It's up there...my fave is Don't Be Afraid of the Dark. Other good ones include Let's Scare Jessica to Death, Salem's Lot, Burnt Offerings.

Don't make em like they used to.

I'm sure you probably already know, but you can watch "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark" on youtube. I was borderline orgasmic when I made the discovery. Sure, I had to watch it in 10 or so parts, but it was worth it! God bless youtube.

"Burnt Offerings" rocks! I finally saw the movie in mid-October, courtesy of Blockbuster Online. "Let's Scare Jessica to Death" is in my "queue" on Blockbuster Online, but of course there's a "very long wait" for the film. I've heard much about "Salem's Lot" and I'm going to add it to my queue as well.

"FRA-GEE-LAY. That's Italian!"
"I think that says 'fragile', honey."

I saw it on youtube last fall but thanks. "Let's Scare Jessica to Death" is on On Demand btw if you have that....forget the exact channel might be the "free movies" section.

Dear Studman_Productions: HI. If you like a challenge then see if you can find the original Unicorn Video presentation of DON'T GO TO SLEEP. I have a copy of it. I bought it brand new via a Blockbuster Video special order back around 1995. I recall it cost me $29.95.

It seems as if it's not be re-released by any other company since.

Now I wish I'd have bought 2 of them.

I know I'm resurrecting a 2 yr. old thread, but I feel quite lucky to have found this. Somehow I missed this growing up but I remember watching Don't Be Afraid of the Dark, Devil Dog, The Other, The Bermuda Depths, Ants and Terror on the Beach or maybe just Terror Beach. Dennis Weaver was in that one too.

Anyway, I ordered this along with The Other on VHS from Movies Unlimited in 2000 or '01. I remember being amused at the eye-catching unicorn logo on the side of the box and thinking 'I've never heard of this company before'.

Unfortunately, from what I can tell MU doesn't carry any VHS anymore.

You got your pint, you got your pig snacks, what more do you want?

Dear Hot Wings That Are Mightily AToMiC: HI. >>> You're right that MOVIES UNLIMITED carries no VHS of any kind. I used to buy a lot of tapes from MU in the not-so-distant past.

Sad.
