How Many Horror Films Do You Own?

worst phrased poll ever.. i nthe topic you ask specifically for horror films.. in your post you just ask for how many dvds someone owns.

 

Lots... 800+..... I even watch some sometimes.

 

I no longer have a clue. I stopped counting ages ago. 600 give or take a few?

I just realized that you're counting movies, not DVD, in which case, I REALLY don't have a clue. I'm guessing 650 on DVD, 200 or so on VHS, and maybe 50 or so that I downloaded which aren't commercially available otherwise. So, rough guestimate.... 900 to 1000? I may be way off though.

 

I assumed that people would know it's horror based due to the three times it says How Many Horror Films Do You Own "i nthe" thread and on the actual poll.

 

I'd say about 225 on dvd and 25 on vhs. DVD aficianado catagorizes them a bit differently, but I'd say about that many could be considered horror or at least dark and somewhat twisted so I'll just say about 250 horror films. Would be many, many more if I wouldn't sell or give away so many, but I need room for the good ones, you know.

 

191 with a few sci-fi in the mix, still buying more and wanting more. Someday i am hoping to have a huge DVD collection like most of you here, i still have close to 700 on my wishlist and that just counting Horror. I still have a fare amount on VHS which i am now copying to DVD, hoping in another year or so i will be swimming in horror DVD's.

 

You will have to excuse Nem, I hear it's that time of the month again in Aussie land.

 

Approx. 58 horror DVDS. Man, I feel so inadequate.

 

I'm not gonna count, but its somewhere in the neighborhood of 300+. I got rid of most of my VHS, so thats all DVD.

 

Sweet Jesus in heat! I wouldn't know where to start. Just click on my link below to see my entire collection (by year). I'm not sure what is exactly classified as "horror." Some might consider the ALIEN movies to be in that catagory, or FATAL ATTRACTION or JAWS might qualify...the line blurs for me in many instances. Plus, I don't feel like counting.

 

I just did a rough count and came up with 94. That pretty much makes me a lightweight around here.

 

Over 100. Not sure about how much.

 

I have 550ish Horror DVDs, so I figured add 100 VHS/LD/Beta/8mm would round it out about right.

I own some 1300 DVDs.

 

I have over 7500 videos and DVDs.

 

Is that all horror movies??? Damn that's a lot!

 

For you that have 600+ DVD's, where do you find the room.

 

I have three units of cheap shelving from IKEA...but they're all full and I am in need of another unit, but I'll probbaly wait and get something bigger and nicer to replace them.

 

My DVDAF says 145 titles. I better get to buying...

 

I'm at about 220, the biggest chunk by far for any category of my ~600 DVD collection. To be honest there aren't a whole hell of a lot more horror titles I'm aware of that I'd like to grab (probably due more to my years hardened picky standards than the movies being truly bad).

I'd take the "90% garbage, 10% good" yardstick and go at least another 5% on the cynical side. And I'd probably toss at least 20% of what I've already got on the basis of "heard it was good, ended up being crap after I bought it." What is left I'd pretty much consider must have, anything else I've already seen lies somewhere between "don't ever see a need to watch it again" to "thats two hours of my life I'll never get back".

Right now my horror DVD hit list (below) is pretty short, mostly stocked with "doesn't exist on DVD" OOP titles that I'm looking to replace a VHS with, remember fondly from my cheese tolerant youth, or may just be curious about. Nothing much else really strikes my interest, if these ever come out I figure my DVD purchases will taper off sharply (yeah, right).
