I might have to swing by and check this out. I wouldn't mind grabbing that Psycho triple feature.

Saw the display yesterday.

They had quite a few triple features; one I remember had Carrie, Prom Night II, and one other that I can't recall.

Most of the lenticular cases looked kind of cool.

I've been watching for some cheap Halloween promotions. Unfortunately, a lot of stores still don't have anything yet, or they do, but everythings still relatively high priced. Looking for some $5 bargain displays!

I bought Pet Sematary CE and Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 (Gruesome Edition) both had lenticular covers, GE was only $7.50.

My Wal-mart had a bunch of movies in the $5 bin that I don't think were supposed to be.
Invasion of the Body Snatchers ('78 collectors edition)
Carrie
Dead-Alive
(I think) all of the friday the 13th movies except jason goes to hell and jason x
There were a few more, but there were a lot of copies of them. They rang up for 10 something and the cashier fixed it for me.

Me too. I missed out on the $3 Bubba-ho-tep at Big Lots and would also like to find Shaun of the Dead for around $5 (even though it's $6.99 at BB right now and if I don't see it on sale soon, I'll just take the plunge and get it.)

There are still plenty of copies of Bubba Ho-Tep at Big Lots around here.

PEOPLE UNDER THE STAIRS / SHOCKER double feature

This would be the only one I want to get, but if it's a flipper or not anamorphic, I'll pass.

I picked it up at Wal Mart for 9 bucks today. It's two discs and the package says anamorphic.

Now I just need to order Jason Goes to Hell

I guess paramount is making a new boxest because the last one sucked and didn't have the last 3 movies. Maybe I should return these.

August 8, 2008 - Our colleagues over at Dread Central and CHUD are reporting on rumors from within Paramount that the studio is planning a revamped Friday the 13th box set to coincide with the release of the upcoming remake. CHUD further states that the set will consist of the first eight chapters in the series and exclude Jason Goes to Hell, Jason X and Freddy vs. Jason. No word yet on the features, though Dread Central states that "a lot" is being planned.
Maybe I will hang onto them. I doubt the boxset will be less than 40 bucks. The only thing I would be intrerested in is if it has better transfers and audio. It will porbally just be supplements which I don't give a rat's ass about.

I picked up an extra Bubba Ho-Tep (sealed) in case someone really wanted it. Interested in trade?

if you picked up carrie at big lots, its prob the made for tv remake and not the original brian depalma version. I made the same mistake.

At my Wal-Mart they had the display, pretty lame this year, I am hoping they put out more as we get closer to Halloween. But anyway, they had the Psycho 2,3,4 triple feature, and in the aisle directly across from it, they had the same triple feature with a different cover for $3 less. It was in an endcap with a bunch of double and triple features. So if you are considering that one, turn around and you might get a better deal

walmart is a great place to get those double and triple feature sets. I have bought others there. There was one set with all 3 crocodile dundee films. a set of conan the barbarian 1 and 2, prob the best set I bought was one that I think is out of print by now of all 4 lethal weapon films all in widescreen and 1 through 3 being all the extended cuts.

I looked yesterday and didn't see any. They had a single copy each of the Friday the 13th Parts 2-4, and 8 in the $5 display in the electronics department.

I didn't go through the $5 dump bin at the front of the store since it's 90% Spanish-language crap, and if I could find anything in it that I wanted it would be beaten to shit.

My local stores have separate English and Spanish language dump bins.

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned before in another thread but i was at my local Walmart today and saw the Hellraiser - 20th Anniversary Edition for only $9 it was however not located in the horror display surprisingly yet but there were a few copies there along with others in the $9 and $13 section. Nothing else that was put out new was tempting except for Hellraiser 20th for $9 when it goes for $19.99 at best buy.

I don't know if this has been mentioned but my Walmart had Halloween 2,4,and 5 for $5 in the $5 display. Along with the Halloween titles I saw the Psycho trilogy along with Nightmare on Elm Street titles of 3,4 and 5.

Same at mine. Eastern in Las vegas. Halloween 2 3 All Friday the 13ths pretty much and all Elm Streets 5 bucks each. Also had a halloween 3 pack box set with part 6 h20 and the busta rhymes one. Also had a Boogeyman 1 and 2 double feature the old 80's version. Never seen that before. Cool stuff.

My walmart in UNion City didnt have ANYTHING, which is typical of that store. Pretty much the most ghetto WM in the world probably. Does the new lenticular covers come as slipcases or just an insert in the shrinkwrap?

This was at the Walmart in Lancaster, CA.

It was on permanent shelfing just like the horror display. I was really shocked that they had Toxic Avenger and made sure to grab that right away.

There's some Dimension Extreme titles in the $5 section now, Nightmare Detective and Buried Alive. I picked up ND, already have BA (which is decent, worth $5). Also picked up The Gathering for $5. Been waiting on a price drop on this one for quite a while.

There were also some more Dimension Extreme titles in the $13 section. They were Wizard Of Gore, Automaton Transfusion (own it, horrible film), Black Sheep (this one was $9), maybe a few others, can't remember.

Saw a horror display at Wal-Mart the other day with a bunch of DVDs. It was a 4-sided cardboard display in with the Halloween costumes and decorations. One side of the display had DVDs... mostly Saw, Masters of Horror, and a few other assorted horror titles.

Not a whole lot of interest to me, though, as I already own most of the titles they had that I would want.

Josh-da-man
10-09-08, 08:39 PM
Before you guys buy any Dimension Extreme titles at Wal-Mart, you might want to make sure that you're getting the version you want.

I noticed "Mother of Tears" at Wal-Mart, but it was R-rated. There is an UNRATED version available just about everywhere else.

I noticed "Mother of Tears" at Wal-Mart, but it was R-rated. There is an UNRATED version available just about everywhere else.I noticed this too late, unfortunately. Since there was only one version for sale online, I assumed they'd all be the same version instore when I picked this up on release day.

I've bought other unrated DVDs at Wal-Mart, so why would they not be carrying this one? I'm royally pissed, but I can't return it since I've already watched the thing. It's my own fault for not paying better attention. The back cover is different as well - there is a picture of Asia Argento and it shows a 100 minute running time.

They had alot of horror selections on the end shelf of the "current but not new release" shelf. I'm not sure how to explain that. But usually movies from like a year ago that they only have full screen of now. Then right across from that on an end shelf is a selection of more "sci-fi thrillers" like Invasion of the Body Snatchers and the older War of the Worlds. Also movies like Attack of the 50ft Woman, and I thought I could remember the rest of the titles but I can't. But they were super campy looking and I was suprised to find them at walmart. Sorry if someone mentioned this before but they also have the one Child's Play/Chucky box set. The newer one where he looks popped out. I think it was about $14.
