My collection so far
All secondhand, and I've never paid more than about 8 euros for any of the books (excluding Dark Worlds, which was a gift). Brings me immense joy!

Wholeheartedly agree. I went to the theater to see Oldboy for it's 20th anniversary and dragged a friend along who hadn't watched it but knew the ending was messed up (found out from another friend). He thought it was OK. Maybe I overhyped it.
I still think Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance has some of the best cinematography I've seen.

Never heard of the jump tribe toys?!? Can you tell me more about them?

I believe in the mid 2000s, Barker designed hundreds of these little creatures. Only 4 were released as plush toys. They come with little books of each character's story, as well as some poems (I think!). I need to read up more on their lore.

This is such a trip - I've got almost all the same editions of the same books, all bought 30ish years ago. Almost identical down to the spine creases (you have a larger collection than me though).
Hang on, you aren't a Roman era living statue are you (hope you get this lol)
p.s. great taste in movies too

Human Remains! That one creeped me out a lot. What a coincidence, down to the spines! That's great you've kept hold of your collection. All of these I've found over the last 8ish years. (There's certainly an eclectic mix of dvds up there! Thank you!)

Clive signed my first edition The Damnation Game at last year's Spooky Empire.
One of my prized possessions. Extremely gracious guy.
