My fourth and fifth auction wins on Listia!

Two more free DVDs from Listia arrived yesterday!


I Know Who Killed Me (2007)

Lindsay Lohan!

"A young girl who was missing reappears, but she claims to be someone else entirely."

I think we all know why I wanted this: LINDSAY LOHAN! She's gorgeous.

The movie itself is a bit stupid and far-fetched, but I don't even care.

And...

Unrest (2006)

"One of the 8 Films to Die For". Still sealed.

"A young pathology med student suspects that the spirit of a dead cadaver in the hospital morgue where she works is killing off all those who handle or desecrate the body."

According to the IMDb, some fuss was made about this movie at the time because it contains real dead bodies. I don't remember a thing about watching it seven years ago though. I just got it for the sake of having it for nothing.

My second and third auction wins on Listia!

I did it again! I got two more free DVDs from Listia which I really wanted.

One arrived last Friday, and the other was delivered only a few minutes ago. They make me almost happy!

Aw, who am I kidding? They make me ECSTATIC! I feel very lucky, and I'm pleased to have both in my collection.


Jacqueline Hyde (2005)

Unrated version!

Rolfe Kanefsky's B movie masterpiece starring Gabriella Hall as Jackie Hyde and BLYTHE METZ (on the left) as the titular character. Finally, I have the unrated version!
Review: here or click the picture above.

And...

Doctor Blood's Coffin (1961)

Probably a bootleg.

Sidney J. Furie's Hammer-esque Frankenstein genre movie which this very blog is named after. Having never heard of "Cheezy Flicks" before, I'm sure this is a bootleg, but I don't care! It was FREE!

My first auction wins on Listia!

Yeah, you knew it would happen. I joined Listia to get rid of stuff and ended up getting more. I can't help it, I have a DVD collecting mental illness or something.

Anyway, my first wins arrived this morning. As you can see, I have another Echo Bridge Home Entertainment multipack of crap to review at a later date (probably next week) and a PD Laurel and Hardy film without its original case.

Here we go again!

I've already seen "Memory" (2006) and "Darkness" (2002), but I haven't seen the other four yet. That's four horror movies which I've never heard of for absolutely nothing, so where the risk? One of them might even be good.

The pack is still sealed, so it's just like having a new one. If it hadn't been offered on Listia, I probably wouldn't have gone out of my way to buy it at Kmart or anything though.

WTF is up with those fonts? Why is "THE" so different?

The second DVD obviously isn't horror. "The Flying Deuces" (1939) is now the first Laurel and Hardy movie which I've ever owned a physical copy of. I really want the "Ultimate Collection" which I've seen in Sam's Club, but it's never likely to happen because I'm poor. I don't care who knows it, I own practically nothing but DVDs, two ex-shelter cats, and four jars of toenail clippings. Woe is me!

As somebody with no sense of humour, Laurel and Hardy movies are the only things which I find funny. I have no explanation for why that is other than because they are just so perfectly timed. Maybe it's because Stan Laurel was English? I dunno.

I've already seen "The Flying Deuces" dozens of times, and it's not my favourite, but it'll have to do for now. It's actually a remake of their "Beau Hunks" short from 1931, and to be honest, I prefer the earlier version. I'm not going to review it anyway.

If you want some free stuff, click the banner below to join Listia. I will be putting some of my unwanted DVDs on there eventually, but there are thousands of DVDs on there already.

Legally Free Horror Movies on YouTube!

I wish I could say that I found out about this all on my own, but it was actually somebody on Reddit who posted the link to more free horror movies on YouTube than you could watch in a year.

Here it is:

Things like this make me so happy especially when I've already bought most of these movies on DVD in the past. Yeah, I know I suck at sarcasm.

If you're a tightwad or haven't seen a lot of horror movies, this is for you. Enjoy!

Patrick Macnee's Ghost Stories (1997)

I just watched "Vol. 4: Hollywood Ghosts" on the new (and free) SnagFilms channel on Roku but, obviously, this series is all over YouTube so I assume that it must have lapsed into the Public Domain at some point.

I've seen the boxset of what I believe is the full series on sale in various supermarkets before now but never had much interest in it. I saw most of the episodes on Channel Four many years ago and thought they were quite superficial.

The "Hollywood Ghosts" episode seems to be the exception. I learned lots of things from it which I never knew before and I've now got quite interested in the deaths of Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Short. I'm familiar with their names but I never really knew any of the details about their deaths before and this documentary had me Googling away like crazy.

There's another "Hollywood Ghost Stories" (1986) documentary available but introduced by John Carradine instead. I was actually hoping that SnagFilms had this much better documentary available too as I remember having it on VHS back in England and I thought it was really good. Unfortunately, they didn't. I still remember some of it though especially Elke Sommer's story. It was very scary stuff.

Although I don't actually believe in ghosts, at least not in the same way that most other people who believe in ghosts do, I always enjoy a good ghost story especially when it's supposed to be true. I'm not sure how much of that is because I'm a horror film fan or whether it's a more primal response that's in all of us.

I've encountered a few horror fans online who hate supernatural movies and I can't understand that at all. I can accept anyone hating those ridiculously fake reality TV shows about hauntings, especially the most famous of them, but to dismiss an entire section of your favourite genre strikes me as completely illogical. I don't particularly like the majority of Asian ghost films but I'll still watch them.

Anyway, if you are looking for something spooky to watch amidst all the thunder and lightning of the summer storms tonight, these documentaries should sort you out.
