Page 1 of Any Horror Fans Here

just wondering how many of you ,
are horror fans ,so how many hard to obtain horrors do you own , and if so what was your hardest horror getting hold of.
mine was ,the house at the edge off the park.

Yep I`m a keen horror fan,

I have most rare import DVDs e.g. EC Entertainment, Dragon, Salo criterion, Intruder (night of the Intruder) - only 100 made, Zombie (signed by Ian McCulloch), Stendahl Syndrome (1st & uncut pressing of the UK disc - subsequently withdrawn), Little Shop Of Horrors first pressing (with alternate ending), all anchor bay limited editions e.g. Halloween, army of darkness etc. The hardest to get hold of was the German Dead Next Door PAL special edition (not the barebones canadian release) which has over an hour of extras & director`s commentary track! Also the American version of the mail in 5th Alien disc was difficult to get as well...

Rabid Dogs still eludes me though.....

hi bozman,
damn i was supposed to be getting intruder, i heard it was limited too 100 copies lucky you , :-( , but as always my supplier let me down again,how much did you pay for it ,if you dont mind me asking,and a copy of zombie ,signed by ian mc culloch,lucky, nope ,
i only have my texas chainsaw massacre signed by gunnar hansen , i met him last year.so ime chuffed with that,intruder is one of my all time favourites too,ive got it on vhs,i have a lot on vhs,but i still cant get hold of guts of a beauty,or guts of a virgin,or fulcis, smuggler,
my supplier is a bit of a dummy,slow on the uptake , as usual.i aint never seen rabid dogs though,got a hold of ,death night,dragon do that one as well,dont bother m8,its p***.ime waiting on my basket case any time now,and fulcis,demonia,and also,men behind the sun.
where do you get your horrors from m8.

hey, check out www.edgeinthemovie.com, i saw this and it literally blew me away... its out on DVD today and you can order it from amazon.com, not so much a classic / banned horror as such, but stuff like this is hardly made anymore... if only more horrors like this would come out..

Yeah 100 test pressings of Intruder were made due to be destroyed. There was only 1 place on the net you get it and they probably wouldn`t appreciate me giving away their website address (for obvious reasons). If "sgm" means anything to you you`ll know where I`m talking about. It cost me £35. Unfortunately I`ve heard that it is very slightly cut although I can`t confirm this. Its supposed to be released in the US towards the end of this year by Image Entertainment (I think!)...

I`ve yet to see much of the Japanese Horror stuff e.g. the guts series etc. although i do have Men Behind The Sun which is a good disc, Bunman: The Untold Story (nasty) & Story Of Riki...

I have most of the fulci discs too (aside from the very new releases e.g. Manhattan Baby ).

Have a few Argento films too - which reminds me I need to watch Nonhosonno - I`ve yet to make my mind up about the Phenomena 2 disc set though - I`ve only seen disappointing reviews...

I`ve Got Rabid Dogs on Video (from the DVD) but have yet to watch it - its supposed to be similar to Last House On The Left (Which I have on DVD both French & Dutch versions :) )....

:) - I`ve got Death Night too....

You`ll have to let me know what Basket Case is like - I have the original release (I presume your getting the new special edition)

I`ve got Faust (new Yuzna, Jeffery Combs outing), Wicker Man limited Edition and From Beyond on the way this week...

I get my US discs from the usual stores dvdboxoffice, amazon etc. For european discs I try to get them from online stores in the country of origin as much as possible mainly because its sooo much cheaper than buying them from dealers within the UK (who add a few £`s for the privilege). If your looking for anything in particular then email me and I`ll see if I know where you can get it from a reputable online retailer directly rather than a third party supplier.

hi bozman,
i heard about SGM where selling intruder,and if someone said anything they where ,getting rid of em lol,
yes my basket case (se) arrives this week,i will let you know if its any good,let me know what the running time is on your intruder is ,

l8trz m8,

Hi law,

sorry for late response...

The PAL runtime for the DVD of Intruder is 85mins..

Im quite interested in Schramm - never seen it - would you recommend it as a film?

I need to cut down on buying these DVDs - I have a backlog of 15 -20.. but there`s so many decent discs coming out..... must resist ... must cut back.. :)

If you can get hold of the PAL Dead Next Door - youll be in for a treat as it has a JR Brookwater commentry track, about 15 trailers, a couple of making of documentaries and a s***load more extras (over an hour!). It puts the canadian - movie only version to shame...

I like a good Zombie film - I`ve got the 3 versions of Dawn of the Dead availbale - Diectors Cut, Theatrical cut and the Dutch double disc set.... Tempted by the digitally remastered Danish set but I think I`ll wait for Anchor bays definitive release next year.....

You shouldn`t be paying £30 for US discs (or european for that matter) - unless they come wrapped in gold! If you`ve got a visa card use www.absound.ca, dvdboxoffice.com, amazon.com etc. and you`ll get them for £12 -20 max.

European discs are a bit more difficult to get and I normally pay around £12 - 22 (unless exceptional circumstances e.g. Intruder) direct from the country of origin - EC Discs are fairly difficult to get cheaply, Itlaian Shock, Japan Shock stuff are fairly reasonable and easily obtainable. UK importers usually take what they think they can get so you`ll be looking around £25+ a time since they`re "taking the importation risk" blah blah...

SGM have first class service although they are fairly pricey once you`ve added shipping. No customs trouble at all - I`ve ordered from them twice and I got my discs within a couple of weeks - dispatched from Germany and marked as gifts...

I`d ask your supplier to price match or sounds as though you should make him one customer less...

