ATTN All Wal mart Shoppers!!

[Chopper]

i found a copy of the canadian classic, the Gate, on dvd for only 6$. just thought i'd let all you fellow b's know. they also has Frogs for the same price, i just couldn't bring myself to buy it though.

I found a 2 DVD set at Walmart that had Night of the Living Dead and Kingdom of the Spiders packaged together.  Whoever thought that was a good idea for a double bill...

Well, he was right.  Oddly enough.

I haven't watched either yet, so I can't speak of the quality of the product.

[Chopper]

yeah i saw that also. i don't know why i didn't pick it up. does your wal-mart have that double dvd, Charles Bronson set with like 5 movies on it?!

I was just at a WalMart and there were several "AMC Monsterfest Collection" DVDs for only $5.88.  Each of the DVDs were actually 2 dvd sets with 4 movies altogether.  There was a Boris Karloff set, 2 cult movie sets, and the one I got was the Roger Corman one with "Bucket of Blood", "Wasp Woman", "The Terror", and "Little shop of horrors".  Definitely a great find.

Not that I'm aware of, but I didn't look to hard, either.,,

Pick up "The Brood" and "C.H.U.D."  the other day from their $9.46 Halloween display at my local Wally World.

I was considering getting "Hell Night" also, but didn't know if it was worth getting. Anybody recommend it or warning me away from it?

After a long stretch of good stuff in the $5.88 bin, they've gone to crap lately, mostly old TV movies, Bonaza episodes, and lots of 1960s and 70s Godzilla flicks, which don't interest me since I'm only a casual giant monster fan at best.

My radar just went up. I'm heading to Walmart.

It wasn't anything special, but it wasn't horrible either. It's your typical teenagers being stalked by a killer in an abandoned mansion. There's a big, spiked fence around the entire property and they're locked for the night for some kind of initiation. The ones making them do this, sneak in to scare them, but don't count on there being anyone living in the house. Soon people start disappearing and the rest end up fighting for their lives.

I picked up Frogs and the NOTLD/Kingdom of the Spiders discs tonight.  I already have Night on a 10 movie 5 disc set from Brentwood that I got for free from the video store I used to work at, so I'll just sell that one off.
I seriously think the people from Wal Mart read this board, because all these kickass b-movies keep showing up there really cheap.  Just a few weeks ago I picked up the original Legend of Boggy Creek (which kicks ass, by the way).

I never call it Wal Mart.

I call it "tram law" or "Mal Wart"

Hehe!

My dad calls it "Wally World."

[yaddo42]

I started calling it "Wally World" because a good friend used to call it that. I miss her since she moved away, so "WW" is a stupid little tribute of mine to remind me how much fun I thought she was.

I bought FROGS on DVD when it was originally released. I'm sure I paid more than $6.00 for it. Guess I should have waited.

I have a friend who refuses to shop there because he thinks it's a huge evil corporation and he refuses to be a part of it.

So he does all his shopping through amazon.com and eBay...What a moron...

I bought the Chow-Yun Fat flick "Full Contact" for $19 there, now it's in the DVD aisle display for $9.50. Decent film, but to have bought it for twice the price of "Big Trouble In Little China", "Slapshot" and other classics I bought there feels wrong so how.
