Where To Buy Horror Movies?
 

Hello everyone. I've been looking for a place to get physical copies of horror movies and am curious to see if anyone has any places to get a good deal. Internet stores would be preferred, but any suggestions are welcome.

i usually find the best deals and hidden treasures at opp shops the wharehouse(wall mart) and trademe(e bay).but i must admit i find it hard to find some of the movies i really want. living in nz i find it hard to justify the cost of buying from an internet site with added shipping and all that.iv only been as far as oz but i can imagine it would be a piece of piss finding shops with a good range of movies.

I usually buy mine used from Newbury Comics in Cambridge/Boston, MA but you can find lots of movies for really cheap on Amazon if you just buy them used- this is if you live in the US.

Yeah, online is the best for price/variety. Some store chains set up special horror displays around this time of year with bundled films for a good deal so look out for those. :cool:

I collect a lot of DVDs, and like people have said already, online is almost always the best place to buy.

ya reckon?even if they have to ship them all the way to the crevice of the ars crack end of the world

I like Amazon.com. I think that Movies Unlimited believes that I have passed on.

E bay as well.

I look all over. I don't really have a lot of store big stores around besides Walmart I've found a couple cool things there. I go to thrift stores too and EBAY<3 just ordered halloween 1 and 2 the rob zombie ones devils rejects and a DVD of Halloween episodes of nickalodeon shows !

amazon.co.uk only charges round $8 NZD for shipping. You'd end up paying round $5 for someone to send in within NZ so shipping isn't that bad. wowhd.co.nz has free shipping.

yeah but ya still have to pay 20 or more bux for the dvd usually.cant really justify that when ya could just pirate it.

stoaked you mentioned that wowhd,you told me about that awhile ago but then i got a new lappy and forgot what the site was called,kept searching just "wow" :rolleyes:

Physical Copies
 

Well I wish to start a dvd collection so pirating them won't really work for me.

well that why you do all the other suggestions

Yeah I will they're good suggestions, just wanted to specify what exactly I meant.

Ex rental discs are generally cheap as, just be sure you dont get discs that are scratched to fuck. You can get a decent amount of modern horror films that way for little cost, for the older films ebay and amazon are pretty solid.

I've found that diving through the clearance bins at the mall is the best method. Getting really good, new dvds for $4.99.

I think you should try hulu, Netflix and there are lots of other stuffs to buy movie online. So Try all this you will get the right way to buy movies.

Yep, my favorite place is the $5 bin at WalMart.

but not all of us live in america

Gee, I thought WalMart was everywhere!

probably thought we still ride around on horses in nz too.... ignorant american



na,just being a douche

I get mine from Half-Priced Books, The Exchange, or Disc Replay. Look for used bookstores, many times they will have a used dvd section. Obviously, used dvd stores like Disc Replay or Disc Go Round. Flea markets and pawn shops are great places too. If you don't mind paying the price, Barnes & Nobles can be a great place to find classic and cult classic horror films, they will order movies for you too if they don't carry the title you're looking for. Same goes for online buying, if you don't mind the price or don't have a choice, you can pretty much find anything you are looking for. I prefer the shops as opposed to online but I think its just because I enjoy the hunt and find aspect of that kind of buying, it can be really gratifying when you find those hard to find classics, plus it can be a lot cheaper.

I check the Salvation Army whenever I'm there. Depending what color tag is on sale I've found some interesting vhs videos anywhere from twenty-five to fifty cents, like Ed Wood's GLEN OR GLENDA and the French THE GIRL ON A BRIDGE. All depends who donates what.

For online, Amazon.com seems to be a cut above any other online source. Half Priced Books is a good choice for physical location if you have one in your city. Other than that, if you have a comic book shop in your town, they usually good about carrying gently used movies (at least the comic book stores in this area).

I collect the SHIT out of DVDs so let me give a few suggestions

depending on where you live

Big Lots is surprisingly awesome for finding stuff to complete a series for pretty cheap, stuff like Friday the 13th... franchises, things of that sort. I don't think I've ever paid over $5 for anything they've had. They usually have a pretty good selection this time of year. Some stuff I was surprised they had, "Thirst" and "Otis" never thought to find those there $3 each... Sadly I already owned them

Walmart.com... Seriously they have pretty sweet deals.

If you don't mind paying to import things normally OOP in the states go to www.dtm.at think they are based out of Austria so you'll pay like $20 in shipping but I found stuff I've been looking for for YEARS there. You'll need a region free dvd player though.

Also try Diabolikdvd.com, sometimes over priced on things but it's very likely they'll have what you're looking for

Also, Pawn shops. I've found some great stuff in pawn shops and generally stop at any new ones I pass.

hope this helps.

oops forgot to mention SecondSpin.com crazy low prices. I was somewhat nervous to place an order because of how cheap everything was priced, but I have an order on the way. Will let you know how that turns out.
