Can't wait for Thursday night. It's been a verrrrrry long time since i have had genuine nervousness about seeing a film.
We have a "city wide garage sale" in Austin. I collect cameras, and I sell cameras. I was at a table, seller has mostly cameras out, no prices on anything. Condition is everything. I'm checking stuff out, looking for scratches, fungus, etc. in the lens. Seller gets annoyed and tells me I'm not allowed to look at cameras until AFTER I buy them. I ask how I am supposed to know WHAT I am buying if I don't look at it? He gets very rude and I walk off. A seller at another table actually got upset and complained to the sale's management on my behalf. I've never been back. The fun twist to this story is that years ago I actually bought something from this guy off ebay. It showed up broken. I asked for a return, he freaked out, but had to take it back per ebay's policies. He then blocked me. I didn't realize it was the same guy until months after he freaked out in person at the sale. I participate as a vendor at camera meets/shows. If I don't want people to touch something, I put it in a case. If it's out on the table, it's expected that somebody is going to pick it up and look at it.
The few physical media shops in my area all price ABOVE eBay prices. So, I quit shopping brick & mortar (probably they have high rents).
Have you got Beyond Re-Animator (2003)
Stickers are a bane on everything....I HATE STICKERS on all of that stuff....comics, games....literally everything!!! 🤬
Store owners forcing me to Jack Merch! I can’t believe it!😈
I'm watching it Thursday night, I'm super hyped. 😁🤘
Hope you enjoy it!
BRO I’M SO JEALOUS 😭🙏
It takes place between 92 and 2000. There's a framed photo of Bill Clinton in one of the scenes.
Yes, that is a clue, it's definitely earlier than later in the '90s.
Does he do the killngs himself or is like a possession type thing because all you see in the trailers is people going crazy
No spoilers here!
Going to have to wait friday better hurry up😂
Have you played ALAN WAKE II? If you liked this film you will love it. I also recommend the book HOUSE OF LEAVES.
I have not played Alan Wake II, I have played the first, I'll have to check that and the book out!
I’d definitely second this. House of Leaves, for me, is the scariest book I’ve ever read. Reading through it for the second time as we speak
Lovely review. Your description of the film is the best i’ve seen.
Thank you for the kind words!
Shoutout Gunnar Henderson🐤
I'm not an Orioles fan, but goddamn that guy is good at baseball.
@@HunterBoldingVideo me either. Insane for how young he is
Didn't I save him or his son from hotel-dwelling cannibals in New Vegas?
Here in Portugal by law you pay the price that is tagged on the product. Even if someone makes a mistake or theres a typo on the price, by law the store must sell you the item for that price. Once I bought $1200 stereo for $12. 😂
Hot damn, that's quite the deal, this specific situation was at an "upscale" flea market/swap meet, so it wasn't really a store, more like a booth.
@@HunterBoldingVideo that was on a major store. It´s in the law here, you pay what´s on the price tag and if you are lucky to find something wrongly tagged with a price , no matter where you buy the thing in a regular store, by law you are entitled to buy it for that price. The stores don´t even try to argue because they know in court they will loose. On a flea market type situation that does not apply and of course you can just take the whole thing back and refuse to sell, etc. But on a regular store, the price you pay is the price that´s tagged. No matter what you buy. I´ve purchased many things over the years at insane low prices because of that. Now and then you go through a store and see stuff with the wrong price. It´s been a Portguese consumer law for decades and decades and decades now. :) The most expensive thing I got was that stereo set up, with cd player, columns the whole thing. For $12. But over the years I got "good deals" :) on other things like clothes, cds, dvds, blurays, books, ( on major stores like "FNAC", "WORTEN", etc ); regular food stuff ( on the supermarkets you find stuff wrongly tagged all the time ), etc. It´s not even an issue here. You pay the price that is tagged and that´s it. Too bad if it happens for the store but the law is on the client´s side on this.
I’m not a Skinamarink hater, so that comparison has me so hyped! I feel like I have been desensitized to jump-scare and visual horror, so these types of films are what I have been craving.
It's obviously not exactly the same, but if you liked Skinamarink, you'll like this one.
Me too. I liked skinamarink
Can’t wait for this!! This and civil war were my most anticipated this year!
Civil War was awful
@@RyanPatrick-yy7zi you’ll live 🤷♂️ One of the best theater experiences imo! Way better than maxxxine.
Still have to catch Civil War, but I've heard good things.
