I have let you all down once again. Title: Re: TCM Archive DVDs . . . how did I miss these? Post by: Jack on October 26, 2009, 08:34:07 PM And we were going to get you a fruit basket :bluesad:

Man, I would go broke buying on that site: so many good ones! :smile: Title: Re: TCM Archive DVDs . . . how did I miss these? Post by: The Burgomaster on October 27, 2009, 08:26:00 AM Thanks, Trek. Man, I would go broke buying on that site: so many good ones! :smile: Yes. I had to show some restraint and limit myself to five DVDs. Title: Re: TCM Archive DVDs . . . how did I miss these?

I have used them for years. You can find them under the purchasing links at the bottom of most reviews. They fell of my often used list because other online retailers caught up with their selection of unusual titles. Movies Unlimited is where I first purchased "The Terror of Tiny Town" and "The Sound of Horror." They are just opening up that archive section. You'll be seeing my first review of one this coming weekend, with "The Bermuda Depths!" Title: Re: TCM Archive DVDs . . . how did I miss these? Post by: The Burgomaster on October 27, 2009, 10:33:30 AM Be careful . . . Movies Unlimited is selling some of these titles for $24.99 or more and they're only $17.99 if you buy them direct from TCM.

I just ordered DON'T BE AFRAID OF THE DARK. I thought Andrew had been looking for that one, too... Quick turnaround time, too. Don't get sucked in by the "expensive" shipping they offer. I selected the cheapest shipping method and they shipped all 5 DVDs within a day or two and the USPS tracking information indicates it should be at my house today or tomorrow. So, less than a week from order to delivery using the cheapest shipping possible. Title: Re: TCM Archive DVDs . . . how did I miss these?

[grabs wallet] Ooo... And Crescendo. And The Adventures of Mark Twain. And Captain Sinbad. Title: Re: TCM Archive DVDs . . . how did I miss these? Post by: Shadow on November 01, 2009, 09:53:14 PM I don't know how long it will last with Halloween over, but if you go straight to the Warner Brothers site, they have 25% off all horror titles in their archive collection. I nabbed four today:
Razorback From Hell it Came Don't Be Afraid of the Dark The Bermuda Depths Linky: http://www.wbshop.com/ http://www.wbshop.com/25%25-Off-Warner-Archive-Horror/WACHALLOWEEN09,default,sc.html Title: Re: TCM Archive DVDs . . . how did I miss these?

Post by: The Burgomaster on November 04, 2009, 07:02:52 AM I watched LEPKE and DON'T BE AFRAID OF THE DARK last night. The quality on both is fine. However, these are definitely "no frills" DVDs. They don't have animated menus, extra materials like trailers or interviews . . . they don't even have a "scene access" list. The "menu" screen has only one option: "play movie." And it has some text explaining that you can jump to various spots in the movie in 10 minute increments by using your forward and reverse buttons. Sort of surprising because these DVDs certainly aren't being sold at bargain-basement prices. But I'm still pleased with the movies and will buy more.
