Small budget DVD company's

Original artwork
Movies with a bonus disc(I love blu/dvd combos) Fuck digital copy's.
Anchor Bay dvd's without the Starz logo.

80s slashers.

B-movies on blu-ray. Uncle Sam, Class Of Nuke Em High, Troll 2, Puppet Master. Yup, I own 'em.

80s movies on blu-ray. If it is from the 80s and in hi-def, I have to own it. Doesn't even have to be horror. Heathers, Breakfast Club, St Elmo's Fire, Last Starfighter, Risky Business, Major League, Rock & Rule, Trading Places, The Dark Crystal. That is just a small handful.

Also, I can't resist the Shriek Show/Media Blasters triple features!

And, for a while I couldn't resist any DVD with the Anchor Bay logo. Any movie they would release from pre-2000 I had to buy.

[Spit]

Sequel Pack with fancy boxes make me feel all warm and tingly on the inside.
I'm also a sucker for anything that come with multiple cuts. I love my Dawn of the Dead collecters edition set.

[Horrorphilly]

I forgot to say the MB/SS sets.I own quite a bit of them and I love them dearly.80s slashers.

I'm sure I can speak for most people here and say all Horror fans are suckers for the genre. I can't tell you how many times over the years I'll watch a trailer for a horror film and say "Yeah, that's gonna suck" and I still end up watching it and realize that I just wasted 90 minutes of my life. *sigh* I guess I'll never learn.

[Grim]

Goofy horror comedies with likable oddball ensemble casts. Return of the Living Dead, Fright Night and the Lost Boys are good examples.

[SaxCatz]

I can't resist loosely connected double or triple feature packs at value prices...
IE: Skeeter/Xtro/Xtro 2; Grizzly/Day of the Animals/Devil Dog; Anchor Bay Drive in Double features; MGM Midnight Movies... things like that.
Also, I'm a shoe in for any vintage horror release on Blu-Ray as long as the price is right- even sometimes for films that I'm not a huge fan of.
Yes folks, I'm a sucker.

[HAEMORRHAGE]

Stuff that's already been mentioned:

- original artwork
- old school Anchor Bay original pressings
- Shriek Show 3-packs
- store exclusive bonus discs
- as much bonus features as possible

[Erick H.]

I love the Midnite Movies double features,hope they continue the line.

[KamuiX]

As for styles of horror, I'm a sucker for Gothic horror films...screw the quality, I gotta have it.

Also love multi-packs, double features, older films on Blu (especially in glorious black and white), and the aforementioned Midnite Movies line.

[vampyr789]

Slasher films.
Terrible, terrible movies that are just shit. They're so hilarious to watch with friends.
Anchor bay original pressings
original artwork
Making of featurettes (but I really love full length documentaires on the making of a film).

[MisterTwister]

-Grizzpoltation films
-80's slasher flicks
-Movies with goofy/oddball storylines (Santa's Slay, Jack Frost, Evil Bong, Zombie Strippers etc.)
-Everything Full Moon Pictures made until they split from Paramount

[Kim Bruun]

- 80's slashers
- 70's grindhouse horror
- Oldschool artwork
- DVDs with OST Cd's, if the soundtrack is memorable (come on, Aeorbicide!)
- Lowbudget horror on blu (Lemora on blu is higher on my wishlist than The Shining)
- Uncensored status

This may be hard for some to follow, but I don't care for box sets or double features (unless we're talking tv series). Like, at all. I also dislike those flimsy cardboard sleaves that they slip over DVD cases to make them look classy.

[evildeadfan123]

One thing not mentioned, is the 42nd Street Forever Trailer Compliations. I love old horror trailers from the 60s-80s. I own all that have been put out by Synapse.

Also am a fan of 60s-80s slashers, explotation films. I also have anything that was made in the 80s, I try to buy. I have 2 copies of Sixteen Candles and Breakfast Club, but one of the copies each was from the High School Collection, the other copies I have are the Flashback Edition. Can't go wrong with those 2 classics, even if they are not horror. When I was in High School, I had to do a 4 hour detention for being tardy one too many times, and you couldn't do anything. Couldn't take a nap, couldn't talk. It was so boring.

