Used one of my Christmas gift cards to snag this Christopher Lee set

I mainly got it for Sherlock Holmes and the Deadly Necklace, Challenge of the Devil, Crypt of the Vampire, and the Bonus Disc as I already had The Snake Pit & the Pendulum aka Torture Chamber of Dr. Sadism on a German Mediabook release, and I was disappointed to see that Castle of the Living Dead didn’t have the Italian audio included, but overall I’m glad I got the set.

Some recent acquisitions from some various sources beginning with some crime:

The only film from the Umberto Lenzi/Tomas Milian box set that I didn’t have so that works out well.

Rev1

A little Sergio Sollima with the great Fabio Testi and the always affable Oliver Reed. :wink:

Some Italian horror:

Classic Lucio Fulci that I wasn’t planning on buying since I already have a different release but a guy I know made me an offer I couldn’t refuse.

Plus some Leon Klimovsky that was part of the same offer I couldn’t refuse.

And, finally, some Asian action:

SC

Some Sonny Chiba…

…and some Angela Mao. A pretty cool late Christmas present from the wife’s kid sister.

Nice haul there Amigo, some really cool stuff. I have that edition of Free Hand for a Tough Cop myself, still need to check it out though. That edition of Revolver looks pretty sweet, gonna pick it up eventually too. Paul Naschy was a fine successor to Lon Chaney Jr. as the Wolfman (he did offer the part to Chaney originally, but he declined due to his age and health), and an icon who I don’t think is talked about enough like many of his contemporaries. You can never go wrong with Martial Arts style cinema.

I have that edition of Free Hand for a Tough Cop as well. Gonna pick up that Severin box regardless. Paul Naschy is a legend for sure.

Yeah, I tell myself that I won’t buy it now but I am sure that if I have a chance at a deal on it at some point that I won’t be able to resist. :laughing:

Some good Blu-ray buys for cheapo prices…

I was very pleased to find a copy of ‘Outland’ on BD for only £1. One of my fav sci-fi films - basically a ‘High Noon’ in space…

Some gory but good horror flics…

Oh wow. What’s in there


Some very sleezy and saucy Hong Kong exploitation films, all starring Anthony Wong. Right up my alley!

Fancied watching the cartoon I used to like when I was a kid again. Still haven’t watched The Batman yet…will probably watch them at the same time.

Today, I completed the most complicated three party movie trade in history. I would make a video outlining the whole process but first I would need a white board, two packs of Post-it notes, and a skein of red yarn. In the end, I walked away with this Blu-ray set - new and still in wrapper:
