Are CDs and DVDs considered "printed matter"?

No I think it just covers books and magazines but not posters or prints.

The book looks pretty good, but the DJ is in terrible condition. I'd get a repro and put on it.

But, I don't pay any customs charges on the DVDs and CDs I buy from overseas.

Unfortunately no Foggy although Christmas is coming up? So if any of you thread readers want to gift me with a copy I WON'T say no.

No. Rare book collecting is an expensive hobby! Wouldn't mind having the Creature photoplay, though!  (I have a pb reprint of the text.)

There were loads of the Alfred Hitchcock Dell PB's this is only a drop in the ocean. AS always with hitch, darkly humourous, and clever titles. I wonder how much input he had in the artwork?

Hitchcock likes to carry around his own head on the cover of a couple those paperbacks🤪🤪🤔😂

[tv horror]

Yes he was always one to get aHEAD of his scare's!

Been reading up on the novel adaptions of films and TV by John Burke, and there were some interesting covers for them too....

I don't have the Dr Terror's house of horror Crypt volume but I do have the rest and quite a few collected ghost stories I love mostly the Victorian and Edwardian era, some of those stories hit the mark. 

[tv horror]

I especially loved the Pan book of horror stories series and have most of them, here is a little video of some of their covers enjoy.

Pulps an paperbacks are really affordable these days compared to comics👍👍 an they are almost just as cool🆒🆒

What do you guys think is the greatest horror movie director for the last 50 years?

A few greats that come to mind:

John Carpenter

Wes Kraven

Sam Raimi

Tobe Hooper

Ridley Scott (he's more than horror but Alien is one of the all time horror greats)

 

-John

Terence Fisher! I've never seen a bad horror film he made, they have always been very watchable.
