Shiny Plastic Disk: Creature From The Black Lagoon

Happy Halloween!

And what a Halloween it's been so far. First thing I did this morning (well... afternoon) was hit up the Halloween costume spots to see if there was anything cool on sale, etc. Sadly, they all seemed to be pretty well stripped, but I'm not sure any of them had anything interesting to begin with. It's shocking to see just how lame these "fright" shops are. Really sad.

On my way home I stopped in at a local video shop (one of the larger chains) that's in the process of closing down, and checked out their shelves. All of their titles had gone down to 50% off today, so I crossed my fingers... and ended up getting lucky!

Creature From The Black Lagoon

There on the shelf was a copy of Creature From The Black Lagoon, which I picked up for five dollars. From the look of it--the lack of scratches, fingerprints, etc.--the thing has never been rented. And I'm thrilled because I've been trying to find a copy of this film all month with no luck.

Fantastic!
