The Complete Tomorrow People is down to £28.97 at Amazon again. I bought this last time it was cheap and its worth it for the commentaries alone!

Termorra Peephole

I also bought the 3-disc Superman cartoon set from The Works in Birmingham. Rubbish stories, but truly great animation and well worth a fiver.

And, Hangman, the horror/monster movies you mention seem like a good deal but they do often crop as three-films-on-a-disc from Poundland, but if you like stuff like that and can play American discs this might be worth £7.79 plus postage to you.

50 Horror 'Classics?'

I've got this one below....and they really are cheesier than a bucket of Edam!

Sci-Fi 'Classics'? Oh, come on!!


STOP PRESS!!

Star Trek Next Generation Boxsets £14ish at Amazon.

CDZone in the UK sell this box for £21, and I honestly don't think you'd be getting screwed if you paid that.

You should have linked to the full list of titles on this. It's a Who's Who of obscure terrible sci-fi flicks, and as such is well worth the money. Robot Monster, Santa Claus Conquers the Martians, Eegah!, The Wild Women of Wongo, Voyage to the Planet of Prehistoric Women ... how can you not be drooling?

The Nightmare Worlds pack has Return of Dr Mabuse, the 1925 Lost World (the first movie to use stop-motion, courtesy of the legendary Willis O'Brien), and the BBC's incredible nuclear war docudrama The War Game which was banned from TV and justifies the cost of the box on its own.

Lastly there's the Chilling Classics box, the highlights of which are Driller Killer, proto-slasher Silent Night, Bloody Night, I Bury The Living, Gothic, Peter Jackson's Bad Taste, Kinji Fukasaku's Virus (probably the US mutilated cut, I'm afraid), Corman classic A Bucket of Blood and trash classics Jesse James Meets Frankenstein's Daughter and The Demon (starring Cameron Mitchell, and now you know where that name came from).

All these packs are available for $18 at CD Universe. There's also an Action Movies set which sells for $12.35, but the only movies worth watching are King Solomon's Mines and the original Fast and the Furious.

Also, all these sets are region 0. No need to worry about having a multiregion player.

MusicZone seems to be open again, quite a few things seem to have had their prices reduced.

Got Eerie Indiana for £12.97, £5 cheaper than Amazon, not a huge saving but still pretty good value.

That's good news - I quite like Fopp as they have some real bargains in their stores. Lets hope they don't go to the wall like MZ did :roll:

Not sure if this is the cheapest but, on a topical note, Amazon are doing the 1st season of Life On Mars for £14.97 :shock:
