Here's all the shizz I'm looking for, from rare to strange, inexpensive to unobtainable!
Basket Case (70016-88)
- I think Basket Case is fairly well known these days, it’s an incredibly strange and awesome movie by legendary director Frank Henenlotter. This particular release has just such a fantastic cover I can’t help but lust after it.

The Beyond (DLZ-0117)
- I consider Lucio Fulci's The Beyond to be a major accomplishment in horror cinema, and this is just a really god damn cool release of it. This film only ever had two LD releases, this one and one put out by E.C. Entertainment . The cover of this release is just STUNNING, and I dig the fact that it’s a Japanese release of an Italian film.

The Gates of Hell: Collector's Special Edition (00LS 34~5)
- Fulci's Gates of Hell (better known as City of the Living Dead) is a fucking badass movie and this release is just as badass as the film itself. Put out by Sony, it includes two discs, the first containing the film in English and second containing the film in Italian, as well as a piece of 35mm film from an original theatrical print. This film only ever had two LD releases, this one and one put out by E.C. Entertainment . P.S. I actually bid on a copy on Ebay a bit ago and lost by $2.50. I’m totally not furious about that at all!

The House by the Cemetery (DLZ-0118)
- So, in browsing my site you may have noticed I’m a bit of a Lucio Fulci nut, and this is just business as usual; A killer Japanese release of House by the Cemetery (which would pair great with the Japanese release of The Beyond). This film only ever had two LD releases, this one and one put out by E.C. Entertainment . Admittedly I think the cover of this release is kinda lame, but regardless, I gotta have it.

Meet the Feebles (DFE 975001LD)
- Ok, like? Meet the Feebles is like, the coolest movie ever? For some reason I assumed it didn’t have an LD release and a few weeks ago I was blessed (and cursed) with the knowledge that Germany's own Dragon Film Entertainment of all publishers DID PUT IT OUT! AND IT’S PAL! AND SUPER EXPENSIVE! AND LIMITED TO 500 COPIES! CUZ FUCK ME, RIGHT?!?!? Heidi the Hippo is such a queen <3

Sanguelia: Collector's Special (00LS 15~16)
- Soooooo... this is a case of "if you know you know". This is Sony Video Software's release of Fulci's Zombie/ZOMBI 2 and it includes two discs, the first containing the film in English and second containing the film in Italian, as well as a piece of 35mm film from an original theatrical print. Oh, and did I mention a pricetag of like $400 - $1k?! YIKES! But I still really want it...

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: Ultimate Version (STLI-3033)
- A badass Japanese boxset of one of THE BEST horror films ever dreamt up? Yes please! The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: Ultimate Version was put out by BEAM Entertainment ( I own a handful of their other horror boxsets & titles, and all of them thoroughly impress me) and has a really killer PitArt disc (esentially a blank disc with etched artwork).

|
Zombie Holocaust (DFE 985012LD)
- Some grade A garbage from Dragon Film Entertainment, Zombie Holocaust (perhaps better known as Doctor Butcher M.D.) is a great example of Italian exploitation cinema and is super laaaaame. But it's got both zombies AND cannibals! Holy f*ck! Oh, did I mention this and Street Trash are the only two NTSC releases from Dragon?
