Ordered this DVD off Ebay for 99 cents plus shipping.  Sounds like one of those feel good '80s melodramas, but with lots of babes in spandex leotards.

Came into some extra cash and after paying off the bills I went overboard and ordered the following from Amazon for delivery this week...

Well, that clip was a treat for me; I have the original soundtrack recording for MYSTERIOUS ISLAND... Is it true that HERRMANN won the Academy Award only once for THE DEVIL AND DANIEL WEBSTER?  How many times was he nominated?  It is only of historical interest to me, 'cause I tend to be skeptical about awards.  My quick research yielded unclear results.    
I'm listening to MYSTERIOUS ISLAND ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK RECORDING right now! 

Glad you enjoyed the clip!

I believe Herrmann was only nominated five times: 1941 (CITIZEN KANE & THE DEVIL AND DANIEL WEBSTER), 1946 (ANNA AND THE KING OF SIAM), and posthumously in 1976 (TAXI DRIVER & OBSESSION). His infamously abrasive personality, particularly with studio execs and most other film composers, probably contributed to him being largely snubbed by the Academy.

Just got yet another Mills Creek 50 movie pack: Decrepit Crypt of Nightmares.

These are all ultra low budget/no budget backyard-produced Pendulum Pictures releases from the past few years with titles like I DREAM OF DRACULA, PREHISTORIC BIMBOS IN ARMAGEDDON CITY, and, my personal favorite, I HATE YOU.

I've sampled a few scenes and from what I've seen so far these make Polonia Brothers movies look like the latest Spielberg epic. Seriously. Ten minutes of DEMON SLAUGHTER made me pine for the slick professionalism of SON OF INGAGI.

If I can make it through even half of these, I will feel like I have earned my PhD in Badmovieology. I wonder if I'll be able to write prescriptions?

Not recommended for beginners or the faint-of-heart.

It does give hope to all you amateur film makers out there. Maybe Pendulum Pictures will buy your movie and put it on the next edition of Decrepit Crypt of Nightmares!

The Classic Sci-Fi Ultimate Collection Volume 2
Yongary/Konga
Most Extreme Elimination Challenge Season 2
Tintorera
The Fly Collection (The Fly, Return of the Fly, Curse of the Fly)
THe Beast Within/Bat People

Almost all of the above are good deals, but the Best Buy exclusive "Classic Sci-Fi Ultimate Collection Volume 2" is amazing for the price - if you get it from a Best Buy and don't pay the hideous markup some sellers are doing on Amazon and Ebay.

I recently ordered Uninvited (the one about the mutant cat). I've heard so much about it. I cannot wait until it comes in!

I love the film, because it is terribly bad.  Plus, the cat does kill George Kennedy and a funny thing happened the other night.  I was watching "Chosen Survivors" for the first time in like 20 years.  One of the actors was terribly familiar and suddenly I hit upon it:  he played Graham in "Uninvited"

Ska, I was just as pleasantly surprised as you are my friend. I think Vault of Horror had a prior DVD release, because I remember asking myself, "How the Hell did the lesser known title get a release and not Tales From the Friggin' Crypt?!". Just got it today and look forward to watching it soon. 

[Mr_Vindictive]

Tales is one of my favorite anthology films of all time.  I haven't seen Vault Of Horror in a loooong time but I do recall liking it for the most part.  I'll be picking up that DVD release very soon.

On an unrelated subject - Deadly Friend now has a DVD release.  I will certainly be ordering that very soon as well as the robot portions of the film scared the crap out of me when I was younger.
