Some say Psycho, or Peeping Tom. I'm not really part of the discussion, but I find it interesting to hear other people's thoughts.

Some would argue that this is the first slasher, some would say there was stuff before it; I say it's an excellent genre achievement by a director who deserves more recognition. I'll be revisiting this in December...

That's a good question. I have never seen Hanzo anywhere aside from the DVDs, the first of which turned out to be a bootleg and doesn't work. Zatoichi had moved from Hulu to HBO, but your safest bet now might be the Criterion streaming channel. I've been waiting for a Hanzo bluray release for years.

Lovecraftian madness with a great cast and fun effects. Definitely one of Gordon's best entries. Also Barbara Crampton could melt steel beams...

Haha. Yeah, I get the sentiment.

A great set for the money with a nice cover too. The first one is legendary; the sequels are fun. I don't hate the fourth installment nearly as much as most people seem to do, but I understand their disappointment. To me it's just another Jinn.

Green Lantern Rebirth number 1, signed by Geoff Johns. His run will always be my personal favorite.

I don't really remember. I've seen it two years ago the last time.

I really liked this when it was released, but now I feel like the Romero version actually aged better. It's an absolute, memorable genre classic, while this remake is just a fun watch.

An early piece from my collection that is due for a rewatch.

A mostly forgettable and quite tame movie for Joe D'Amato. If you expect full frontal nudity and a shark that roams the ocean like some crazy food processor, you'll be disappointed. Unless you are a collector of this subgenre, you can skip it.

A crazy fun movie about a guy who lost his job and meets a woman who gets wetter than a fountain when aroused. You'll hardly see anything similar...

Henenlotter had a string of great movies. I really like his stuff.

A fantastic film, based on an amazing book. The protagonist is trapped in a weird village, in a sand pit with no way out. The sand is a character, an ancient monster, consuming everything in its path; and Teshigahara films it without equal. A must see masterpiece of world cinema.

Spawn 43, signed by Greg Capullo; and the figure based on it. I lost the bats though. I hauled that huge thing all the way from Italy for some reason...

I meant to say five miles total since then :)

I'm still running 5 miles since 2008.

I have started this years ago, but never saw the last entry. Time to rectify this. Re-watching the first volume with parts one and two, then on to the second one. It's a beautiful box set with foil details and nice art.

Three family friendly entries by Herschell Gordon Lewis. It's not the most lavish release, but a decent set if you want weird shit for a Saturday night movie marathon.

A Swedish horror from 1921 that belongs in every collection; if only for the historical value. It's an interesting watch with old time effects, but it is always interesting to see how the genre evolved from the early days.
