FAVORITE BLACK MAGIC/WITCHCRAFT MOVIE

[Scatter]

That's what I meant.  It wasn't made in the 80's, but in every other way it's an 80's film. 

Ahhhhhh.......well I'll tell ya TR, I didn't look at the date on the video and I went through the entire movie THINKING it was from the 80s!! NANCY AND I LOVED IT!!

It's encouraging to know that these types of movies CAN still be made, but discouraging to know that they so seldom ARE made.

Dude.........GET NETFLIX.  

How Netflix Works

If you're looking for details on how Netflix works, then your quest is at an end. I'll be explaining it all in just a moment, and you'll no doubt be amazed at how simple the process is. Remember, Netflix is all about making your online movie rental experience as painless as possible.

  1. Signing Up and Creating a Queue – To sign up, you'll need to enter information like your mailing address (so you can receive your movies) and credit card number (so you can be billed each month). You'll also need to select a pricing plan, and I'll go into more detail on that in just a bit. After you've taken a few minutes to do the above, it's then time to start stocking your queue with movies. Basically, you browse through all (or part) of Netflix's 100,000 plus movies online and click the "Add" button when you find one you want to see. That DVD rental will immediately be placed in your queue. Each day, over 2 million movies are added to Netflix queues.
  2. Movies Are Sent – Based on your pricing plan, you'll be able to have a certain number of movie rentals at home at any given time. After you return a movie, Netflix will immediately send out the next film at the top of your queue. Don't worry, you can also move items around in your queue if your ever change your mind. Postage is pre-paid, so sending and receiving Netflix movies doesn't cost you a penny. You'll also be glad to know that Netflix has over 58 distribution centers in the United States, which means that 97 percent of their customers will receive their movies one day after they're sent. In fact, Netflix ships an average of two-million DVDs each and every day.
  3. Watch Movies – When you receive your movies in the mail, it's then time to watch them. But don't get in a hurry, as there are no late fees with Netflix. If you want, you can literally keep a movie for months without incurring any extra charges. Just keep in mind that an at-home movie counts against the maximum number of DVD rentals you can have at any given time. If you decide to watch one of the 12,000 films available for instant viewing, you'll be enjoying it within seconds (and it doesn't count against your at-home limit).
  4. Return Movies – When you're finished with a movie, just place it inside the packet it came in, remove the adhesive strip to seal it closed, and drop it in the mail. It's just that easy. And don't worry if the post office loses a Netflix movie rental; you won't be charged for it.
  5. Lather, Rinse, Repeat – That's all there is to it: get movies, watch movies, and return movies. As long as you're a Netflix customer, you'll repeat these same steps over and over.

Instant Viewing on Netflix

If you've subscribed to one of the Netflix Unlimited Plans, then you'll be able to instantly watch a select number of movies and television shows on your TV or computer (and, yes, it does work on the Mac). While watching on your computer doesn't cost extra, viewing on your television will mean a one-time purchase of a Netflix ready device.

   * Samsung Blu-Ray Home Theater Systems (starting at $549)

To watch on either your TV or computer, you'll also need a high-speed internet connection.


OG, I have the $14 plan, which is 2 DVDs out at a time and unlimited streaming. I stream through a Roku WiFi device (which was $99 when I got it but has dropped to about $79 now) and through my Wii system. Movies look great through both systems.

2 at a time is perfect because with 2 jobs and 3 kids I can only watch so many movies. And the streaming is there 24/7 when I have the time but both my DVDs have been watched. I don't know how we lived without it.

Thanks Gary!

This is helpful. One appeal about Blockbuster is that we live near a store, and can go and drop off the recently viewed and get another for free instantly. As it is next to the grocery store, it is not inconvenient, except in keeping our son entertained while scanning for movies to check out.

Prices is easily half too, as to what we're paying for BB, and they've re-instituted store late fees.

Started a separate thread on this in General Discussion..didn't want to hijack, but I just gotta add, I had no idea about the higher price plans.  Seriously who needs 6 to 8 movies out at a time!??  The Osmands?  Kate plus 8?  The Octo-mom?  WTF!??

It's encouraging to know that these types of movies CAN still be made, but discouraging to know that they so seldom ARE made.

Ok just started watching this and I just gotta ask Scatter, while watching this (at least the opening) did you ever think to yourself, "Dang Dee Wallace looks old/rough in this!"?!

[BaronLatos35]

I'll second Netflix. It's worth it OG! My wife and I have the 2 DVD deal and we split them.

House of the Devil has another fan over here as well.

[long live kong]

I remember seeing a film years ago about a nanny/witch who sacrifices babies to a tree (yes a tree!) there was a scene where the tree came alive and dismembered a bunch of biker dudes, I think the film was called 'The Guardian'. Wasn't a mind-blowing film but the thread reminded me of it.

[mjaycox]

My favorite Black Magic/Witchcraft movies are:

1) The Wicker Man (no true supernatural element, but they are paganists)

2) "The Ring" segment of " Black Sabbath

3) Suspiria

4) MacBeth (1971)  (Polanski's version-- the best, most revolting, and scariest wicthes ever out on film, bar none)

5) Black Sunday

Great call on The Wicker Man!

Yeah, Nancy and I both commented on it, but having not looked at the date the movie was made it just didn't register. For all we knew it was a new movie, but shortly into it the 80s vibe just takes you over. Besides, that is Dee's ONLY scene, and it's not to much of a stretch seeing actors made up to look older. For all we knew she was going to be some crazy old witch at the end and that's why she looked old in the beginning of the flick.

The only currently available print of Horror Hotel is a $1 double feature that looks like hell.  Someone needs to restore it and title it with it's alternative name, The City of the Dead.

The city of the dead doesnt fit it either, it should be called "Witches Curse" or "Whitewood Curse"....or "Shadow of the cross"...
