HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:The Boy Owns. The Boy was weird because it starts off going one way, totally swerves you and goes another, and then swerves you again and just finishes out of nowhere. It wasn't a "good film" but every time I thought I might be tempted to turn it off I was all "Wait... really? Ok, you've got my attention."

Rewatched the Benecio Del Toro Wolfman, and between the over-the-top gore and victorian setting, it's a lot more fun than I remember. Third act plot twist fight scene still sucks rear end though.

UltimoDragonQuest posted:Absolutely. The moment I realized the needless ex-boyfriend subplot was going to payoff I was completely in on that absurd trainwreck. Yeah, I was in when the haunted doll menacing the desperate and confused woman suddenly became the doll protecting her from her abusive ex and her deciding to love and raise the ghost doll as her own. That caught me totally by surprise and kept me going all the way to whoops, no ghost doll just a creepy perv psycho living in the walls and a mad run away from him. That's a movie that keeps you on your toes if nothing else.

The walls in the video area were all covered in pegboard, but the tanning room in the back did have wood paneling. That place was renting tapes long after all the chain stores in the area closed down, but their business took a hit when everyone found out that one of their former clerks was the wrong kind of person to have one-stop access to recording equipment and girls who don't want tan lines.

LMAO at these loving posers not growing up with a Mom and Pop video store with wood paneling and also , picking out a awesome horror movie solely based on the VHS cover, then swapping that video out of the case for a G rated Disney film in order to rent a rated R movie.

Most of the mom and pops around me had the movie cases on display but if you wanted to rent it, they had a tag hanging under the box that you'd bring up to the counter and they'd bring you the movie from the back, except for one place that had so many movies, they had all the VHS cases flattened down and stored in comic book long boxes.

Yeah, most I went to had the boxes on the shelf filled with styrofoam. You brought it to the counter and they got the tape in a case. And even in the ones that put the case on the shelf they checked the tape. Sure, you could have an employee who didn't care but that guy didn't care if you rented R. Actually I find it funny that anyone ever had trouble renting an R movie. Maybe the difference of city life. Anything not in the back room was fair game.

The Mom and Pop store by me didn't even have styrofoam in the coverbox. You just brought the box up and they'd let you know if they had it or not. As far as trouble with renting R went, it depended on who was at the counter since it was one of the families in the neighborhood. If it was Grandpa or Dad, as long as it wasn't X rated, they didn't care. If it was the Grandma or Mom you'd get asked if your parents said it was okay for you to rent this, and unless said parents were in the store with you, they'd still rent to you but there'd be the eyes cast up with a muttered prayer in Italian to one of the patron saints for wayward girls. If it was the younger members of the family, everyone was cool but the one daughter who'd rent to you but if you got on her bad side for whatever reason would call your house after you walked out the door to let your parents know you rented something you shouldn't. She was also notorious for checking in tapes late if she was too busy chatting with her friends either on the phone or in the store with you even waiting in the store before the 4pm return time. For as much as I miss the selections from the old Mom and Pop stores, a lot of the side bullshit I don't miss at all.

Clovehitch Killer is incredibly good. I was surprised honestly at how much I enjoyed that film. They really got the look and feel of a small christian town perfectly in the film. The acting was surprisingly good. Dylan McDermot was excellent and then when the movie starts picking up it gets really intense. Just a really excellent film.

And even in the ones that put the case on the shelf they checked the tape. Sure, you could have an employee who didn't care but that guy didn't care if you rented R. Yeah, that's what mine had. They even had a big VHS sale like five years ago where they totally liquidated their inventory of VHS tapes. Only about a decade or more after VHS was dead. And yeah, I picked up a bunch of tapes. They sold the styrofoam-packed empty cases, bleached and baked by the sun, along with the blue clamshell cases with the tapes inside. I really should've bought more than 11, but most of the good stuff was gone by the time I checked out their sale. The only horror movies I picked up were Gothic, Something Wicked This Way Comes and An American Werewolf in London. I didn't see any of the good poo poo I remembered from when I was a kid, like Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers, Creepers (for the box at least), Dawn of the Dead Extended Cut, Videodrome, TerrorVision, They Live, etc. I was hoping they'd have all the Psycho sequels but they only had IV.

With all the People Under The Stairs and The Boy talk let's all remember that Housebound is a good movie that also kinda meshes with the aforementioned movies. Housebound is so good though.

What’s the platonic ideal of “horror movie you weren’t allowed to see with cover art that fascinated you in the video store”? My vote goes to Return of the Living Dead, although I remember always wanting to play with the Evil Dead 2 Book of the Dead DVD back in the suncoast days

My local Radio Shack/Video Store had all the movies in the back. The newer mom and pop place I worked summers at had things out on the shelf, but we always checked to make sure the right movie was in there. We did the "do your parents know you're watching this" thing with anyone we recognized as local, but we didn't rent R-rated movies to the tourist kids because their parents would complain. In the late 90s I worked in a video store/dance music record shop where folks would bring the cover up. That place was in this walkout back basement you had to make an effort to find, and the cinderblock walls and drop ceiling were all painted black. We mostly focused on genre and cult movies so it was always fun to watch first-time visitors realize we weren't what they were expecting. Some guys would order by number instead of bringing me the video case, but as the person who was supposed to check that the number on the tape matched the number on the case, I still knew which awkward vintage porn they'd picked out. The video cases that fascinated me as a kid were the ones that were a little mysterious; they made me interested in the story beyond just knowing there'd be a bloody head or a guy holding an axe or whatever. My favorite was probably April Fools Day.

The horror section at my mom n pop was like a candy store. Crazy huge selection. And they didn't police what you rented as a kid. I remember when I was 9 or 10 and this one girl who worked there recommended Henry. But that cover with Michael Rooker's blank stare made me think that I probably wasn't ready for that.
