I was going through our drawer of VHS tapes when I was a around 5 or 6, I put in a tape I thought had one of my movies on it, it did not, it had Full Metal Jacket and just so happened to be stopped right before the suicide scene. Well I watched that and while I didn't know what it was, the imagery of that scene were burned into my head permanently, it was something that would randomly pop into my head for years and I didn't quite understand why. I watched Full Metal Jacket in my teens and it clicked, I finally realized what this scene that had haunted me from a young age was from. It was a strange feeling of relief.

The Shining had a similar situation for me with the bathtub scene. And at some point I caught an image of Freddy Krueger at a very young age that caused me to have a recurring nightmare for almost a decade of a giant Freddy killing me in the bathroom at a house I lived in when I was 4 years old. Kinder trauma
As a young teen I had a couple of nightmares about Uncle Deadly from The Muppet Show. Oh, and a number of nightmares as a kid about the green, animated snakes from "Doc Savage: The Man of Bronze."

Your trauma is better than mine.

I gotta thank Mondo/DW sometimes for giving me that little nudge needed to finally knock an OG off the wantlist.

These are some great stories. @inks the giant Freddy would be intense, yikes. I think mine were a bit tame in comparison but the woman's cyborg transformation in Superman III was horrifying to me as a young kid. A few of those early 80's practical effects transformations would creep me out like in Troll or Swamp Thing.

So Mondo announced a 3LP Dune OST. Said it was limited to 3k units, one time pressing.

So of course, I rush and order it. It sells out, then they say keep an eye out for the Black Version next year....

Can you not hype up a ONE TIME ONLY GET IT ASAP, to then get all the FOMO sales to announce the good version?

It is, as they say here in England mate, a ‘Cunt’s Trick’.

I'm waiting to see the film before I buy anything related to it. The reviews have been kind of middling so I'm keeping my expectations in check.

Wha.. the one with the unfortunate-looking cover? Anybody else not like to listen to albums before they watch a really anticipated new film? I know it's been delayed for a year or so, but still, I don't want to memorize all the cues before I see it. On top of that, I really don't want the OST to have a "one time only pressing" sell out before I could even listen to it, so I am glad to see the black vinyl being planned. Hopefully they change the cover art... lol.

I do try to wait to see the movie first, especially as song titles are sometimes spoilers. I have Halloween Kills sitting on my player waiting until after I see the film on Friday.

I didn't wait on the Dune record because Hanz is usually pretty reliable, and as it was limited, if I don't like it, I know I can break even at the very least.

As an aside, got my copies of Metal Gear 2 and Snakes Revenge from Mondo. Both sporting lovely 2-3 inch seam splits!

This is a pre-order for February so even if you ordered it the chances were high that you had the opportunity to watch it first.
I am going to see it tomorrow. And the score I probably will never get.

The new normal with anything limited. Just look up Nintendo's N64 Switch controllers. Limited, $50 and selling on ebay for well over $100.

I can’t remember the last time this happened with a mondo release I wanted. Hopefully the black will be more plentiful because this is actually one that’s high on my list

It's funny. I bought the color when Mondo sneakily made it sound that it was a one time pressing... Only to announce after that the COLOR was a one time pressing. I might be tempted to sell my color when it comes in at those prices and order the black.

Probably will level off price wise once the black launches. I didn't buy with the intent to "scalp" or make money, but that's the world of vinyl I guess.

I'm betting the black will be pressed in a way higher amount.

I was on the road to Florida Wednesday so I missed the release of Hook which is sold out and going for stupid prices on ebay now. If anyone knows where I might still be able to get one let me know. Much appreciated.

I believe they are repressing it in 2022.
