Topic: What'ya got 2007-2013?

[Najemikon]

It cost £35 Jon from HMV so I was pretty happy about that! Lol ive been looking at it for a long time now and I just flipped  

Dammit, it really holds its price! It is an excellent set and worth every penny, but I'm a stingy git and I've been spoilt in the past, like getting the entire Chaplin collection for £25.

  you got Chaplin for £25? I was going to get that a while back but refused to pay £40 for it.

I got it off Ebay. It was someone's unwanted gift I believe, still sealed and had a HMW price tag on of something like £59.

Looks like an awesome set Emma... but can't tell from the picture what it is! 

It is the Ultimate Hammer Horror Box Set its 21 discs im quite exctied about it!

Thanks... I am afraid I am not familiar at all with the Hammer Horror.

Hammer are a UK based production company that produced some pretty awesome horror films between the 50s and 70s Ive not seen all the films in this collection around 8 or 9 but they were very good. Id recommend them to you Pete knowing your a fan of horror... Although :S im not sure of their availability in the US

[addicted2dvd]

Yeah... I just never seen the most of them. The only one I have in my collection... which I at least think is a Hammer Horror is The Satanic Rites of Dracula. Which I watched once when I first got it years ago... but don't really remember all that much about it.

There is some Hammer Horror sets released over here... but nothing like that set that I can find.

Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing were regulars, often teaming up (Lee's Dracula to Cushing's Van Helsing). I just did a quick search on his name on Deep Discount and found this for a mere $8... Double-Bill

That's the first Frankenstein they did, but not the first Dracula. Still, continuity really doesn't matter, they're such fun!

Nice little collection, its been out over here a while so im not sure if it will ever get over there but maybe those sets you have seen have the same films but are broken down into smaller collections?

[Najemikon]

It's impressive they have the relatively rare Prince of Darkness in there, but some other glaring omissions.

Frankenstein created Woman  lol

My absolute favourite was a Hammer TV episode called The Children of the Full Moon, which starred Diana Dors. Anyone else remember this one?

[snowcat]

I have the series on DVD .... is this the episode with Victoria Wood in? If so I liked that XD

They were lost in the woods? :S im so bad with the names of episodes.

yes - thats the one 
Newlyweds get lost in woods, stumble across house with kindly lady (Dors), to find her kids are wolf children 

[snowcat]

Yeah! I remember that one Rich, it is good I quite liked a few episodes... but as I said... terrible with names 

[Touti]

Received this morning from InetVideo.ca

Have you seen this one before, Eric? Be warned it's long and not a huge amount happens, as such. I know you liked Jesse James, so you don't mind a steady approach, but still, better to be forewarned. I look forward to your comments. I reviewed it for the Oscar marathon here.

Come to think of it, you might like The New World too. Just don't listen to Rick or Rick!

No Jon, I've never seen it.  A friend who's 56 told me he found it very good but his 20'ish son didn't so I guess that's good news for me 

[Critter]

I never see HD DVD in store, only blu-ray and normal DVD. Do you get them online?

[snowcat]

Quick question Eric, I collect HD DVDs but have found that they are starting to rise in price, are you finding them cheap on a website ive not thought of looking at?
