Attention VHS Collectors! Rare Used Videos Are Here Now...
If you're a VHS tape collector, peruse through these...some quite rare, for your collection. Get them now for immediate shipping to your dungeon door:
MIGHTY JOE YOUNG (1949 Colorized) - Used VHS
The original MIGHTY JOE YOUNG with animation by Willis O'Brien and Ray Harryhausen. A wonderful story of a girl and her ape (not unlike a boy and his dog!). She is lured from Africa to the big city for fame and fortune on the nightclub circuit with her giant ape, Joe. A romping adventure-fantasy that is pure movie magic. Colorized version!
EL MUNDO DE LOS VAMPIROS (1961/aka: WORLD OF THE VAMPIRES in Spanish) - Used VHS
This is the original Mexican version of THE WORLD OF THE VAMPIRES in Spanish! Music is tied into the rituals of vampires. When a vampire king tickles the ivories, he can put ladies under his power. Really creepy and weird. One VERY memorable scene features a bat flapping in the high corner of a dark room, it's head suddenly becoming that of a female vampire in miniature. Scared me when I was a kid! You'll never forget the organ made of bones and skulls deep in underground caverns either!
THE CRIMINAL CODE (1930/Early Boris Karloff) - Used VHS
Stars Walter Huston, Phillips Holmes, Constance Cummings and Boris Karloff. A man is railroaded to prison and becomes entangled in a web of torment, brutality and hope. Cell mate Boris Karloff steals the show. Karloff's line that is repeated with such evil is simply "I gotta meeting with a guy...." You just know it won't be a pleasant meeting! Hollywood legend goes that director James Whale saw Karloff in this and sought him out at the studio commissary to offer him the role of Frankenstein's monster. THE CRIMINAL CODE, directed with fast-pasted zeal by Howard Hawks. Note: former rental in a clam shell case.
TOMBSTONE CANYON (1932/Western-horror-mystery) - Used VHS
Stars Ken Maynard. A masked phantom killer is on the loose in a western town. Cool make-up for a western at the climatic unmasking scene. Note: this used VHS is in a clam shell protective case.
TALES OF MANHATTAN (1942) - Used VHS
A total all-star cast of Hollywood's classic faces. An actor, Paul Orman, is accidentally told that his new, custom made tail coat has been cursed and it will bring misfortune to all who wear it. As the 4 succeeding wearers of the coat discover, misfortune can often lead to truth. NOTE: W.C. Fields appeared in a chapter which was cut from the final theatrical version. It had been restored in this 1996 VHS version. When it was later on released in DVD, the Fields segment was deleted again...it's in this VHS!
HEY FOLKS! IT'S INTERMISSION TIME Volume 5 (Shorts, trailer, food ads) - Used VHS
Like new VHS -- Something Weird Video produced collection! Packed with theater and drive-in concession stand ads, trailers, short films. Retro magic!
ADVENTURES OF CHARLIE AND CUBBY (1969) - Used VHS
Super rare stop-motion! Filmed in 1969 and released in the USA in 1987 as an English dubbed feature version of the original Soviet animated series Cheburashka that was originally issued in 1969. Unique and amazing stop-motion fantasy for kids. Note: Former rental.
MUSEUM OF HORROR (1963) - Used VHS
One really cool Mexican horror movie. It seems that they blended The Phantom of the Opera with House of Wax. A cloaked killer hides in a great theatre and has his own hidden museum of horrors. Cool atmosphere and some really creepy scenes. In Spanish, no subtitles. Released by Something Weird Video.
WILLY McBEAN AND HIS MAGIC MACHINE (1965) - Used VHS
Super rare! Early Rankin-Bass puppetmation feature film. Little Willy McBean joins up with a Mexican monkey named Pablo to travel back in time and stop the evil Prof. Von Rotten from changing history. From King Arthur back to dinosaurs. A great, but forgotten, fantasy film. This is a former video store rental in hard shell case.
SMOKING GUNS (1934) - Used VHS
Stars Ken Maynard and Gloria Shea. Accused of a murder he did not commit, Ken leaves the country. Three years later Evans finds him in the jungle. When Evans dies, Ken seeing the resemblance, assumes his identity and returns to clear his name.
CAPTAIN SCARLETT (1952) - Used VHS
Stars Richard Greene and Leonora Amar. A bold rogue takes on an army of enemies, matching wits and weapons to win a kingdom...and love. Swashbuckler!

