Hot Shaun/Dawn of the Dead 2 pack at K-Mart
K-Mart has it for $15, along with The Terminal & Catch Me if You Can, Van Helsing and The Mummy and Pitch Black/Chronicles of Riddick. They're in this week's flyer, so you should be able to price match.

Is the director's cut really all that worth it? I figure since I can usually only find "Shaun" for $17 and up, this would be a great bargain.

Awesome find OP! There wasn't a K-Mart close to me, so I stopped by the nearest Best Buy on my way to work. Price-matched for both Shaun of the Dead/Dawn of the Dead and Pitch Black/Chronicles of Riddick. $34 and change out the door.
On a side note, is it just me...or are many of the employees at Best Buy total snobs? The guy who rang up my order tried to weasel out of it numerous times. First he said there was no start date on the K-Mart sale. I mentioned to him that the ad was in today's paper, so it must have started today. I then showed him that the sale prices were good through Feb. 3rd. He just kind of shrugged, as if to give me the impression that I wasn't going to get the deal. Then he went and got the manager who was really cool. He quickly glanced at the ad and said to give me the four DVD's for $7.50 each, just like K-Mart had advertised. The snotty little employee kept making little groaning noises as he was ringing my stuff up and saying how I was getting a really good deal. Well no sh**! Dumbass. What does he care if I get the DVD's for a good deal. I mean, it was a good deal. The DVD's rang up for a total of $86 and change before the price-match. The only reason I even went to Best Buy was because I had a gift card. I don't think I'll be going back to Best Buy for quite some time.

I ventured out into the post-ice storm weather to K-Mart for this deal and they actually had it! This is the first time in recent memory (possibly ever) that K-Mart had an advertised DVD deal in stock. They had all of the advertised 2-packs, but I only wanted the "Dawn/Shaun" set, as that's a great price for the unrated "Dawn" and "Shaun".
