This arrived today: Thanks to trading in my Kindle Touch and a few discounts, I was able to get both of these—brand new—for just $93.60. A new Paperwhite by itself usually costs $119.99.

1 1/2 dozen eggs from a neighbor. They are bigger than the eggs I can get at the grocery store. And much cheaper. Plus it is a 5 minute drive instead of driving almost 20 minutes.

I just bought 10 sets of horror/sci-fi/thriller/b-movies that in total contain around 250 movies.
I looked through what all the sets contained pretty thoroughly beforehand. There is some minor overlap between I think only two of the sets, which means I might have two copies of around 5 or so movies, but that kind of thing is tough to avoid with these type of sets. I also got a new MP3 for when I exercise. All of this cost me about $150 and should take me years to get through (if I ever get through it all). I'm working a lighter schedule for at least a month or so by choice and thought I'd use that time to get back into better shape and watch old movies.
Here's what I got:
Tales of Terror This is a set of 200 DVDs that make up the majority of the collection of movies I purchased. There are some things in here that always appear on budget releases and aren't that interesting, non-horror movies, and most likely bad copies of really old movies. However, it has dozens of movies from the 1960s-1980s I'm interested in and can be tricky to find. I got this set for only $32.99. I expect to be entertained in some fashion by at least 33 of these films, and less than a buck a film is never too bad.
Scream Factory: All Night Horror Marathon This is a much smaller collection of movies (only four) that are supposed to be quality prints. It was put out by Shout! Factory under their Scream Factory label. Included are The Outing (1987), The Vagrant (1992), What's the Matter with Helen (1971), and The Godsend (1980). All are widescreen except The Outing. No extras, but I don't think I've sen any of these and the plots sound fun.
Scream Factory: All Night Horror Marathon Vol. 2 Pretty similar to the first volume, but instead contains Cellar Dweller (1988), Dungeonmaster (1985), Catacombs (1988), and Contamination .7 (1993). I might be even more excited for this volume than the last one. The 1980s is probably my favorite decade for these kinds of movies and this set is almost completely made up for 1980's movies. Plus, Catacombs comes with a commentary track.
Sci-Fi Movie Marathon Similar to the All Night Horror Marathon releases, but sci-fi based. It contains all 1980's movies involving controversial filmmaker Charles Band. The movies included are Arena (1988), Eliminators (1986), America 3000 (1985), and The Time Guardian (1987). I've heard that Arena and The Eliminators are both a lot of fun. No idea about the other two, but the plot of America 3000 sounds interesting. I've read conflicting things about the extras on here as most places say none are included, but I saw in one review an interview with someone from one of the films may be included. It won't break my heart if it isn't though. All movies are full frame except The Time Guardian. I got this one in part because I got a discount for buying it along with the two Scream Factory releases.
Gorehouse Greats Collection The second biggest set I bought consists of 12 films for under $7. I've heard there is some real crap in this set, which I am intrigued by. The movies span from 1962-1991, which is a time frame I love for b-movies.
The Deadly Beyond 11 Movie Collection I was really on the fence about getting this one as about half of the movies overlap with things I got in Tales of Terror. However, every single one of the movies is from the 1980s and it was only about $10. No extras or anything, but the movie Eternal Evil (1985) was kind of the difference maker for me as the plot sounds fun. Plus, it has the cult classic Krull (1983) and I think any copy I have of that is in storage.
4 Film Favorites: Twisted Terror Another collection of 4 movies though I don't think this one was put out by Shout! Factory. Included are Deadly Friend (1986), Eyes of a Stranger (1981), The Hand (1981), and Someone's Watching Me (1978). This is a weird collection in that three of the movies are lesser works of some pretty famous directors. Deadly Friend was directed by Wes Craven, Someone's Watching Me is a made for TV movie by John Carpenter, and The Hand was directed by Oliver Stone of all people. I don't know much about Eyes of a Stranger other than it shares the title of a gay pornographic film from the early 1970s. See, I found all kind of interesting stuff researching these sets.
4 Film Favorites: King of Horror This set contains less obscure movies that are all based on the works of Stephen King. Included are Creepshow (1982), Cat's Eye (1985), Dolores Claiborne (1995), and Dreamcatcher (2003). I pretty much only bought the set for Creepshow, which I surprisingly think I only ever owned on a used VHS I got from a video store (remember those?). I've seen all these movies except for Dreamcatcher, which I have heard bad things about. Still, it's been years since I watched Creepshow back to back with Creepshow 2, which leads me to the next set...
4 Horror Classics Another no frills set that contains Creepshow 2 (1987), C.H.U.D. (1984), House (1986), and Children of the Corn (1984). I actually made the decision to get this set before I made the decision to get the set containing the first Creepshow. It has been way too long since I've seen C.H.U.D. and C.H.U.D. 2 is currently on Vudu for free. Might as well do a C.H.U.D. double feature one day and a Creepshow double feature another. Plus, it contains House, which I think I may have watched back in the day even more than Creepshow. In fact I watched it so many times I might hold off on watching it again any time soon. Still, worth owning on DVD. Children of the Corn used to be severely overplayed on cable about two decades ago and I was never a fan. But I'm not sure I ever just sat down and watched it straight through. Since that time I've also read the short story it was based on, so I could give it a watch just for comparison's sake.
Grindhouse Psychos! This is the smallest set I got and by far has the highest cost to number of movies ratios. On the plus side though it is the set that contains the most special features and has a commentary track for each movie. The movies included are Cop Killers (1973), Don't Go in the House (1980), and Tenement (1985). Cop Killers sounds like a pretty generic exploitation film while Don't Go in the House sounds like a poor man's Psycho and Tenement sounds a little like a different take on the plot of Attack on Precinct 13. As far as I know I have not seen any of these movies, so I'm really curious about them.
The MP3 player I got was an 8GB SanDisk player with a clip. I've got three of these over the last decade or so. Obviously they don't last, but they're easy to carry and for the low cost have the easiest interface I've encountered for MP3 players. The first two I had lasted at least three years each. The third one I got was defective and broke right away, which cheesed me off so much that I haven't purchased anything from SanDisk for years. I hope this one is more like the first two and last at least three years, if not longer.

My stuff all came today! I was pleasantly surprised as the delivery date for the Tales of Terror collection was not until Wednesday. Here are some pics: This should make for a fun rest of August, September, and especially October. Heck, with how many movies I got in these sets it should take me until at least next October! I’m going to start off with a Creepshow double feature
