Last month I "completed" my Stephen King VHS collection. One of every movie/TV adaptation and all the special documentaries that were available in the US. Now that I have atleast one of everything I plan on getting cover variants and different releases. To celebrate I picked up some really cool Bootlegs of movies that never came out on vhs.
I've been working on this collection for over 20 years. The plan was to obtain one of ever stephen King adaptation/special that was released on VHS and THEN grab some cool Variant Covers or releases. I actually did it! And to celebrate I picked up some Bootlegs.
I had one of these when I was in high school and it was awesome. Im now almost 40 and I had to have this. I even got a copy of Twista Adrenalin rush 2007 to test the bass. Iykyk
Everything changed the day my last baby tooth fell out. It had been days since noticing it was loose and i couldn't stop myself from wiggling it with my tongue. At first it hurt but then it felt kind of good, like cracking your knuckles or scratching an itch. There i was in home room clacking my loose tooth against the closest adult tooth and ignoring my teacher. The kid in the desk behind me was your stereotypical leg jiggler, constantly tapping and bouncing their legs with reckless abandon. Since my tooth had become loose the tapping had become an issue, it completely threw off my tooth clacking. On and on and on I finally had enough and turned around.
"WOULD YOU FUCKIN ST.."
The pain shot through my gums and into my sinuses so fast i barely registered it. In the heat of the moment I had bitten down on my loose tooth and the force popped the nerve. The asshole behind me was wide eyed and mouth open from my verbal barrage and now my tooth was flying towards its point of impact. Right in the Uvula...I Win the grand prize.
If there ever was a way to tell someone to fuck off this was it. The sound that came next made me laugh so hard I almost missed my chance to avoid the hot stream of vomit headed for my face. What looked like a steaming gallon of super wet instant oatmeal pooled and dripped down the desk onto the floor.
Now i was standing infront of my desk locking eyes with this foot tapping maniac. Grasping at their throat and gasping while changing from normal to every shade on the way to purple. They stumbled and fumbled out of the desk and stood up looking up at the lights frantically smacking and scratching at their throat.
Just like a Rube Goldberg arrangement chaos unfolded before me in slow motion. First they slipped in their own puke and then that set off a chain of events ending in the Loud THUD of a skull bouncing off a tube of stainless steel. Some people rushed to offer help but most people dispersed at the first splat of blood. I myself was looking just infront of the rapidly growing pool of blood at my tooth. At some point during their interpretive dance routine it had dislodged from its resting place. With chameleon tongue like speed I snatched it off the floor and stuffed it into my pocket. I then composed myself and joined the students fleeing. By the time I made it to the bike rack the parade of emergency vehicles had begun their assault on the situation. The lights and sirens distracted me from entering my bike lock combination but soon enough I was racing away from the school and towards Tractor Corpse.
Did i just accidentally killed someone? I couldnt stop thinking about how everything had happened. There isnt a way to prove i had anything to do with it unless someone had seen the tooth fly out of my mouth into theirs. Sure they can probably get some of my DNA from the throat but that could be explained by spit. Some could of came out while I was yelling at the jerk. If im asked about anything that's what ill say. I was rehearsing my story for the third time when I seen the outline of Tractor Corpse. Built in the twenties and broken in the sixties, Tractor Corpse sat decaying over the years just five minutes away from the entrance to the bike path. For decades all the local teens sprayed graffiti on it or did something illegal here and I felt right at home. It was a big old broken crane or something and I spent alot of time on it or in the woods around it.
When i first started coming here id get pissed when someone else was already here or spotted me first. To remedy that i had built a dugout blind about 130 yards uphill of the Tractor Corpse so I could still see it but have my privacy. And privacy is what I craved desperately at this moment so I stashed my bike and climbed down into the hidden entrance. Once inside I quickly made myself at home and flipped lanterns on and took a seat.
(End of part 1)
The second title to be published by Dark Harvest, an Irish gothic.
Im extremely tempted to grab this but same as shelf space, the wall space is limited. I feel like it would be bad ass to frame it though. Nerdy but classy.
My wife let be hunt for an hour and this is what i found. Was $40 for everything, Howd I do?
This is one of those instances where i took a gambe and it kinda payed out. Ive had this book for a couple of years and when I ordered it it only had stock photos. I figured 50/50 chance it actually has the slipcase. We'll its not the autographed limited edition but it does have a slipcase.
Got a nice little haul yesterday, I haven't found anything at the thrift stores like this in years. Ghoulies II is slightly moldy but I wasnt leaving it.
I popped into the pawnshop near my house and did some browsing. I was able to snag all of these for $1 each.
I've been looking for a nice copy of The Wells Of Hell for what feels like forever. Stoked to finally get a chance to read what I am told is the best Masterson story.
I think ive only read one John Farris novel but I remember liking it. I cant for the life of me remember what it was called but it wasn't Fiends. Starting this tonight.
The pawn shop in my neighborhood has a decent selection of tapes available. Every once in awhile ill come across something I need and it only costs me 1$. Old school pawn shops are awesome.
I have never used this site before but after a Google and some scrolling I came across it. If for nothing else but a List of titles and pictures of the covers it seems cool. Looks like it has purchasing tool built in too if youre Scouting for anything.
Im excited to read the story form of incidents on and off a mountain road. Landsdales story was made into one of the first episodes of the TV series Masters Of Horror.

This is what is left of my my collection. It isnt much but it is mine bought and paid for...mwuahahahahah. also side note, sorry for the dark pictures. My basement isn't finished and has dumb lighting.
Ive been a fan of F. Paul Wilson since reading The Tomb in my teen years. Eventually I was able to find and read The Adversary Cycle in paperbacks but was pleased to find this beautiful book. I wish all my Dark Harvest Books were signed and Slipcased.
