I wish there was one "near" me as well. I moved about 40 minutes from my parents house this past February and there isn't an FYE near me at all. Luckily I stop in town and visit them/some friends almost every weekend so I can usually find the time to stop in there and do a quick search. I am fortunate enough to live near a Best Buy, Target, two Exchange's, and a Buybacks now though. Buybacks is about 15 minutes from me now but 9 times out of 10 it's worth the drive. They have some of the cheapest stuff I've ever seen. The acting is on point. Especially for such no name actors who never really did much else, you can definitely feel their frustration when they're lost. Same goes for the fake documentary, it feels very legit. I've never even heard of Buybacks? I live just outside Boston, so we have tons of Best Buys/Targets/Newbury Comics. Newbury has cool shit, but they're so overpriced. Amazon is always cheaper new, than they charge for used stuff. But sometimes you can find some gems in the used section. Like a year ago I found Ichi the Killer on bluray for like $5 bucks. That's an OOP $50 dollar bluray! Edited September 6, 2016 by kylet Rip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah, I've found some great stuff there for under $5. I'll post them next chance I get. So jealous of that Ichi blu-ray. Funny enough, I think I grabbed the DVD version last time I was at Buybacks haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bladewillisisdead Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 I watch Blair Witch Project every year as part of my October horror movie a day marathon. It fucked me up as a kid. I think I was 11 when I saw it and I've never been that scared in a theater and never will be again. My girlfriend and I took off the 16th to go see the new one (we legit requested off months and months ago when the first trailer for The Woods dropped) and I hope I can get high enough that I get scared. Being high in a movie theater is the closest I can get to attaining that childhood sense of "wonder" while at the movies. We've unofficially started our horror marathon for the year. Working on a set schedule for October, I'll post it when it's finished. We managed 40 movies last year. Aiming for 60 this year since we added September. I don't collect blurays anymore outside of Criterions, but Best Buy is where it's at. You have to actually go in and browse to find the random good deals though. Grabbed Devils Rejects for seriously $2. Got a 4 movie Coen Bros box set for $20 and Evil Dead 2/Silence of the Lambs/Pulp Fiction/A Clockwork Orange/The Shinning/Dark City/Memento/From Dusk to Dawn/Terminator 2 for $5 each Rip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought it, watched it, wasn't feeling it so I sold it on ebay. But I made a few bucks and bought some other cool stuff haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingTacoMunster Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Just scored these Blu rays: Saw 7 movie collection The Collector The Collection The Strangers Hills Have Eyes (remake) Hills Have Eyes 2 (remake) For $35, stoked Rip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Posted September 7, 2016 Author Share Posted September 7, 2016 (edited) Speaking of The Collector and The Collection (love both of them), anyone hear about the new movie out from the director of these called "The Neighbor?" Came out on blu-ray/DVD yesterday. It stars Bill Engvall (yes THAT Bill Engvall), Scott Stewart (who was the main character in both Collector and Collection) and the main girl from Starry Eyes. Apparently it's really good? I would've bought it yesterday but Best Buy only had the DVD for some reason and since it's out on blu-ray also, I'm one of this guys who would rather just have it on that format.

Han Solo Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Oof. I just finished The Orphanage (2007). Guillermo Del Toro really likes to make sad movies, doesn't he? That was depressing as fuck but very good. The new Blair Witch sequel tomorrow looks promising as well. KingTacoMunster 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kylet Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Saw the Blair Witch today. The last 25 minutes are pretty sweet but god damn it took awhile to get there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bladewillisisdead Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 I'd give Blair Witch a C+ or a B- It was fun but not great. It would have much better without the Blair Witch connection. It adhered too closely to the beats of the original BWP. Including ending on the same shot. I think it would have turned into a much better film without those elements. A few of the scares definitely got me to jump and one shot in particular near the end made me mutter "Nope. No. No no no no..." to my girlfriend.

