See where that led

Too many to mention. I love music and horror films so collecting both is one of my main hobbies. There is nothing quite like the feeling tracking down an OOP, rare, or limited edition CD, VHS, or DVD to add to my library. Horror films have been a serious passion for me ever since I was a child. 
I pride myself on my knowledge of horror films.

I pride myself on my knowledge of horror films. Same passion here for horror films. I ain't been quite right since seeing the 'Willy the dummy " episode on the Twilight Zone in the early sixties
I have over five thousand DVDs for rent at my store and almost a third of them are horror/fantasy films. Unfortunately people steal them rather than returning them, so my three disc Canadian Brotherhood of the Wolf is gone, as is the Criterion Salo ( Those who know, know, those who don't , do not ask
). Keeping the longer version of Battle Rayale in stock has been a task too!I used to get a lot of import and OOP films on VHS and later DVD.
Cannibal Holocaust just came back out stateside. I'd had an Asian copy for years and of course the laser disc.
I still have the Japanese laser disc of the Evil dead from '94. Here's a link to another forum I'm in and theior discussion of the various editions of that Bruce Campbell/Sam Rami classic:

And hey, speaking of "Shocker" , ok, well in another thread....... How about " SHock Wave" It's the best of the Nazi Zombie epics!

One of my first horror memories also comes from a dummy! The Richard Attenborough classic Magic. That was one of the first films to scare the living sh*t out of me as a child and for that I will always hold a special place in my heart. I started early with classics like Night Of The Living Dead and the original 1931 Frankenstein then moved on to much more. I had a particular passion for special effects when I was young so I love films with lots of gore. Zombie and slasher films are my favorites. Luckily I had an understanding mom who knew her kid could separate fact from fiction that wasn't afraid of monster or dead things. She didn't mind me reading Fangoria magazine, seeing unrated and R movies, reading horror novels, or reading books about special effects by the likes of Dick Smith and Tom Savini. About the time I was 12 or so we moved to the suburbs and by a large independently owned video store with the coolest owner ever. My mom and I became friends with him and she gave him her permission to rent me any horror film I wanted as long as it wasn't X rated. I was in heaven! That place was my second home. I saw all the classics, exploitation films, mondo films, revenge films, slasher films, zombie films, giallo films, you name it! I can still go there and rent some of the same tapes I did as a kid. 
I still keep the sickness alive to this day as I will forever!

After like 26 years of being out that film is still hard to watch to this day! 
I mean I'm a gorehound but some scenes like the muskrat, monkey, or turtle are just visual torture! 
Not to mention the real footage in The Last Road To Hell sequence. 
One of the best mondos of all time.

All of my hobbies find their way back to my car hobby, even my cooking...All of my art revolves around how I can apply it to cars or bikes, making friends around cars so I can still be social while spending time with my cars, taking trips for an excuse to drive my cars...Okay fine, my hobby might be a sickness...SO???