@@HunterBoldingVideo yea I have no idea what some of the people saying it sucks are on, it’s exactly what I was expecting it to be 🤷♂️
using a hair dryer is best way to remove stickers it keeps u from scratching cover simple
For over 10 years I have been buying vhs movies offline from images from ebay for 10 dollars everything proven when they come in my house they become free whiching until i get rid of them
FOREVER IRON MAIDEN
Here's the problem: More people than not ARE still buying them despite all that sketchy stuff. Enough people ARE trying to steal the disks when they open them. It's enough people ruining it for the rest of us. No joke, this extends way beyond something like physical media stores. There are so many food places (Pizza, Chinese food, Indian food, etc.) where I live that refuse to either A. Deliver. or B. Accept anything other than cash because enough people figured out a way to fake payments online or outright steal food from delivery drivers that it's no longer an option for those of us who aren't complete douchebags.
seriously can we pls drop BTL and LAM already?? At least give em a break for one full tour.
As much as I’d like to see this too, those songs are not for fans like you and I, they’re there for the first-timers seeing the band.
Not to be an asshole but, If the film or game you're buying is scratched, disc rotted, or damaged that's what 30 day return policies are for. Just stating the obvious. If you are at a physical media store, this shouldn't be an issue. If the product isn't up to par, you bring it back for a replacement or a refund. If it happens more often than not, that's when you take your business elsewhere. It's a formula that's been practiced for decades.
Saw the Steelbook at Walmart today, but it was $38.99. The audio commentary is from the Old *MGM Midnight Movies* DVD from 2001, and so are all the other extra features which explains why they are all in Fullscreen. I can't believe Shot factor didn't bother to create any new extra features at all for such a major fan favorite film. All they gave us was a colorful 4k scan and a whole bunch of slipcovers.
I do like both
In Australia, I am glad that any attempt to change the price like that is illegal under the Trade Practices Act. We would be entitled to complain to the Australian Consumer and Competition Commission who would then fine the living daylights out of them.
Would’ve loved to see griftwood with the sisters of sin, the videos from hellfest were amazing and it would’ve fit the larger feeling of the concert
What's your favorite hidden gem? 🐧🍏🍎💙
There’s a gaming store in Cape Town called pwnedgames-they are guilty of 3/5 of these issues. Nothing has prices. You take the item to the checkout and the owner (or his pet) will fire up eBay to check the prices and charge you what it will cost them to restock it. Usually the most expensive price.
If they won't let you look inside the case (pawn shops), they know the discs are messed up or worse, filled with dead roaches and cockroach droppings.
This review is too long winded.
Thanks for the comment! I'll make sure to take that into account, very constructive!
One time I bought a Blu-ray called star trek discovery season 1 but the disc was a movie called forbidden planet so I took it back for a change
Man...that's some sleezy shops you're dealing with pal....I wouldn't shop at any of those.
I haven’t shopped at any of these places since, luckily SoCal still has some great stores.

Bait and switch is ILLEGAL. The legality of a business charging more than the price marked on a product varies by jurisdiction, but generally, it is considered illegal and falls under consumer protection laws. Here are some key points regarding this issue: ## General Principles 1. **False Advertising and Overcharging**: Most jurisdictions have laws that prohibit businesses from charging more than the advertised or marked price. This practice is often referred to as "false pricing" or "overcharging" and can lead to both civil and criminal penalties. For example, California's Business & Professions Code § 12024.2(a) makes it unlawful to charge a customer more than the price advertised, posted, marked, or quoted for an item[3]. 2. **Consumer Protection Laws**: Many states have specific consumer protection laws that address pricing accuracy. These laws typically require that the price charged at the register must match the price displayed on the item or on a shelf tag. If there is a discrepancy, consumers are generally entitled to pay the lower price[11]. 3. **Penalties for Violations**: The penalties for overcharging can vary. In California, an overcharge over $1 can be considered a misdemeanor, punishable by fines and potentially imprisonment. Lesser overcharges might be treated as infractions with smaller fines[3]. ## State-Specific Regulations 1. **New York**: In New York, the law requires that the price charged must not exceed the lowest advertised, written, posted, or marked price. Violations can result in civil penalties, and repeated offenses can lead to more severe consequences[9]. 2. **Connecticut**: Connecticut law mandates that if an electronic price is higher than the reduced price marked on a sign, the consumer is entitled to one item of that commodity at no cost. This aims to protect consumers from electronic pricing errors[2]. 3. **Ohio**: In Ohio, while there is no explicit prohibition against charging more than the marked price, consumer protection laws require clear disclosure of product pricing. If a business complies with disclosure requirements, it may not necessarily be illegal to charge a higher price, but this is often subject to interpretation and enforcement by state authorities[12]. ## Reporting and Enforcement Consumers who encounter overcharging can report the issue to their state's consumer protection agency or the local weights and measures department. These agencies are responsible for ensuring pricing accuracy and can conduct inspections and impose penalties on businesses that violate pricing laws[6][14]. ## Conclusion While the specifics can vary by state, the general rule is that businesses are not allowed to charge more than the price marked on a product. This practice is considered deceptive and is regulated under various consumer protection laws. Consumers who experience such issues should report them to the appropriate authorities for resolution.

