Hard to catch everything in pictures, it's insanely populated :)
Lots of great art from all across the EC catalog. Highly recommended for fans of comics, pop culture and horror.

A love that outlasted life and death. What better title to pick for Valentine's movie night?

The 4K steelbook comes with a removable plastic slipcover and is so sexy, I'm afraid Bluesky is gonna slap a label on these here pictures.

A fun movie with great practical effects, Salma Hayek's feet and a great cast (minus the awfully miscast and unconvincing Tarantino). It has aged pretty well and the old Blu-ray, while completely bare bones (not even subtitles), still looks good.

Severin: "we've uncovered this rare print of this Italian movie and meticulously restored..."

Me: "does it have tits and blood?"

Severin: "well, yes, but..."

Me: *buys limited, signed 4K"

Also I realized that the included barf bag was not for the gore, but for the scenes of white people dancing.

One of my least favorite movies in the collection. Generic, boring and predictable. It's like a bad episode from a show that got canceled. I only bought it because I wanted to make a collection of holiday themed slashers.

What a gorgeous steelbook release for a fantastic movie. Gyllenhaal is delivers the sleaziest performance of that year and beyond. His character's enthusiasm is sometimes so engaging that you forget what a total douche he is. If you haven't seen this, rectify it now.

Happy Valentine's day to all of you who need an excuse to buy chocolates. If you really love someone, buy them kale. Fiber is important.

I've seen this so many times... see what I did there?

Anyway, it's a hilarious movie that could have been an episode of Twilight Zone if only they wanted. Murray is great in this, and the groundhog delivers a convincing performance.

No studio makes movies like this anymore. A bunch of well known actors, an established composer, a capable director and a legit soundtrack for a film that just... is what it is. No boardroom of bankers, co-writing the script based on social media algorithms. Nice.

My haul today contains some stuff on paper as well. I was supposed to get two more volumes of Tales from the Crypt, but delivery failed, whatever that means ultimately.

That Crow steelbook is nice. Very nice. And I will show it to you tomorrow. Don't be greedy...

This shit is amazing: brought to you by the genius behind Psycho Goreman and The Void, Steven Kostanski. I can envision 13 year old me walking to the video store to rent this. In the rain. The gore is glorious, the intentional schlock is a treat. Sequel! Now!

Lunch hour at the local sushi place. Time to worship the fat maneki neko god.

Another banger remake that can stand up to its predecessor, coming at us from the maker of Dream Warriors. Adding heavier gore and cool practical effects was the way to go. The cast is excellent and some deaths are really surprising.

Fukasaku is relentless, and his pseudo newsreel style takes you right into the heart of the action. A lot of directors nowadays imitate this type of shaky action cam, but hardly anyone delivers the same poignancy. There's a total of 8 films in this series.

A remake that worked because everyone involved took it seriously. Also, the original is so recognizably 40s and this is so 80s. They both embrace their decades and don't clash. One of the reasons most modern remakes suck is that the last 25 years had no distinct character.

More relevant today than when it came out, this cautionary tale about not putting all power in the hands of machines has aged quite well. It's "War Games" for grown-ups. It doesn't try to please, it just keeps getting meaner. If you liked Andromeda Strain, you'll like this.

New haul is on the shelves. Only one movie I haven't seen before.

The "skin" on Godzilla is textured. Feels nice to the touch. It's unfortunately a bit reflective too, so taking a picture is a bit of a problem.

This thing had Anton Lavey on board as consultant, which is probably why it feels so realistic *sarcasm*. Shatner has resting Michael Myers face and Borgnine's makeup may have been the inspiration for the one worn by Bacon in Toxic Avenger? Crazy fun.

Age verification? I had to rewind porn.

As with any remake, I was reluctant to even see this. The cast is excellent and production values are better than anything else that ever came out of Troma. I think that's also its fault. It looks too good, in a way. I still recommend it. It has a good message.

Bad acting, a mid story, terrible cinematography and cringe dialog; but there are interesting ideas buried in this mess. There's also tons of gore, a pretty good soundtrack and some bloody (syrupy) girl on girl action. Didn't like it as much as Red Lips, but it's OK.

Audiobooks are great when you are too sleepy to read. Somehow I periodically keep getting these promotions on my Amazon account, so I haven't paid for an Audible book in 15 years.

This is a very interesting story. I've heard about Yasuke before, but now I've learned more. Would be a cool movie too.

A fun documentary about the childhood cult classic for many of us.