No. No no no no..." to my girlfriend. I'd give it like a B to B+. I liked the last half hour a lot but was feeling sorda bored until it amped up. Overall I'd say I enjoyed this more than 31. Spoiler First 20 minutes was basically just 20 minutes of them hanging out and talking about their equipment and whatnot (Could have dealt with a slimmed down version of this). Next 20 was them just walking into the woods Followed by like 20 of a lot of "did you hear that" cheap jump scare bullshit Things really amp up the last half hour which I was into.

Just awhile for it to get going, but surprisingly the first hour goes quick. from the reviews/hype, I was a little disappointed but liked it better than the original.

kylet Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 If anyone is in the Boston area After Midnight is doing some really cool stuff for their Flick 'r Treat series (Exorcist, American Werewolf in London, Evil Dead, and tons more)http://www.coolidge.org/programs/flickr-treats Unfortunately my Halloween job starts up this weekend so I won't be able to make many of these. I am going to try to go to the Cabin of Horror Double feature (Evil Dead/Cabin In The Woods) that's actually in the woods. It's at the same place I posted about a few pages back that showed Friday the 13th in the woods, which was a ton of fun! Rip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rip Posted September 21, 2016 Author Share Posted September 21, 2016 Went to Best But earlier and grabbed some horror stuff I've been wanting. They had a small "Halloween" themes section with some great deals: - Blair With Project (blu-ray for $6.99) - Bloodsucking Bastards (blu-ray for $8.99) Also got The Conjuring 1 & 2 blu-ray's. Neither one was "cheap." The first one for $11.99 and the second one for $22.99. The second one just came out so that's why the price was what it was. But yeah! Super stoked on all of them.

Bladewillisisdead Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 (edited) My girlfriend and I stayed up way too late and drank a little too much last night, but we finalized our October Horror Fest schedule. I'll hide it under spoilers cause it's massive. Preemptively: Yes, I know I'm missing [movie] and yes I know [other movie] sucks or whatever. There's no way to get every movie we wanted to watch or should watch on there. Some movies are ones we watch every year and received priority space. Some movies are there because the fit a mood/tone/theme. Some truly classic horror films were left off because they're not quite "Halloweeny." We are still desperately trying to come up with a third movie to watch on Halloween. 10/1: Hocus Pocus / The Faculty 10/2: Adams Family Values / Beetlejuice 10/3: Crimson Peak / The Haunting (1999) 10/4: Poltergeist / Paranormal Activity 2 (or 3) / Ghostwatch 10/5: Burnt Offerings / Amityville Horror / The Beyond 10/6: The Changeling (1980) 10/7: The Shining / YellowBrickRoad 10/8: Grave Encounters / The Blair Witch Project 10/9: Blade / The Lost Boys 10/10: Let the Right One In / Midnight Son 10/11: Martin / Season of the Witch (1973) 10/12: Nosferatu (1922) / Nosferatu the Vampyre (1979) 10/13 : Vampyr (1933) / Shadow of the Vampire 10/14: The Neon Demon / Suspiria 10/15: Hellraiser 10/16: The Omen / Rosemary's Baby 10/17: The Craft / Scream / Ginger Snaps 10/18: A Nightmare on Elm Street / Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter 10/19: Tucker and Dale vs Evil / The Cabin in the Woods 10/20: Re-Animator / Trick R Treat 10/21: Zombieland / Dead Alive 10/22: Night of the Living Dead (1968) 10/23: Dawn of the Dead (1978) / Zombi (1979) 10/24: Evil Dead 2 / Return of the Living Dead 10/25: Phantasm / The Dead Zone (1983) 10/26: The Exorcist / Here Comes the Devil 10/27: Berberian Sound Studio / Pontypool 10/28: John Carpernter's The Thing / Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) 10/29: Haxan (1922) / The Wicker Man (1973) / The Witch 10/30: Sleepy Hollow / Edward Scissorhands 10/31: The Conjuring / Halloween / ??? 11/1: Eraserhead 11/2: Mulholland Drive / Haute Tension Edited September 25, 2016 by Bladewillisisdead Rip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bladewillisisdead Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 I think that's like 64 movies in October. We've got some lofty goals here. We both work full time with shifts that usually conflict. RIP sleeping. The November movies are there as a weird, uncomfortable horror hangover type thing.