Check your state laws on price changing. In most, this is illegal and needs to be reported. Car dealerships get in trouble all the time for this “practice”
This was from an upscale “flea market” stall, not exactly a store.
What’s the name of the pop in the background with white hair and green skin?
Looks like an Iron Maiden "Eddie" (band mascot)
It’s the special edition glow in the dark Iron Maiden Killers Eddie.
@@HunterBoldingVideo looks cool
if someone told me "well it's x $ on ebay" I'd just tell them I'll go buy it from ebay then.
Yeah, if I’m driving or walking down to the store, that’s me paying “shipping” on whatever I’m buying.
It’s the law in the UK, if there is a price on the item, that’s what you pay….no matter what the shopkeeper says. Yeah stickers are a bugbear of mine 😬 nice one mate, take care👍😃👍
Thanks for the kind words! This was from an upscale “flea market” stall, so it wasn’t exactly a store.
@@HunterBoldingVideo ahh fair enough, still scummy behaviour from the seller.
You shouldnt feel bad for wanting to stop things from disappearing forever. If anything, those people should feel bad for letting it happen.
Theres a comic shop that i used to frequent, everytime i walked in the door the owner would begin "casually" following me around. I, in no way, look shady i promise 😂
Just gotta ask you if you’re looking for anything! 😂
i'm a bookworm and stores do that to hardbacks and paperback's it's such a pain in the ass. some also do that to comic books as well for some reason
Putting a sticker on a comic book should be illegal.
@@HunterBoldingVideo agreed
Some stores sell re-sealed used discs so you have to buy it before you know how scratched up it is. 🤔
Five Below does that.
Gamestop I've had horrible experiences with them. That's why I shop at pawn shops and thrift stores just make sure you look to see if the right disc is in the case it's in good condition or to see if it's in there at all
Never encountered any of these red flags but I initially built up a sizeable blu-ray collection from buying from a national Pawn shop chain. I found the 1960's Batman TV series blu-rays at one of these stores, they were in their 3 separate blu-ray cases without the box but I bought them anyway, stupidly without checking all the discs. Popped the first season 1 disc in and it glitched and skipped and froze constantly, took it out and it was scratched. So I took it back the next day - they have a 90-day return policy and got my money back...no problem. Went back a few days later and they'd put it back out on the shelf for sale, with the same scratched seas 1 disc...
Ooof, putting out the damaged merchandise is pretty scummy of them.
@@HunterBoldingVideo Yup. They don't care - My buddy buys 2nd hand games from them and they're frequently badly scratched and in some cases there's the wrong disc or no disc at all, meaning they don't even check them when they buy them
My son collects TCG cards like pokemon. There are about 5 stores nearby and everyone doesn't bother pricing anymore. They all say "go to tcg player on your phone to get the price"... so annoying
That 1st example is called bait and switch. Companies are required to sell you the product at the lowest advertised price. If they raise the price at the register that's a misdemeanor. If it can be shown that the employees of a particular location all engaged in this misdemeanor it would then be conspiracy to commit a misdemeanor which is in fact a felony. I would encourage anybody who gets stuck in this particular situation to inform any employee of this, and see how they reply.
This was a smaller “store” at something like an upper scale flea market.
@@HunterBoldingVideo I appreciate where you are coming from, but being a small operation at a flea market does not exempt them from the law.
2nd hand Charles has 1 sticker that comes off easily try getting a 5$ library book for 100$ talk about stickers
Avoid Vintage Stock. Every time I buy used movies there, the discs are sooo scratched and unplayable. They don’t let you look at the discs before purchasing.
Thank you. Dont miss that nonsense at all. All of this is unacceptable. Dont settle for less!
Definitely, we deserve better as customers!
My husband was like why’d you pay extra for the PS5 with the disk drive? I looked at him and was like do you KNOW me at all?! physical media is king
Better to have the option than not to!
Damn you got a big head!! You’re on the last hole! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I do, it's a problem when I go to hat stores and see cool snapbacks.
