Found the DVD at a used movie shop and about fell over
This movie is almost mythological to me— I have heard of it for years and the DVD has been upwards of $100 dollars every time I've looked online. Lo and behold, I was in a DVD shop last week and spotted it in a glass case for $70. As much as I wanted it, I really didn't want to spend that kind of money. Opted not to get it, but it was on my mind all week long— before that, I had never seen an actual physical copy of it in real life. I went back tonight and splurged a small bit of my tax refund. I couldn't stop myself— seeing a copy of it in the flesh ignited the horror DVD completist in me.
I went home after buying it and saw some copies on eBay selling for $60, but most of them were going for more than what I paid, so it was a fair price, and the disc and case appear to be basically in mint condition. Never seen the movie before and plan on watching it tonight after I finish a paper. I'll post some thoughts and review it later probably. Just had to share, I've been wanting this movie for over seven years now and have never had the gall to actually pay so much for it until now. It's such a rarity though and the fact that it will likely never be released again influenced me to get it. I'm crazy, I know.
