The Hunt: Day 3

The Hotel we stayed at was conveniently minutes away from our next haul. An old man who had bought out a video store. Apparently he had over 5,000 tapes? He flip flopped several times on the phone before our meeting. At first, he had owned a store since 1979 and had yet to sell off any of his stock. By the time we had arrived, he he had bought out a store and had already sold 400 tapes to another collector. We suspect that we lost out on several rare titles because of this.

Nevertheless, I found several tapes that I wanted. The highlight being a copy of House Party 2! FINALLY! I GOT YOU! YOU ELUSIVE COMMON BASTARD!! I picked up around 30 tapes at around $2 a piece. I forgot to take pictures of my haul, but I remember completing my Critters series with 3 and 4, getting two more Jackie Chan big boxes, some horror titles I have never heard of (sick covers only), and a plethora of Ninja titles.

The rest of the day was pretty uneventful. We stopped at an odd second hand junk store in the middle of nowhere. There were nothing but Christian tapes but look at this place! 
I have no idea what was really going on here, but it was pretty cool. I picked up a couple more ninja films at a video store/skate shop/thrift store just down the road. 

Besides those stops, the rest of the stores were either busts or closed. I had my first Hooters experience ever though. The waitresses didn't live up to the hype but I enjoyed my Buffalo chicken. Hooters should really step up their game on their hottest sauce. I got it on my sandwich and was relatively unphased. The hunt continues! I don't think anything major is going down tomorrow, but wish me luck. 

Still Searching:
Deadly Prey
555
Woodchipper Massacre
House Party
Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark (Big Box)
Dark Night Of The Scarecrow
The Town That Dreaded Sundown

Passed this in Myrtle Beach. How sick is that?
