    More UK newspaper givaways

    Yes, the Brits have struck horror film oil again as the UK's most expensive toilet roll, The Sun is giving away more collectable dvd's in the form of a horror marathon.

    Monday - Halloween
    Tuesday - The Evil Dead
    Wednesday - Children of the Corn
    Thursday - Scanners
    Friday - Flowers in the Attic
    Saturday - Hellraiser
    Sunday - Hellraiser II

    The whole lot is worth over 50 quid so cut out those coupons and collect your free movies! You never know, might be worth something in years to come.

    The Sun newspaper run a completely fabricated (front page?) article claiming that Liverpool fans were seen "stealing" from the pockets of their dead family members and friends.

    The people of Liverpool still remember that, almost everyone here knew someone who died there, a cousin, a brother, a friend, even a friend of a friend, and they remember that the sun refused to apologise or admit to that story being fabricated, and as a result ... the majority of the city still refuse to buy the sun.

    Old wounds i guess.

    Well, I'm not gonna let a false headline written 22 years ago stop me from getting my dvd's, not matter how tragic it was. Damn, I can't wait to get Scanners. I ain't seen a digital transfer of that movie yet - can't wait.

    Yeah if nothing else get the extra DVD's for future trading material or gifts.


    Beware the beast, man, for he is the Devil's pawn. Alone among God's primates, he kills for sport or lust or greed. Yea, he will murder his brother to possess his brother's land. Let him not breed in great numbers, for he will make a desert of his home and yours. Shun him, drive him back into his jungle lair, for he is the harbinger of death.

    Are the DVDs any good, or just vanilla releases?

    I wonder if any of them are cut still? You never know ... not trying to golden shower your parade, just finkin'-aht-lahhhd....

    All versions are uncut including the Hellraiser series which was heavily censored in it's many VHS versions. The Evil Dead, Halloween and Scanners, all in their intended glory.

    Watched a couple of 'em, sweet as a nut mate.
