At Wal-Mart for 12 cents


I bought it at Wal-mart for 12 cents in some corny cardboard case. There are a ton of crappy old movies in a bin, don't know if every wal-mart has it though, just thought I'd let people know.

12 cents is about what it's worth. I have it in a 50 movie Horror pack that was $20 (got it at Borders), which makes each movie less than 2 bucks. Pretty sweet, if you like "Maniac," check out that movie pack, it's full of little gems like that (though it has some actual good ones, like "Night of the Living Dead," "House on Haunted Hill," and "The Last Man on Earth").

Actually I hated it haha. It was pretty bad, but I wanted to see what was so shocking. And I know what movie pack you speak of, I almost bought it a few months ago. Might buy it later, but I already have some movies in it. Still it's cheap.

And you can blame it on me, just set your guilt free honey, I don't want to hold you back now love.

Yes, that is the same pack that I have. It is full of B-classics. Some worse than others, but thats what makes them fun to watch. Funny thing about this one is that it stays more faithful to Poe's "The Black Cat" than does the later film of the same name. Lots of laughs and great fun if your into B as in Bad movies!

I may not have a big tricked out name tag, but I did stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night.

I saw some resemblance to Poe's Black Cat, as well. I also found it to be entertaining, albeit rather flawed. Some of the acting, like the real coroner, was laughably bad, and the man going crazy who the lab assistant injected with something felt out of place. All in all, though, I rather enjoyed it and gave it a generous 7/10. It helped that I had the "Stuff to watch for" from http://www.badmovies.org/movies/maniac/ sitting by my side to make it even more enjoyable. I also made a shirt what says, "You can tune a guitar, you can tuna fish, but you cannot tune a man who thinks he is a guitar-playing fish," which is something he learned from this movie.

Wath it thomething I thaid?

Ouch 30 cents? I would return it. To be honest...I will admit I paid...gasp...25 cents since I didn't want the change...I am ashamed. I could have bought a gumball.

This is a nice fish. Big ƒuckin eyes. But a nice ƒuckin fish.

You overpaid.

I'd pay top dollar for a nice edition of this awesome movie.

Yes, the others don't know what they are talking about.
