10. Popcorn (1991)

So many good ones on there especially 3,4,5,7 and 10

I nearly wet myself when I read this list of movies only to look online and this is a UK set.

I went back and read a few of his posts. Yikes!  :buggedout: Was this guy Alice Cooper's Daughter's PR man? P.S. Dancing in your father's show isn't making it, it's called nepotism.

As for the topic, I use to buy these  collections a lot at suncoast usually for dirt cheap. However I got burned too many times, and rarely enjoyed any of these cheapos. So I stopped buying. 

However these collections taught me how much of a B movie star Cameron Mitchell was. He didn't just play Santa Clause in Space Mutiny :teddyr:

I'm a sucker for those 10, 20, 30, or 50 movies packs.  The three or four ones are more iffy, but in the larger collections, I have always found some gem that I probably wuldn't have found any other way and don't regret buying any of them. 

I just wish I didn't own half a dozen copies of Night of the Living Dead.

I know that feeling been trying to get some movies on DVD and seems some, especially, some Spaghetti Westerns are only available in these sets.  I now have about 5 copies of His Name is King trying to get other movies in sets. 
Ah, the good old days.

I've got "Leprecaun" on The Leprecaun collection and on another collection with "Pumkinhead 2" and two "Wishmaster" movies. Why not the first "Pumpkinhead" instead. Must have been a legal issue.

I picked up the Midnight Horror Bloody Slashers collection. 
It has Hoboken Hollow, Secrets of the Clown, Room 33, and Curtains in it. 

So far I've only watched Hoboken and it was a pretty dull movie.  No real action of suspense just a lot of dull boring characters torturing a lot of other dull boring characters, none of which are really sympathetic or in any way interesting.  Also the film stock seems to randomly switch.  Sometimes it was grainy for a while, sometimes it wasn't.  There didn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to this.

Yeah, did get around it seemed rather dull when I was paying attention.  I have to revise and say Curtains is probably the best in the set.  It works well but feels made for TV.

Multi pack collections are a good way to see bad movies, because they aren't gonna let you have the good stuff cheap. Sometimes it can be disappointing if you think it's going to be good. I got the "Hammer Horror Series" (not to be mistaken with the "Hammer House of Horror" TV series) on DVD and it was far from Hammer's best movies. It only had one Frankenstein and "Dracula's Bride's" had no Dracula in it. The other movie's had none of the iconic monsters. However, the 4 Film Favorites: Dracula DVD had four of the best Hammer Dracula's. "Horror of Dracula" "Taste the Blood of Dracula" "Dracula has From The Grave" and "Dracula A.D. 1972." Not bad for five bucks.
