Ah man!!

No, the 90 was a remake. I think the original is something like 61. Of course it would be I black and white. I've seen some low budget movies that made it big time. Example being the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. I think about a $500 budget. Franklin in the wheelchair had his pay heck in his shirt pocket when he fell down the hill when trying to pee.

Thrift shops here can't keep em. They sell really well at $1 each here. I buy as many as I can and others buy Alot too as when I return, there's others gone but more always comes in. I love beta but considering how I've only found two in the wild and one was a workout video, beta is more something I have to order when I want them.

Beta is probably much more common than RCA CED videodiscs. Maybe once in thirty years I've ever seen any at a garage sale or flea market.

I've found 3 lots of CED here in the last 3 years and I bought the biggest one. I have close to 100 of theM with a working machine. Since the, there has been a few at one thrift shop where I bought a couple and several more turned up at the Starvation Army. I wasn't interested in any of them. Still, pretty rare in any case.

About twice have I seen CEDs in those type of venues in the last 5 years, but I see them a LOT at the thrift stores...Probably north of 20 times in the last 5 years.

I've gotten around 10 Beta tapes from thrifts in the last few years, and about as many beta decks. Fairly common out here, but it is always a slow trickle of tapes maybe one or two at a time (about half the time inside a deck I bought), lots are hard to come upon except a crate of rentals at a ham fest, and a BUNCH of shrink wrapped blanks, and recorded tapes with a betacam (t'was a granny's rig and the crappy cameraman-ship was comical).

After reading all this, I guess my 25 cent investment, wasn't so bad after all.

Not bad at all. I think I may have paid a buck. A must have in my opinion. I really like the return of the Living Dead but the 2 and 3 of that didn't impress me at all really. Dawn of the dead is great too.

The old movie I thought was far out was the original "Little Shop of Horrors". That one turned out to have a following. I picked up a copy, that was really messed up.
BTW, is it the "Zombie" that doesn't have a reflection.

I have the remake of that movie. 1986 with rick moranis. Your talking about 1960 with Jack Nicholson. Can't say I've ever seen that one. I'll keep a lookout for it.

Vampires can't see themselves in a mirror.

Regarding the Vampires, I don't anyone else can see them either.
I couldn't think of his name, but that was before he became famous. He'd come into the flower shop and buy a flower and eat it. He carried a salt shaker.

The last tape I got was the movie "Where the buffalo roam" (1980)!!

I love the music in it!!!! (Purple haze,etc) -- I have a pure 1984 release (Later releases had the music changed)


ANOTHER GOOD MOVIE RUINED BY THE GREED THAT STARTED IN THE 80s!
