My latest plan has been foiled. =/

I tried to buy House on Haunted Hill in bulk from some amazon.com. Alas, even if I buy several copies of the same exact product, from the same seller, I still have to pay shippage and handling on each individual unit.

Sooo, I've found some things, and I'd be eager if you guys (especially parents in the forum =o ) could give me your impression of the "rating" of each item as far as child-friendlyness

I've developed a specialized rating system

P-Film is suitable for cute little tykes dressed up as pumkins who say "Twik or teet!" or a similar adorably bastardized variation on "trick or treat'.

S-Film is suitable for kids who's costumes involve skulls, weapons, and definate gender variation, and/or are out alone.

C-Film is suitable for mildly creepy slouching teenagers who look as if they;'re going to vandalize your entire neighborhood in an act of retaliation if you don't give them free candy. Film is also suitable for giggling 13-16 year old groups of females who judging by their socialization are siamese triplets.


Films Include:

King of the Zombies
Dead Men Walk (1943)
Horror of Dracula (1957)
King of the Zombies (1941)
Jesse James meets Frankenstein's Daughter (1965)
The Monster Maker (1944, Director Sam Newfield)
The Big Cat (1933)
Vampire Bat (1932)
Devil Bat (1941)

I eagerly await feedback. =o

I get free shipping from Amazon.com, so I could order it and have it shipped to you.   Well, er, you gotta pay me back!

Fuzzy Necromancer

I am an Amazon Prime member, which says free shipping in two days.   Now, if you are buying used from some online seller, I do not know if my free shipping applies or not..... I dont think it does.

Just went there and looked, buying new from Amazon would be 5.99 each (no shipping) and used from "pieceofmindmedia" would be $3.70 each.

NEVER MIND........ the above is for the 1999 remake.    I cannot get amazon prime free shipping on used.

=/ arrr.

Yeah, there's lots of lesser sellers who give it for 43 cents, 26 cents, even 1 cent, but not amazon.com itself

Sooo, anyone got some ratings? ^^;

Doctor Who?

Have you tried Wal-Mart or Dollar Tree?

You can find alot of those types of movies in the $1 DvD sections of both those stores.

I've tried dollar tree. One of them I had success at. The other I didn't.

I had a good run of luck finding a cheap kids movie at Dollar Tree, although there was only one copy.
