![]() | Jaws 3
Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $3.74 This time the shark manages to swim into Sea World in Orlando which is smack dab in the middle of the state, that is to say, land-locked. Wait, I'm wrong. They MOVED Orlando from the center of the state to the east coast so that the shark would be able to swim in. Right. That makes much more sense.

|
![]() | Frogs
Buy new: $9.98 / Used from: $1.37 Shot in north Florida in the dead of winter, this was one of the first eco-horror flix on the market. I love the 4th of July party where everyone is wearing long-sleeved shirts and sweaters! In real life they would have keeled over in 10 minutes from the heat!

![]() | The Defilers/The Scum of the Earth

|
![]() | The Gruesome Twosome (Special Edition)
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $3.64 This is really Herschell Gordon Lewis at his dumbest. I can't believe that he made us sit there and watch two wig heads talk to each other for 15 minutes just so that he could have enough footage to complete a film!

Buy new: $9.98 / Used from: $5.45 DEATH CURSE is about archaeologists and a ticked off ancient Seminole shaman.

|
![]() | ALAS BABYLON by Pat Frank

![]() | They Bite [VHS]
Buy used from: $24.99 An entry in the horror/comedy porn category that was a crossover into mainstream films and is the hardest "R" rated film I've ever seen for sexual content.

I mean it stars Jeremy, not that he's the murderous creature.