In fact I`ve only ever had 2 packages opened by customs - 1 was straw dogs and the other contianed Nightmare City & The Smuggler. Both times the DVDs were sent on within 2 weeks (although they did open and watch Straw Dogs).. The BBFC are so leniant compared to 3 years ago I don`t think customs will often confiscate DVDs aside from stuff like the guts series, guinea pig and anything with cannibal in the title :)

I find DC-DVD expensive and only bought from them once a few years ago before I decided to shop around a bit - as long as you keep altavista babel fish handy you should be ok with the foreign sites :)

Not yet used futureent - their prices a very reasonable for a UK supplier... Might get the new Die Hard set from them...

Yep I have Dead and Buried too - great film - not so good transfer... Best release Dragon has probably done is Woodoo much better transfer than Anchor Bays Zombie and good extras too..

You`ll have let me know about DIVX - not looked into it very closely and don`t really know much about it - isn`t it to do with DVD ripping to high quality VCD? I remember a mate of mine ripped a DVD to hard drive to VCD and it took something like 16 hours! - I bet its a lot faster now though...

What sort of horror films do you like (slashers/gore/thrillers/Italian etc) and which Directors?

I could talk about horror dvds all day too - I`ll look out for your next post!

Hi diydestruction,

Yeah I wouldn`t mind seing the Ed Gein movie - although it hasn`t had too good reviews... It looked good when channel 4 previewed it last year so I`ll probably track down the DVD sooner or later..

Regards,

boz

hey bozman ,
how you doing m8, cheers for your last post,and sorry i took so long in replying too m8,i was downloading a game called,max payne,
from an ftp server for the last 10 hours,and the connection closed,so i cant get back in at the moment,will try again tomorrow,damn i only need 17 more files.

anyway,first thing is first,buy schramm,as soon as m8,i liked it very much,got it from dc-dvd for £26.75 though,pricey m8,its about in the mind of a serial killer,very very violent,jesus the guy nails his penis,i will put that politely,to the table with about 5 nails , lol,thats all i will say about it, as to not spoil it for you m8.but ime sure you will find it very strange but like it anyway.

thanks for the info about prices and sites m8,its appreciated,i will check out my vhs of intruder for you tomorrow and let you know running times.

i also have woodoo,got it last week,havent watched it yet,i also have anchor bays version of zombie,and the dutch version of dawn of the dead,its neat.

my supplier is getting binned as of now,ive only been wating on ,the smuggler hmmm about a year now from him,thanks to your information,i will order from sgm,now and thanks,thats really made my day hearing that,that customs are ok cheers.

i will need to mail you my dvd list to see if you need anything,will draft one out this week for you.

divx,my m8 does all that for me,as he uploads most of my rare horrors,to ftp sites,so he will do them no problem for me,if there is anything you need.

ive got nearly all the troma dvds, though i only look for the gore in them,but most of them ars s***,apart from mothers day,and redneck zombies.

my best horrors really are like the burning ,and stuff,but i really like the zombie films mostly,best director has to be fulci,for his famous,
zombie(aka flesh eaters), and i love the cannibal movies,i liked ferox,and holocaust,one is as good as the other,dvds are stunning of them .

argento hmm,he is ok,but not my best as a director,though i liked suspiria,and tenebre,as inferno.

slasher,gore italian,i like em all as long as they have a lot of gore in em m8,though mainly, gore ,do you have any,hershell gordon lewis,
i.e. wizard of gore,gore gore girls,and the likes ,i have nearly all his now.

ok ,cheers for replying to my last post m8,ime looking forward to your next post,
thanks for the info,and p.s. get that schramm ordered.

take care , thanks lawless.

Hi lawless,

Ah Max Payne - I`ve been waiting for that to come out - I wouldn`t mind that myself! Unfortunately I don`t have a fast enough connection to use ftp sites anymore (used to a couple of years back on a T1, now I`m just using my 56K modem :) ). I also have a lot of horror oriented games too!

I`ve added Schramm to my to get list!

No problem about the sites - If you are looking for anything in particular just drop me an email (zob_nam[at]moc.liamtoh - I don`t think dvdreviewer give you poster`s email addresses for some reason) and I`ll see if I know anywhere cheaper.

If you haven`t already paid for the Smuggler, again drop me and email and I can point you in the direction of where to get it for less than a tenner :)

Yep sure send me your list I`ll look forward to reading it..(I need to brush a up mine a bit too and I`ll send it to you if you like)

Mother`s Day is also on my list - I must get it one of these days...

You don`t happen to know where i can get John Carpenter`s They Live from still as its just gone out of print :( ...

Yeah I`ve got the Burning on video from Amazon.com - they`ve released the uncut version and haven`t realised yet! - haven`t watched it as my NTSC-PAL converter doesn`t work with my VCR...

Yeah I like Fulci too - Can`t decide between the US or German version of Nightmare Concert as the German one is PAL widescreen with an amazing transfer (so I`m told) and has english soundtrack whereas the US is Italian language only with eng. subtitles.......

I have most of the Cannibal films - Holocaust is an absolute classic, Ferox isn`t bad but I prefer Holocaust - The EC disc is great. Also have Eaten Alive, Amazonia, Mountain Of The Cannibal God, Cannibal Man & Deep River Savages.

I have a few Argentos - Deep Red, Inferno, Nonhosonno, Tenebrae, Stendahl Syndrome. Also have suspiria on video - soon to be upgraded to Anchor Bays limited edition :). Thought Suspiria was great - Tenebrae not as good as I`d read and I haven`t watched the others yet!

I`ve got hershell gordon lewis`s Blood Feast - what are wiard of gore etc. like? - I`ve never seen them..

I like a good absolutely ridiculous gore film - Have you got Premutos? I would presume you`ve got either the uncut spanish or german version of Braindead :)

Look forward to hearing from you soon...
