Collection Update - Swapmeet

This update got extremely delayed...
I've been super busy preparing for Karolina´s birthday that was on the 24th of this month and things have been stressful with work as usual.

But enough with the excuses, this is the update that I should have posted at the beginning of this week, it´s from the swapmeet we went to last weekend.

I found a bunch of goodies for once, it´s usually the same garbage at the swapmeet, but I still go cause you never know :)

First Up:


  • Kemper: The Co-ed Killer
  • Sweeney Todd (Old Version)
  • The Living and the Dead
  • Buried Alive
  • Five Across the Eyes
  • Blood Trails
  • House on Haunted Hill
  • Steel Trap
  • Diary of a Serial Killer
  • Thr3e
    (apparently I that movie ended up on both of the pictures for some reason)
  • Deadly Blessing
  • Maneater
  • The Funhouse
  • Night of the Living dead
  • Chicago Massacre
  • The Hamiltons
  • Little Shop of Horrors
  • Mother of Tears
  • Carnival of Souls
  • Clear Lake
  • Babysitter Wanted
  • Cradle Will Fall
Now I have most of these movies already, but I did miss a few and the movies looked good together since they came from the same collection.
I got them all for a really awesome price so no harm done :)

Next Up:


  • Dungeon Girl
  • Devil Doll
  • Severance 
  • Rohtenburg
And lastly:


Not that I have that much space left on my walls but these were too good to pass up on, and I only payed like $0,50 each for them.

All of the goodies came from the same seller at the swapmeet.

The next swampmeet is tomorrow but I´m most likely not gonna make it to that one, there is a huge reptile/bug convention in town and I wouldn't miss that for anything.

I don´t really have the space for any more reptiles or spiders but if something really special shows up then I might be able to make some room :P

Anyway this will have to be it for this update.
I have a whole bunch of new movies that I need to get ready for the next update.
Hopefully I´ll have the time to do so over the weekend.

We went out on an awesome road trip yesterday and I managed to find a couple of movies out in the middle of no where at a garage/barn sale.

But more on that in the next update.

Bye Bye for now

Collection Update: May 16th - 2017

It´s that time of the week again where I catch up with the newest additions to the collection.
I decided to split this update into two parts, I found a lot of goodies at the swapmeet we went to last Saturday so I decided to make a separate update on those.

But first lets begin with a couple of awesome movies:


  • Nightmare Concert aka Cat in the Brain
  • Killerschlangen aka Rattlers
I won both of these at Tradera (Swedish eBay), I finally found Nightmare Concert for a price that wasn´t way over its actual value.
And the German cover of Rattlers was a must-have.

  • Possession
  • Phenomena
Possession was another Tradera score, Possession is a movie that´s usually way over-priced as well but I got this for a fair price.

Arrows release of Phenomena is nothing short of a gorgeous masterpiece, Phenomena has always been one of my favorite Argento movies, I made sure to place a pre-order on this release they sell out so fast (for good reason)


  • The Suckling aka Sewage Baby
  • Cabin Fever (2016)
  • Ouija: Origin of Evil
The Suckling is another one of those movies that I´ve been wanting for years.
I had Cabin Fever on pre-order for a reason that I can´t really explain right now.
I´m not a fan of Eli Roth to begin with, and I don´t see the point in this remake, reboot whatever you want to call it, more on that in a future review (Promise to get those started soon).

Ouija: Origin of Evil was a nice surprise however, it was a lot better that the first movie.


  • Witches & Demons Collection
  • The Hoarder
I will happily admit that I bought Witches & Demons for the cover alone, I had no idea what movies that was included in the collection before I bought it :D
Some covers are too awesome to pass on.

Now the Hoarder was a movie that I kinda had hopes for when I watched the trailer, it seemed interesting enough, but sadly fell short (Again I will hurry up with the reviews)


  • Little Shop of Horrors
  • Bats 
  • Vacancy / Vacancy 2
  • The Shawshank Redemption
  • Saw
I don´t think I have to explain again that I love to collect different editions :P

We´ve come to the end of this update:

  • Scooby-Doo
  • Scooby-Doo2: Monsters Unleashed
  • Scooby-Doo and the Ghoul School
I think I need to make a list of the Scooby-Doo movies I still need, Yes I´m just a grown up child when it comes to Cartoons :D

Anyway this was all for the first part of this weeks update.
Hopefully I can find the time to post the Swapmeet findings later on today.

I still have a lot to organize with the collection, I had to move everything around to make room for the enormous rat cage we bought.

So I should probably get back to that.

Have a great week everyone!

Collection Update: May 8th, 2017

My apartment is starting to resemble a post-apocalyptic poster.
I´m still way behind with the collection due to the insane work schedule I had last month.
So I´m gonna finish up with this update then I have to at least try and sort this mess up.

