Some decent titles on there. Esp. the Sleepaway camp flicks which I already have.
Picked up the following, all blind buys. Figure they're worth a watch, and I'm a sucker for cheesy horror. (I haven't heard of 2 of those)
DDABD012736D CHEERLEADER CAMP 1 $4.99
DDABD013282D PUPPETMASTER VS DEMONIC TOYS 1 $4.99
DDABD011117D KENTUCKY FRIED MOVIE 1 $4.99
DDABD011738D RETURN TO HORROR HIGH 1 $4.99

ENDLESS NIGHT
INFERNO
SHOCK
If you like classic Hammer check out CIRCUS OF HORRORS. If you've never seen it, ROAD GAMES with Stacy Keach and Jamie Lee Curtis is a pretty good horror film.

The Argento stuff is tempting but I think I'll pass for now.

Yesterday I went through the $4.99 titles, and 99% of them I've never heard of, including Near Dark. I put it at the top of my list to check this morning, and if I had known Bill Paxton, Lance Henriksen, and Jennette Goldstein were in it playing vampires, I would've ordered it last night. Now it's too expensive, so it's hasta la vista baby on this title. Too bad DDD couldn't have waited just another half day before they caught that error (as if I'd know what is or isn't an error). Unfortunately I can't spend all day every day doing nothing but researching DVDs I've never heard of. Things like that have to get saved until the weekend.
I guess all those price drops to $4.99 in another thread about DDD means that Soul Man should remain at $4.99 until the next 20% off sale?

NEAR DARK (2D) PREORDER 1 $4.99 0 ~05/16/06
DDD has a pretty good track record on things like this, so I don't expect a problem. Looking forward to this one--blind buy for me.

Near Dark is showing 4.99 for me.
: NEAR DARK (2D)
* This item is a price-drop. It will ship to arrive on or around the scheduled
release date. $ 4.99 x = $ 4.99"

I can't believe Near Dark 2-Disc is only 4.99! I'd buy another one if the one I bought for $20 wasn't still sitting in the unwatched bin. I saw it on VHS when it first came out. Similary Shock,Parasite and Inferno have been sitting on the shelf for at least a year. The Boys Next Door is another good one. I saw on video 15 or 20 years ago and liked it a lot. I was thinking of renting it, but for $5, I might as well buy it.

I'm so glad I checked this thread again. I can say with certainty that when I saw the post saying Near Dark (2D) had been raised from $4.99 to over $10 this morning, I checked DDD (both by searching on Near Dark and by going through the $4.99 titles) and it was indeed $10.xx. Well, after seeing people post it's back to $4.99, sure enough it is. How strange that DDD raised the price and re-lowered it. I wonder if people complained and DDD relented or if it wasn't a price error.
This time I didn't let it get away, so I quickly ordered it along with Soul Man at $4.99 each. I probably should've saved Soul Man for the 20% off sale to get it for $4, but who knows which of these "price drops" are legitimate vs. errors. So Near Dark will be a blind buy, but the reviews on it make it sound like a good gamble for $4.99.
The DDD description says 2 DVDs for Near Dark, DVD-Basen only shows a 2 Disc edition in the reviews, and DVD Price Search only shows a 2 DVD edition, so I don't know where the 1 DVD edition can be found. I printed out the page on DDD, so they'd better not send a 1 DVD edition or cancel the order saying it was a misprice.

Ha, check this out:

Not a good deal since it's only $4.99 new, but just something interesting.

While it seems a lot of these are indeed price drops (some, though not all, of the titles list at $9.99 at Amazon as well), the 50% pff still makes this a terrific deal.
Chances are they'll be up to $6.99 by the time the 10% off sale rolls around so I doubt you'll be getting a better deal then...and at least you'll have 'em now!