Rondo Remembers: School, Science Fiction, and Scholastics
Elementary school and science fiction sometimes went together. When I was in 5th grade, I had a fairly strict teacher named Mrs. Whitney. If you weren't paying attention, day dreaming, she had a special radar that would locate you and send in a missile in the form of a shout, "Mr. Adams!" Then, the follow-up that resulted in squirming torture. The dreaded question in front of the class, "what were we just talking about?" Yikes. If I had been drawing on the cream-colored, smooth Formika desk with my pencil, I would quickly lick my finger and wipe off the art.
If not drawing, I was probably weighing in my mind whether The Wolf Man could really have a chance against the Frankenstein Monster? And, if the movie FRANKENSTEIN MEETS THE WOLF MAN that I had seen pictures from in monster magazines, would ever come on TV? We had no home video, You Tube, or streaming services in 1970. Or, it could have been the time that I was admiring a fellow student's colorful lunch box that displayed a scene from the cartoon film YELLOW SUBMARINE.
But, I now realize Mrs. Whitney was just trying to do her job. Teach kids math. That was the class where my mind usually drifted. In retrospect, I remember her fondly now. Mainly because she read to the class a few pages a day from the book A WRINKLE IN TIME. She even drew on the chalkboard the concept, in the book, of jumping through time. On a string going from one end to the other instead of following the entire length. Space-time travel....was Mrs. Whitney a fan of Albert Einstein?
Another exciting part of the 5th grade experience was a tradition that had started with me way back in 2nd grade. The roll call when a Scholastic book order had come in. It seemed like it was maybe once a month that my teachers through the years would unbox a stack of Scholastic Readers. These newsprint, two color flyers would have an interesting story and maybe some current event news items. Then, they would list all the books offered that month through "the club." Little thumbnails of book covers and descriptions. You could take it home and come back in a day or two with a filled out coupon of books you wanted, and an envelope of money. The money begged from Mom for the books.
Your teacher would collect the lists, the money and it would disappear. Then weeks later, when you just about forgot you had ordered books -- a student office helper would deliver to your classroom a large box. It would sit on the teacher's desk, everyone eyeing it, till a current lesson would end. Then, the unboxing! The teacher would remove stacks of books that were gum-banded (the old western, PA term for rubber band) with the original coupon from us kids.
The roll call began and we would walk up to the teacher's desk and get our booty of Scholastic books. Mine would inevitably be any scary books that would have been available. Edgar Allan Poe, ghost story collections, mysteries, dinosaurs...an occasional book on space, astronauts, historical adventure, UFOs, Bigfoots...or lastly, if none of the above...a book on animals. No dogs, cats, or cute things...only reptiles and amphibians.
I loved my collection of Scholastic books. They rested in stacks around my room alongside FAMOUS MONSTERS OF FILMLAND magazines and hundreds of comic books. Books fueled that imagination and it was, ironically, actually a "Catch 22." Often those fantastic books would be in my mind when I'd hear Mrs. Whitney saying "Ah. Mr. Adams, what were we just discussing?"

New! 1956 Theatrical Lobby Card...The Creature
Own an original Universal Monster lobby card! Get it, frame it, love it! Note the theater that displayed this really made a lot of pin holes in it, but it's still a vintage original:

An original theatrical lobby card for a Universal Monster movie! It was used by a theater in 1956 for THE CREATURE WALKS AMONG US featuring the Creature From the Black Lagoon. NOTE: There are numerous, many pin holes in this card. Without all the pin holes it would be valued at $600-$1000. But, this item (because of many pin holes) is listing for 199.99. It's an original 1956 "Creature" theater card.

New! Restored Blu-Rays and DVDs
Here they are! Some new ones for your Blu-Ray or DVD collection:
THE BLACK RAVEN (1943) - Blu-Ray
Restored! A really cool little film of a small roadside hotel as the scene of violence. Glenn Strange is the Lenny-like assistant to hotel owner George Zucco. Zucco's black eyes gleam as he delivers heavy handed lines. A storm whips up and a torrential downpour ensues with howling wind and thunder through the events.
STRANGER ON THE THIRD FLOOR (1940) - Blu-Ray or DVD
Stars Peter Lorre, John McGuire, Margaret Tallichet, Charles Waldron and Elisha Cook Jr. A reporter witnesses the scene of a crime, but doesn't actually see a murder take place. His testimony sends an innocent man to death row. Then the real events begin to fit into place when a creepy, quiet man is observed by the reporter's girlfriend. The strange, quiet man (played wonderfully by Peter Lorre) haunts the young woman. This film features one of the most wild, horrific dream sequences. One of those low-budget features that rises far above what it was intended to be. A really great mix of mystery, film noir and chiller.
HERCULES AND THE CAPTIVE WOMEN (1963) - Blu-Ray or DVD
Restored! Stars Reg Park and Fay Spain. Hercules saves a beautiful maiden from the hands of an evil creature. She takes him to her home, Atlantis. Herc kicks some butt and saves her from her mother who wants to kill her and from some scary looking blond guys.

Re-Shocked at Creepy Classics! It's A Bela Lugosi Triple Feature
From Vintage Movie Classics, factory sealed and new:
BELA LUGOSI - KING OF THE UNDEAD (Triple Feature) - DVD
WHITE ZOMBIE (1932) Bela in top-form, loaded with confidence (just coming off DRACULA) and sinking his teeth into the role of plantation/zombie owner.
THE CORPSE VANISHES (1942) A Lugosi poverty row fave. Bela is using the blood of young woman to keep his wife youthful. Dreadfully delightful, with Lugosi giving it his all. ONE BODY TOO MANY (1944) Bela Lugosi as an ominous butler (similar to NIGHT MONSTER) in an old mansion. Jack Haley (WIZARD OF OZ) is a insurance salesman turned detective in this mystery-comedy-thriller. Plenty of dark passages, secret doors and spooky scenes in this feature!