I really need to go and get additional shelves, but since I don´t own a car I have to wait until someone can take me to Ikea.
And that won´t happen until after the funeral on Friday...

Anyway here´s the newest update (actually I have received a few additional movies, but I´m holding out for a few more until I include them in the update section)


First up:



  • Stephen King - Knackarna (The Tommyknockers) Swedish 1st Edition
  • Stephen King - Knackarna (The Tommyknockers) Bra Böcker Edition
  • Stephen King - Dolores Claiborne
So my habit of wanting all available releases of movies and books is probably the main reason for my lack of space.
At least the books are too blame, they take up A Lot of space...

But one of the Tommyknockers was a 1st edition in excellent condition so I couldn´t pass on that one, the other one was meant as a replacement for the one I had at home, but I noticed they were different releases and I might end up keeping both...

Dolores Claiborne however was a book I needed, I have the paperback editions both in English and in Swedish, I love to read the paperbacks but the hardcovers looks so much nicer on the shelf.

Next up:


  • Stephen King - Secret Window (French Release)
Continuing with the buying movies I already have in different editions trend, here´s a French version of Secret Window.
Moving right along with:


  • Subhuman aka. Shelf Life
  • Dead Ringers
  • Species The Awakening (Japan Edition)
I usually stay away from Asian releases since they are usually bootlegs, this one looked legit however. 
It´s usually not that hard to spot the bootlegs, specially the ones with the foil on the covers ;)
So either this one is one of the best bootlegs I have ever seen or it´s the real deal.

Dead Ringers was a nice find, I haven´t seen that movie in a long time and Subhuman was a movie I didn´t own already so all and all 3 nice finds.

And last but not least:


  • Scooby-Doo Meets the Harlem Globetrotters
  • Scooby-Doo and the Zombies
Finishing off with 2 new additions to the Scooby collection :)

Well that was it for now, I will post another update as soon as the packages I´m waiting for decides to show up.
The Postal Service and I are not on speaking terms at the moment, they have lost a package and 2 more are delayed.

So we´ll just have to wait and see when they decide to deliver the other ones, oh and I have to go and pick up a few movies in town on Thursday as well, so I´ll probably wait with the update until then.

I guess I have to go and take care of the messy apartment now...

I´ve said it a million times and I´ll say it again... I´m gonna need a bigger boat uhm.. house

Collection Update - May 3rd, 2017

The last month has been a true hell month.
I´ve been working my bum off at work, and my grandpa passed away so needless to say I haven´t had that much time to update the blog...

Things are starting to get back to normal, I still have a funeral to go to in about a weeks time but at least I´m not working day and night anymore.

I have picked up a few goodies along the way, no where near as many as I would have liked tho.
But here are the news for this week. (Might be posting another Collection Update later this week :D )


First Up:


  • Vampyres: Daughters of Dracula (Anchor Bay)
  • Alien Blood (Troma)
I picked up Vampyres on Tradera (Swedish version of eBay) and I found Alien Blood at one of the Goodwills in town.
I can honestly say that I´ve never seen that movie out in the wild before, I recognized the cover from the Troma website.


  • Scooby-Doo: Where´s My Mummy
  • Scooby-Doo: Camp Scare
  • Scooby-Doo Meets the Boo Brothers
It´s no secret that I´m a huge fan of Anime and Cartoons.
At the moment it´s mostly Scooby-Doo movies that I´m trying to get my hands on.
It was one of my favorite shows growing up and it would be awesome to have a complete collection.


  • Casper´s Spöklika Jul
  • Batman Unlimited Monster Mayhem
I don´t think I´ve ever seen either of these movies but again I´m a huge fan of cartoons, specially cartoons that included monsters, ghosts or elements of horror.

These were the only movies I picked up for this first Update, I did find a couple of books as well tho.


  • Stephen King - Just After Sunset
  • Stephen King - Dead Zone (Swedish)
  • Stephen King - The Dark Tower II (Swedish)
  • Stephen King - Firestarter (Swedish)
  • Stephen King - 11/22/63
My Mom picked up Dead Zone for me and my Grandma picked up Firestarter and 11/22/63 for me along with a few replacements, some of my books are in horrible condition.
Or horrible is maybe exaggerating a bit, but they could definitely be nicer.

It definitely helps with the collection when I have people in my family that are willing to run around local goodwills and such :P (We live in different cities).


And lastly for this Update two blind buys.

I have no idea if these two books are any good, but summer is coming and I love to bring a book with me if we go to the park or out in the woods.
We spend a lot of time on the bus/train during summer as well but I usually get motion sick if I try to read on the bus :(

So this is it for the first update for this week.
I am expecting additional movies to show up this week, but you never know with the postal service..
If they do show up I might do another Update this week.

Until then Take Care!
