -Used DVD Double Feature
CAT PEOPLE (1942) Stars Simone Simon. Val Lewton's first impact in the horror film genre, and what an impact! A strange web of mystery, wonderfully photographed with shocks and mounting dread. Extras include documentary, commentary by historian Greg Mank, interview with director Jacques Tourneur and more! CURSE OF THE CAT PEOPLE (1944) The Val Lewton classic fantasy! An intriguing tale, beautifully filmed in a style that bears more resemblance to a Grimm’s fairy tale than horror, with a mesmerizing performance from Ann Carter. This is her film and she is strong and convincing in the role. The exploration of the insecurity of the child coupled with a troubled relationship with her father is fascinating. The expectation of a "horror" film with the suggestive title is also misleading. This is ultimately a surprisingly sensitive and uniquely haunting film that would appeal on many levels.
THE OLD DARK HOUSE (1932) - Used DVD
The James Whale classic tale of a stormy night. Sardonic humor, wonderful photography and eerie scenes with a cast to kill for (literally!). Boris Karloff, Ernest Thesiger, Gloria Stuart, Charles Laughton, Raymond Massey and Melvyn Douglas star in a tale of stranded travelers...in an old, dark house!
A college student who becomes a laboratory assistant to a herpetologist who is covertly developing a serum that can transform human beings into snakes.
AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON (1981) - Used DVD
While backpacking in England, two American students are attacked by a creature, leaving one dead and the other facing a terrifying change...a change into a werewolf.
DAWN OF THE DEAD (2004/Unrated Director's Cut) - Used DVD
Stars Sarah Polley, Ving Rhames, Mekhi Phifer, and Jake Weber. A nurse, a policeman, a young married couple and other survivors of a worldwide plague of zombies! Loads of extras, deleted scenes, special features. Look out! Very gory stuff.
SILVER BULLET (1985) - Used DVD
Stars Gary Busey, Everett McGill, and Corey Haim. The small town of Tarker's Mills was a place that was very peaceful, where nothing extraordinary ever happened until one night when murders began. The townspeople believe it's some maniacal killer on the loose whom they intend to hunt down. Marty, a young handicapped boy, believes the killer is no man at all, but a werewolf.
