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.

I need to see Deadly Friend in order to excise the fragments of the theme song stuck in my head.

DEMONS  (anamorphic widescreen reissue)

DEMONS 2   (anamorphic widescreen reissue)

I got The Fog (1980) for 5 bucks at Wal-Mart.  They've got a bunch of cheap 5 dollar films out for Halloween, even though a handful aren't horror flicks.  From off the top of my head here's what they had:

Alligator People
Pet Semetary 2
Night Shift
The Dead Zone
Frankenstein Unbound
The Legend of Hell House
Lifeboat
Friday the 13th (parts 1-8 I think)
Breeders (1986)
House of the Damned
The Day the Earth Stood Still
Club Dread

There are a few more, but that's all I remember.

  I ordered Weasels Rip My Flesh from Borders bookstore last night.  I have heard it is really bad; and I'm looking forward to it!

Good luck!  I've resisted the temptation to buy it so far.  I keep spotting it for really cheap and that's what tempts me.

PLANET OF DINOSAURS arrived in the mail yesterday - all I can say in short is that Retromedia's DVD absolutely blows.

Should be getting the YONGARY/KONGA disc in early next week.

Kindest regards,

Thanks for the Planet of Dinosaurs review!  Initially I was thrilled to hear about this DVD, but now I don't think I'll be buying it.

Man, that is a killer music haul.  I have Group Sex on a CD re-release and it's awesome.  Circle Jerks are one of those bands that seem to encompass an entire era in their music.  When I think 80s punk, I think Circle Jerks.

Silent Night, Bloody Night is a favorite of mine.   I picked up a copy of it in a DVD set for about .50 cents or so.  There is a lot of strangeness contained within the film, and I love the twist that they unveil towards the end.  Very underrated and overlooked slasher.

I watched the SILENT NIGHT,BLOODY NIGHT late last night...and it was defintly NOT what I expected! Thinking I had bought a standerd low budget slasher flik, I discovered a early'70's weird-ass film...full of bizzare twists and haunting madhouse scenes done in sepia tones...and the first killing came as a nice bloody surprize! A good movie-that is well worth more than a single veiwing!

The YONGARY/KONGA double feature disc from MGM arrived today.

KONGA is a terrible little film and I doubt that side of the dual sided/single layered flipper will be getting much use - as others around the web have stated, this is exactly the same as the individual release of KONGA a while back.

As for YONGARY - the menu design is atrocious and, aside from a variety of dub and subtitle options (the original Korean audio is apparently lost), the disc is bare bones.  But the print, my god, the print!  The new 2.35:1 transfer is utterly fantastic - with strong colors and contrast and little, if any, damage.

After the disappointment of the new PLANET OF DINOSAURS disc, this one is a real pick-me-up.

I've got a soft spot for Konga. There is something about it I like. Maybe Michael Gough's spit-flying, over the top performance.

Just bought some films at Walmart. Spaghetti Westerns I believe. Heres a short film on my recent trip to Walmart.

Recently nabbed Canibal Ferox (VHS) and on a whim grabbed one called Silip. Don't know exactly why other than it looked bad. Has anyone ever seen that one? It only cost me 7$ so I shouldent be out either way

I just got hit with a triple whammy of:

Emanuelle and the last cannibals
Emanuelle in America
Emanuelle Around The World

I'm planning a series of reviews of them for my site.  All of them completely uncut, all of them completely sleazy and deeply troubling.  I can never seem to reconcile with the arousing beauty of Laura Gemser juxtaposed by Joe D'Amato's insistence of filling the scenes between her nudity with bestiality and brutal violence.  I guess I'd call the Black Emanuelle series pornography for misanthropes.