[Ash28M]

I would say the Midnite Movies double features, Hammer or any of the older Classics box sets from the 30-50's

I'm a big believer in supporting the releases of more obscure horror films. As serious genre fans, it's up to us to make less mainstream releases profitable. That means a lot of blind buys for me. Not all of them end up being that enjoyable. But I can't imagine that we'd have flicks like Karloff's The Ghoul, Murders in the Zoo, or The Silent Scream on DVD if we didn't regularly pony up for these types of releases.

I also enthusiastically support certain genre stars (like Robert Quarry) and buy anything that brings royalties to them or their estates.

[dave13]

- numbered collections (criterion and code red)
- defined series of releases (midnight movies, roger corman's cult classics)
- OOP titles (the fact that something is no longer available makes it that much more appealing - i had very little interest in the BCI drive-in cult classics sets until they went OOP)
- classic films with commentaries by film historians (Greg Mank, Rudy Behlmer, etc)



like others have said:
- original artwork (i may have never bought a single code red release if it weren't for nostalgia for the light-up dead pit vhs case at my neigborhood video store. I bought synapse's black roses for the exact same reason.)
- box sets (no matter how many crummy shriek show movies I see, I keep grabbing those multiple feature sets. For every uniformly lousy set - anybody here have the Jungle Girls box? - there are sets like Evil Animals)

[Ash28M]

Lately I've been a sucker for anything pre 1990. I have come to terms that I will be on hoarders before my DVD/Blu-Ray collection is finally complete.

[DVD-fanatic-9]

Evil, witch-like, crazed or frizzy-haired, shrill or hag-voiced Diva women who may swear a lot (Aunt Martha, Creedence Leonore Gielgud, Cass from Creepshow, possessed-Sigourney Weaver, Judy from Sleepaway Camp, Mater Lachrimarum - Inferno, Ethel - Friday the 13th Part V)

Classic Trailers! (anything pre-1999, pretty much)

Smashing, shattering, breaking glass / mirrors

Rolling objects on floors

Black-humor and satire, social and political commentary

Colors- gels and filters, neon, things that glow against black, unnatural / moody lighting

Natural settings (woods, water)

Scenes with, in, or near pools

Wind, sound of wind, shots of wind blowing people's hair or rustling trees and leaves

Murders commited with fire pokers, candlesticks, and large cleavers

Blood painting the wall

Realistic-looking gore and blood

The Leprechaun when he speaks (or rides something: pogo stick, wheelchair, rollerskates, skateboard, toy car)

Creepy music (none of this bullshit wannabe-Hollywood full-orchestra stuff, less horns people!!, and NO FUCKING METAL!), especially if it involves a synthesizer (NEVER get tired of those sounds, and low rumbling is good) or organs / pipe organs

High heels clicking on hard surfaces

Creeking doors and stairs / staircases, footsteps

Keys, opening locked doors, cars doors opening and closing, opening room doors, people moving from room to room

Disney Halloween and creepy themed cartoons (and Hanna-Barbera / Warner Bros.)

Scenes of TV's that can talk to the person watching them, creatures and monsters who can come out from in the television.

TV sitcoms that come up with some stupid fake slasher or splatter film like Bloodbath, Blood Thirsty, Brain Eaters, Zombie School, etc(.) that some of the kids want to see and others respond with "yuck" or "I'll pass." (This includes the GREAT Mr. Bean sketch (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3aIfMX7FBbI) where him and Irma go to see a fake Nightmare on Elm Street)

Jokes about creepy, twisted, or insane characters in TV shows / sitcoms. References to real horror films to insult another character.

Scenes involving sports (don't ask- I hate most sports, but mix it with horror and I get really interested for some reason)

Dario Argento!! (at least from 1969 to 1987, I truly missed Simonetti/Goblin on Trauma and really disliked Pino's score)

Children of the Corn sequels (I can't explain it- those things are like popcorn, you can't stop at one) (it's probably all the cool weapons)

Hallucinations / visions (Cat People), mirages (Dust Devil), fading away of reality (Friday the 13th 1-3), distorted or discordant music (best example I can think of is in the non-horror John Waters film, Desperate Living), mesmerizer (Urban Legend) and waterglass lens effects (several Mario Bava films), bizarre dissolves.

Stalkers and sequences of people looking around as though they're noticing they're not alone. Shots of someone peeking into a window when the person they're watching doesn't notice.

Seance scenes, fortune tellers, psychics, mediums, gypsies.
