@d0gg0d all of those are some of my favorites, and I watch all of them any time I get a chance to. I own them all on bluray/dvds of course. (especially dead alive)
Are we showing our age/s when we talk about DVDs? Most young people today wouldn't know what a DVD is, or a CD. My first DVD player cost $600 and my first digital camera $1000+ (1.4 MP). I used to be an early adopter but those days are long gone.
Being a cheapskate I always went for gen 2 stuff. I figured I was getting 70-80% of the bang for a third of the price. Then again I still have the first car I ever bought 48 years ago. That's cheap!
...and the same girl too.Well technically, I dont use the discs anymore. I have a slew of multi-terrabyte sized hard drives that contain the ripped discs (with all the bonus features,etc), and set up my own streaming setup for my own personal use. Probably 95% or more of every horror movie ever made before year 1996 (including the never released and impossible to find stuff, bootlegs, VHS rips, etc)
I can watch on any device that I want to (phone, tv, computer) as long as it has internet access (if not, I can still "cast" to a device from my phone, if their device supports casting), and I grant access to them. If im at someone elses house hanging out, I shut their privelege down for them when I leave). Pretty cool setup, more horror selection than netflix or any other service by far. Sometimes stream outside to a big screen projector for backyard movie nights with friends
Nice setup gts6.
I should set up a big HD with my TV because at the moment I'm just using lots of thumb drives and forget what's on which.@frank22 set up a Plex server is one of the easier ways, (plus you can also stream Plex content if you dont mind sitting through their advertisements). The setup will give you full menu system like netflix and the rest, and title info, directors, actors, etc. for each of your files (as long as they are named properly so the server can pull the metadata from other servers)
this is a sample of my setup, you can click on any and get more info,play, or select subtitles or see who is in it and who made it. And can click further on that info for more info and related movies available to play
Considering that quite a bit of my stuff is... em... "erotic" I'm not so sure I'd like my (softcore) pron/hentai collection visible off-site to Plex which collects my personal data, IP address etc. Plex got hacked in 2022 with 30 million subscriber's data stolen. Plex users get a “week in review” email that shows them what they and their friends had watched on your/their media server. Their "Discover Together" feature shows your or your friends' porn habits and other viewed content. I don't think this privacy hell-hole is for me.
