Lifelong fan of Horror, Punk, Heavy Metal, Blu-Rays and biscuits. Slight foxing, otherwise VG.
Day off work. 3 stories in and i'm liking this anthology from @helleborezine.bsky.social a lot.

Five for a Pound DVDs of Halloween Day 5.
Exorcist II: The Heretic (1977)
You've seen it. Hilariously bad in places. Great visuals. Great Morricone score. Essential for all the wrong reasons. Wish I'd kept that rare Making of paperback though. The End. Or is it ? Yes.

Five for a Pound DVDs of Halloween Day 4.
Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile (2019)
I don't think I've ever seen a true crime serial killer flick that I didn't like. Zac Effron is great as Ted Bundy. I didn't recognize Hayley Joel Osment. James Hetfield from Metallica is a cop! Recommended.

Five for a Pound DVDs of Halloween Day 3.
Half Light (2006)
Demi Moore stars as a thriller writer who moves to a Scottish village after her son drowns. Okay ghost story/murder mystery made for people that don't really like horror films. Worth a look.

Five for a Pound DVDs of Halloween Day 2.
From Within (2008)
Revenge curse becomes a virus. Obviously influenced by J-Horror and It Follows. Not bad at all.

Five for a Pound DVDs of Halloween Day 1.
Long Time Dead (2002).
Some UK soap actors and Lukas Haas use a Ouija board to ressurect an evil Djinn. Dismal.

Finally. That feeling of satisfaction that wears off the day after you complete a collection of anything.

£2 each. Maybe the best and definitely the worst #Elvis albums in one go. #elvispresley #vinyl #vinylcommunity

Spasms (1983). Oliver Reed takes this giant snake on the loose flick up a notch. A few good cheesy effects. No one explodes though. Free on Youknowwhotube.

Charity shop BluRay lot. Not much horror in there though.
