On my way home from work this morning I stopped by a yard sale. Nothing too appealing, loads of baby clothes, which seems to be the point of most family yard sales. Just as I was about leave, a fleet of guys carrying boxes came from the garage.
Horror tapes, a shitload, for only a buck a piece! Folks, I almost shat myself. I didn't get them all, lots of stuff commonly found on DVD, but in the end I walked away with one of the coolest finds I ever stumbled upon.
24 Anchor Bay tapes with most belonging to the Hammer Horror Collection, even the English and German versions of Herzog's Nosferatu and complete Ilsa series:
A few SWVs and other oddities (finally found the Thorn/EMI ROLD clamshell) :
Some MGM Midnite Movies and F13s:
Bunch of randoms (went apeshit here, but they're nearly all in like new shape)
Then I went over to the swap meet and found a few (Foxy Oil Wrestling...mmmmmmmm)

dude, this article is like one of those "Penthouse Letters" entries, where the guy writes "I never thought this would happen to me, but..." - only in this case, intended specifically for horror collector-nerds. Nice picks!! Congrats!
Wow. Big score - ROTLD, the Fridays, Phantasm 2, Surf Nazis Must Die.
Never saw Up From the Depths, so I need to find that one being a shark movie enthusiast and all.
Dammit, having trouble finding space!
good grief man. the world revolves around you.
Wow, congratulations. I bet you ruined your undies after that score.
Good God! I need to go to yard sales more often. Awesome finds!
"Dammit, having trouble finding space!"
How do you organize your VHS? Anything like how you do for DVD/Blu-ray or do you just keep them in boxes or piled up in a corner?
I thought I was the only one who still bought VHS. :P
I have a large closet...packed.
tickles my pink...
good find!
I love these stories! Not only Return of the Living Dead, but also Motorpsycho! Ultra sweet.
