You know that fabulous used sale we’ve going on right now? This Saturday, October 18th, it’s going to get even better. Prices on every used item, and we mean EVERY used item will be slashed even further. How much further? Well…
ALL DVDs will be $4…OR LESS
ALL VHS & LASERDISCS will be…$1 OR LESS
Crimeny! In most cases, that’s less than renting it!
You may be thinking, “Sure, those are extraordinary deals, but what’s left to choose from?” As of Wednesday morning there are still many many quality titles left, including recent titles like Into the Wild and Michael Clayton, along with many choices for anime fans and kids (and you know how kids like to watch things over and over and over and over again…). There’s plenty of interesting rare VHS tapes (like a tape of MTVs House of Style for your 90s revival film festival) and whole TV series as well. And did we mention the sale also includes used ADULT titles…Hmm…you’ll find those upstairs in the Sexploitation section.
The fervor kicks off when the doors open at 11am on Saturday and runs through Monday, October 20th. Don’t forget to bring a bag/box/team of oxen* to haul your goods away.
*Please do not try to bring an oxen team inside the store. They can enjoy the greenery of our adjacent parking lot.

We know you’ve got a busy weekend to get to so we’ll just hit the bullet points and let you explore from there:
–Friday, October 3rd (TONIGHT!) is BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER triva at Neptune Coffee in Greenwood. Like our 80s Movie Trivia Night, this is also a benefit for Neptune’s across the street neighbors 826 Seattle, a non-profit writing and tutoring center for students 6-18. It’s $5 a person to play, and they’ll be prizes a plenty. Start thinking about all the bands that played the Bronze.
–Also TONIGHT is the fancy kick off party for the 11th annual LOCAL SIGHTINGS FILM FESTIVAL at the Northwest Film Forum. They’ll be drinkin’ and dancin’ and red carpet struttin’ along with hobbing and nobbing with luminaries in the film community. The fest is chock full of local films of all genres, showcases, panels with knowlegeable people and surprises and much more. It runs through Oct. 8th.
–When you visit the store this weekend, be sure to stop by the front counter and enter to win two tickets to the REVENANT FILM FESTIVAL, a “showcase of undead cinema” on Friday, October 11th at the Museum of History and Industry. Follow the link for some gruesome trailers!
–Save the date of Wednesday, October 22nd for a screening of RetarDead (the sequel to the indie cult fave Monsterud) at 7pm at the Historic University Theater. You can learn more about the movie here and here. Judging by the photos, this film is probably a lot of sick dumb fun, just what we’re looking for this time of year.
–The 13th annual SEATTLE LESBIAN AND GAY FILM FESTIVAL starts Friday, October 17th. We love the posters and will soon have a bunch of them in our front window. We just started browsing the lineup and already know we are definitely seeing this.
One word of advice for the next few days is to call ahead if you want to check out Iron Man or Forgetting Sarah Marshall. We can hold New Releases for an hour. What will you be watching this weekend?
Stay dry and happy viewing, everyone.

A change of season brings with it a change of special sections. As we say goodbye to summer, so do we say it for The Best Of The Last Twenty Years section and the SIFF section. But cheer up sad clown ’cause its October, and that means only one thing: Halloween! And we have a trio of sections to sate your hunger for the horrible.
Located behind the beginning of the new releases (the former location of The Best Of The Last Twenty Years section) you will find two general Halloween sections. The first is a large collection of horror, hand-picked by the staff. If you are in the mood for something frightening, gruesome or just down-right nasty, you can be sure find a title to suit your needs here. And right next to it is the Kid’s Halloween section, perfect for the little ghouls and goblins.
And if that was not enough, October’s spotlight section (located near the entrance to the store) shines its light on Australian Horror. Check out what blood-curdling frights our friends from down under have stirred up.
Taking the place of the SIFF section is a special employee curated section, Don’t Mess With Texas, featuring titles shot in the great Lone Star state.
And lastly, and most sadly, we have devoted the entire New To Store section (located near the entrance to the store) to the films of the late Paul Newman.
And the customer inventory computers are now BOTH currently back on-line*. Sorry for the inconvenience.
*subject to time of day and current whim of fate

The iconoclastic director of such films as Sid & Nancy and Repo Man will be here at Scarecrow TOMORROW, Tuesday, September 30th at 1pm. He’ll be signing DVDs and copies of his new autobiography X Films: True Confessions of a Radical Filmmaker. Enjoy an excerpt of it here. We’ll have it on sale here for $14.95.
He’ll also be at Grand Illusion Cinema that night at 7 and 9 pm presenting his new film Searchers 2.0.
According to his Wikipedia page, Cox declined an offer to direct Three Amigos. Make plans to skip class/call in sick/take a long lunch so you can ask him if that’s true and how he made that difficult decision.
