Collection Update - April 13th, 2017

Its time for another weekly collection update.

This will be a short one, I´m still completely beat from work.
Thankfully I have the day of tomorrow, then it´s time for a much needed clean.
The collection has suffered greatly do to the fact that I haven´t had a single day off from work in over 2 weeks.

Anyway on to the new goodies:

• Just Desserts: The Making of Creepshow
• Basket Case Trilogy
• The Deadly Spawn
• Shocker 
• The Burning

I definitely went for quality over quantity this week, as in No blind buys :D

• Abattoir
• Bread and Circus
• The Watcher In the Woods

I haven´t seen The Watcher In the Woods since I was a kid, so that´s gonna be a nice nostalgia trip to re-watch.

Bread and Circus are one of those Gory Splatter movies that you just have to have in your collection if you´re into that type of movies, might not be the greatest movie ever made but still.

I bought Abattoir cause Lin Shaye stars in it and I´ve always been a fan.

The movie didn´t disappoint but it wasn´t the greatest movie I´ve ever seen either.

More about that in a future review.

And the last of the movies for this week:

• Scooby-Doo Where Are You: Season 2
• Scooby-Doo and the Cyber Chase

And last but not least, a couple of Books:

• Joe Hill: En Hjärtformad Ask (Heart-Shaped Box, Swedish Edition)
• Stephen King: Jurtjyrkogården (Pet Sematary, New Swedish Edition)
• Sweeney Todd
• A Discovery of Witches

I only had the English version of Heart-Shaped box so I figured that I could might as well pick up the Swedish edition as well, I prefer to read books in their original language but if I can find other releases I tend to pick them up just to add to the collection.

Same with the Stephen King book, I have the book but not the new release.

A Discovery of Witches was the only blind-buy for this week, the title looked interesting and the books were like $1.25 each so no harm done.

This was everything for this week, as usual I´ve already received a couple of additional movies but they will be featured next week.

Right now I´m gonna go and relax on the sofa with a horror movie and enjoy not having to stress over working tomorrow.

// Hope You all have a great day.

Collection Update - April 4th, 2017

Here we go with another weekly update :)

I went by my neighborhood goodwill a couple of days ago, lately I haven´t been able to find much of anything there, but this time I have to say that I struck gold.


Let´s start with these two:

• Richard Backman - The Regulators
• Stephen King - Desperation

I have been looking for these two books for a very long time, and when I finally found them they are both first editions. That´s a very sweet little bonus.

Most of all I´m happy that they are in absolute mint condition.

And like that wasn´t "enough" I also came across these:

• Stephen King - Bag of Bones
• Stephen King - Dolores Claiborne
• Stephen King - Thinner

I needed all of these in the original English language, I had the Swedish releases prior to finding these, but I would love to have a complete King collection both in Swedish and in English.

The Dolores Claiborne paperback was also a first edition.

I don´t know who would leave this at a goodwill but Thank You to whoever did.

Moving on with the Goodwill finds (Yes it was an awesome awesome day):

• Clive Barker - Books of Blood Volume Three
• Clive Barker - The Great and Secret Show

I have all the Books of Blood in two collection volumes but I like to collect different editions of the books I like :)

• Greg McLean - Wolf Creek Desolation Game
• Frederick Forsyth - The Phantom of Manhattan
• Dan Simmons - Hyperion

I actually found Wolf Creek a couple of weeks ago but I forgot to post it, I found it at the same Goodwill so I thought I´d throw it in with the rest.

And lastly (For the Goodwill finds)

• Graham McNamee - Beyond
• Tessa Gratton - The Blood Keeper

I have never heard of these books before but they looked interesting enough to pick up, they were in excellent condition and they were really cheap.

Moving on to the movies:

• The Hamiltons
• They
• Tale of Tales
• Freaks of Nature

• Hammerhead
• Wolves
• Lord of Illusions
• Let Sleeping Corpses Lie

Most of these were purchased on Tradera (Swedish equivalent to eBay) and some where ordered online from Ginza if I´m not mistaken.

I just got a couple of new goodies in the mail, but that will have to wait until the next update :)

Right now I have to dust off the collection.

"Talk" to you soon again.
