I have found several of the Midnight Movies single features and double Features at my local Big Lots! store.

They had a couple the last time I looked.  Morons From OS/Alien From LA and Invaders From Mars/Strange Invaders. $3.00 ea., I think?

So far, I have picked up the following from Big Lots!

The Abominable Dr Phibes/Dr Phibes Rises Again
Tales of Terror/Twice Told Tales
Invasion of the Star Creatures/Invasion of the Bee Girls
Attack of the Puppet People/Village of the Giants
Strange Invaders/Invaders from Mars
Morons from Outer Space/Alien From LA
Count Yorga Vampire
Bucket of Blood.
I Bury the living


Warner Brothers also had a Horror Double Feature collection.
  Most were Hammer Studios features
Chamber of Horrors/Brides of Fu Manchu
It/The shuttered Room
I walked with a Zombie/The Body Snatcher
Village of the Damned/Children of the Damned
Curse of Frankenstein/Taste the Blood of Dracula
Horror of Dracula
The Mummy

Most of the double features were $3.00-$5.00 -- some were $1.88.

These were bought  one or two at a time over the last year and a half.
You have to wade through a lot of dreck, but that makes finding the gems all the more rewarding.

I've got all the titles on both of your lists, but I think I only got one or two of them from BL. Most of those never showed up at my BL and most of the rest I already had when they did.

Know what you mean about wading through the junk. You really earn those discounts!  :laugh:

Many of the ones at Oldies are $.99 to $3.99.


I have the following for, basically, the cost of postage. One DVD for $3.00 and all 4 for $6.00.  All mint. PM me if interested.

Dr. Phibes Rises Again
"X" The Man With The X-Ray Eyes
Frogs
Bucket of Blood

(Frogs and Bucket DVDs have the same box art/text as the VHS boxes, but without the MM logo.)

Mike, sorry I'm getting back to you late.  I just discovered a place that has a bunch for $1 to $2 and am working on those.  I may post back again though once I've exhausted them and I see what I still need.

No problem! Are those $1-2 ones new (sealed), or used?

Well crap! I knew it was too good to be true! Turns out those OOP titles at Oldies.com are NOT AVAILABLE after all. It looks like they are, till you go to the individual listings. Back to "collector prices", I guess!

Used.  They all appear to be the more common titles but I'll let everyone know if I come up with one the rarer titles.

Not to long ago I realized that I didn't have The Fall of the House of Usher or The Tomb of Ligeia / An Evening of Edgar Allan Poe nor did I have Dr. Phibes Rises Again; Well I was able to procure "Tomb/Evening" and the double feature of Abominable Dr. Phibes/Dr. Phibes Rises Again thru Deep Discount but wasn't having much luck with "House of Usher" (12 bucks used thru Amazon/Ebay).  I happened into a V Stock this evening and they actually had two used copies of "House of Usher", 5 bucks!!  I couldn't believe it and of course I couldn't pass it up!

One of my favorites of the series and here I didn't even know I didn't have it on dvd, though I did have it on vhs as part of a Vincent Price set.

Wow! I have to say.......I am very fortunate to live in a city where finding out-of-print and older DVDs are easier to locate. There is a used record/video store in Las Vegas that has a large surplus of hard-to-find  DVDs. New and used.
The aforementioned DVDs you posted are still at my local ZIA Records. Years after being released.

If I knew you were looking for those particular titles, I would have posted the info.

Z.H., if you are looking for any other title(s)......let me know. I bet I could find 'em. Maybe at a cheaper price. Especially on those MGM/AIP Midnight movies titles.

I haven't looked into the prices on these (I know some are easier to find than others) but here are 6 more Midnite Movies I still want to pick up;

Tales of Terror/Twice Told Tales (Another one that I can't believe I don't already have!)
Count Yorga Vampire/The Return of Count Yorga (Just watched these on Netflix and would love to add them to my collection!)
Planet of the Vampires (Again something I just watched on Netflix and want to add to my collection)
The Attic/Crawlspace
What's the Matter with Helen?/Whoever Slew Auntie Roo? (I've actually seen this one around in stores, just haven't picked it up!)
Panic in Year Zero!/Last Man on Earth

Z.H., I will keep an eye out for these titles, and p.m. you. I am actually going movie shopping this weekend. I'm pretty
sure I will find something you on your list.  ;D ;D ;D
