Awesome DVD sale!

Sadly not at Amazon, but Deepdiscount DVD is selling several sets at really great prices.

The most essential is the Icons of Horror: Sam Katzman collection, which offers four films, including THE GIANT CLAW!!  The others are Zombies of Mora Tau, The Creature with the Atomic Brain and The Werewolf.  The set is selling for $11 right now, a full nineteen dollars off the thirty dollar MSRP.   Let’s admit it, Giant Claw is worth that alone.  You could do worse for an emergency stocking stuffer present, too.

Other sets on similar sale include the Icons of Horror Hammer Films (The Gorgon, Curse of the Mummy’s Tomb, Two Faces of Dr. Jekyll, and Scream of Fear) and the Boris Karloff Horror Flicks Collection (it’s actually another Icons of Horror set, but DDD sometimes screws up the titles, which is dumb) featuring The Boogie Man Will Get You, The Black Room (neat!), Before I Hang and The Man They Could Not Hang.  All for $11, and more than worth it.

Also selling for that wonderful price and discount is all the nifty chronological Three Stooges sets, which is an incredible bargain.  I paid $20 for most of the sets, and was well satisfied at that price.

    I have a soft spot for Zombies of Mora Tau. I always wanted a one sheet from a 50s monster movie as I was growing up. But those one sheets can command a great deal of coin. One day I ran across a guy’s table at a film show, where he was selling old posters for about $5 a piece or something like that. I found three posters from the 50s and quickly bought them (I think there was some sort of 3-for-1 deal,or something like that.) I grabbed all that was really good to grab, an insert sheet for Dunkirk for Pop (who still has it hanging in his shop), the one-sheet for Bullwhip!, and Zombies of Mora Tau. Of the three, ‘Zombies’ was in the roughest shape (and printed on the thinest paper). On the back had been painted an ad for Demetrious and the Gladiators, and it looked like it’d been used as a dart board by someone after that. But still, I finally had a one sheet for a 50s monster movie, and I still have it proudly displayed in my living room. (Now if only they’d put Allison Hayes on the poster…) I didn’t see the film until years later, and somehow I ended up with three copies! I guess it’ll be four when I eventually pick up the Sam Katzman set.
