Thank you - got

1. The Church
2. The Sect
3. The Mechanic
4. Too Scared to Scream
5. Who will stop the rain ?

Luckily there wasn't anything I needed from Ronin. I have the single disc editions of The Church and The Sect. I dig The Mechanic, but my old MGM DVD is enough for now.

I ordered three of the cheaper ones:

Night of the Cobra Woman
The Cycle Savages
The Beast with 1,000,000 Eyes

I was on the fence on the Shawscope set coming out, but looked at my Target Circle offers and had a $15 off $75 and I bit. Came to $120.03 with taxes after my 5% red card discount on top of it

Demon Wind is almost sold out at Vinegar Syndrome, but I found it for a good price Target online plus 5% red card

Won't they just repress? Doesn't say it's a limited edition

Brian T

I thought their limited edition was the earliest release that had a lenticular slipcover.

Captsmee.00

Not limited edition, but some of the titles “sold out” during the sale and still aren’t available. Not sure if they are losing licenses to some of their catalog or not renewing? It’s almost as good of a price as their half off sale so I jumped on it

Paff

Most of the time when a title sells out forever, they'll have some kind of announcement about it (like the recent permanent sellouts of Trip With the Teacher and Skin Flicks). But sometimes it goes unnoticed; The Candy Tangerine Man, which I picked up at the Halfway sale, is now on their OOP list.

But I've been burned before, when I was new to VS. I saw that they were down to like less than 50 copies of Psychos in Love, I got FOMO, and bought it. And a couple months later, it's back to "over 1000 copies left".

And apparently if you load some things in your cart and proceed to check out but don't actually do it, Paypal will send you an email with an offer for $4 off when you place an order using Paypal. Ymmv on getting the offer. I tried and tried last night then again this morning. I finally received the offer about an hour and a half or so ago. Not sure what triggers getting the offer and the email states that it can only be used once..

Also, they give you a week to place the order and receive the $4 off. I have until Sept. 20 to use it. Debating on placing an order, but the titles I am considering would all be blind buys for me.

SterlingBen

I tried to replicate this, adding when I posted last night but not buying, to no avail.

Edit: Now that I think about it maybe I should try on a different browser. Safari does a lot of tracker blocking...

Double edit: Nevermind. Even though I never got the e-mail the offer was apparently already saved to my PayPal account.

What ar some compelling titles ? TIA

Vampire Circus is good without having too much unattractive sex & violence.

Lots of good stuff not on sale; but the "everyday prices" are pretty high.

I didn't see anything about shipping cost & tax. I'd pay $15 for vampire circus; but not with shipping & tax added to the $15.

darkdaze73

Every time I have ran a trial order through the shipping has been $3.50 regardless of how many titles I have, until I get to $60 that is, then it's free. I haven't seen any tax added myself which has had me a little curious.


After looking around and reading up, these are the 9 I am considering. Any thoughts or suggestions on these? I'm probably only going to pick up 4-6 titles this go round.

Brian T

I have all of those, and can recommend all of them if your tastes lean toward B-movies. Most of them also have excellent supplements, although those individual DEMONS discs don't come with much at all, especially compared to the newer combo packs .

MooMooMooMoo

I just put Vampire Circus in my cart & went through checkout up to "review & payment". Where would I look on Paypal to see if the $4 discount is in my account?

joltman

It shows when you are doing the PayPal Checkout


I couldn't find enough to get to free shipping, so it's nice that the PayPal discount essentially covered the shipping cost for just a couple titles.

I rather enjoy Twins of Evil. It gets slagged because the titular twins were Playboy Playmates (together, first time the magazine did that) yet they barely disrobe in the film. I think there's one brief topless scene, and it's only one of the sisters.

But if you can get past that, it's actually a pretty good late Hammer entry, combining the vampire film (which had grown tiresome at this point) with the still relatively new and more lurid witchhunter genre (Witchfinder General and Mark of the Devil).

And even without nudity, those twins are quite beautiful.

MooMooMooMoo

I went to place my order today. My cart was empty, & no discount on my Paypal acount as shown above. I do not have an account with Cinema Classics, & I can't figure out anyway to create one. Is that the issue? I apparently have 2 days to figure this out.
