Videos I've Watched

I love movies (and the occasional TV series, I suppose), particularly those of the horror, cult, sleaze, and "oddity" variety. My personal collection reaches over 1,000 physical and eclectic entries, and is ever mutating. Don't expect quality, but instead utterances of "what... the...", although you may find the occasional mainstream release (currently, my only prejudice is "bought mah cam at a department store" films). Entries in this style I particularly liked. Have some suggestions for me? Email morbus@disobey.com.
