The Ritual probably holds best new film title for me right now. Really tense. Liked it a lot.

Stranger Things was released on VHS.

Yes, VHS.

Yes, VHS.

Well Havok may want to watch it.

[Jason]

Err, no. Apparently it's a DVD release in a VHS sized VHS packaging with a fake VHS tape that carries the DVDs.

Confusing. I guess it's cool. :p

Havoc will be devastated.

Sweden is a great set for a horror film in isolation. Disappointed they didn’t speak Swedish though. But they threw in a few words that sounded right.

I loved the idea. Planned on getting that set.

Very apt for the nostalgia factor to be sure.

I haven't bought season 1 of Stranger Things yet. Definitely a show worth owning (so far). Might just get the VHS thing.

They know their core audience.

They do indeed. Very cool.

It was a Target exclusive one, so that's where you're going to see it for the correct $25 price. Amazon's already selling it for $40, and goes higher from there.

Just bought mine from Target. Ah yeah.

[DancesWithWerewolves]

Been home for a while, but Alli's had Crystal Lake Memories going so I haven't been able to watch anything.

Unless I watch something on Youtube...

[Jason]

I guess I'll have to go to Target and get the VHS before it sells out?... Will it sell out?

[Jigsaw]

Today's surprise favorite was Bates Motel (1987). That movie was all over the place (so much corny drama), but I loved the hell out of it.

I just bought it on their website. Paid extra for shipping, but meh. 33 bucks is still better than the higher prices elsewhere.

Never saw it, but wasn't that a pilot for an attempted show?

[Jason]

I'll probably swing by Target tomorrow at some point and pick it up. Should still be there, hopefully.

Yeah, I think it's only been out today.

I happened to swing in this afternoon when I noticed it. I was in a hurry though and didn't think about picking it up. It was a full section, with like 30-40 copies. I'll be bummed if it's sold out, but at least people are still buying DVDs, even ones that are exclusive to netflix.
