Alright, alright, let’s talk about them… whatchamacallit… horror movie steelbooks, yeah, that’s the ticket! You know, them shiny metal cases for the scary movies? Folks seem to like ’em, so I guess they’re a thing now. I don’t get it much, but my grandson, he’s all about ‘em. Says they look cool on the shelf. Kids these days, always wanting somethin’ fancy.
So, what are these horror movie steelbooks anyway? Well, near as I can tell, they’re just special boxes for your DVDs or Blu-rays. Instead of that flimsy plastic, you get a nice, sturdy metal case. And they got pictures on ’em, real purdy pictures, sometimes scary ones, depends on the movie, I reckon. They got all sorts of movies, too, not just horror, but we’re talkin’ about the scary ones today.
My grandson, he’s got a whole mess of ’em. He keeps ’em all lined up, neat as a pin. He’s got that Saw one, the one with the foot, real gruesome, if you ask me. Then there’s that Blair Witch one, all shaky and blurry, makes you dizzy just lookin’ at it. And of course, he’s gotta have that Halloween one, with that fella in the mask. Scariest thing I ever did see, that Michael Myers fella. He’s also got some weird ones like Leprechaun, not sure what that’s about, some little green fella causing trouble, I guess.
Now, why folks want these steelbooks is beyond me. They cost more, that’s for sure. My grandson, he’s always complainin’ ’bout how much they cost. But he keeps buyin’ ’em, so they must be somethin’ special, I guess. He says it’s all about collecting them, like stamps or somethin’. Says they might be worth somethin’ someday. Hmph, sounds like a fool’s errand to me, but what do I know?
- They got that Saw steelbook, real bloody, not for the faint of heart.
- That Blair Witch one, looks like it was filmed with a potato, all shaky and what not.
- Then there’s the classic, Halloween, that Michael Myers fella gives me the shivers just thinkin’ about him.
- And don’t forget about that Leprechaun steelbook, a bit silly, but some folks like it.
I heard tell they got all kinds of horror movies on steelbook, not just them famous ones. You got your zombie movies, your vampire movies, your ghost movies, all sorts. Seems like if it’s scary, they made a steelbook for it. They even got limited edition ones, real special ones that cost a pretty penny. My grandson, he’s always on the lookout for them limited editions. Says they’re the best ones to get, the ones that’ll be worth the most money someday. I tell him he’s wastin’ his money, but he don’t listen. Kids these days, they think they know everything.
But I gotta say, some of them steelbooks are kinda pretty. They got shiny bits, and embossed letters, and all sorts of fancy stuff. They’re definitely nicer lookin’ than them plain old plastic cases. And they feel good in your hand, too. Solid, like they’re built to last. Maybe that’s why folks like ’em. They want somethin’ that’ll last, somethin’ that’ll stand the test of time. Or maybe they just like shiny things, I don’t know.
So, if you’re into horror movies, and you like fancy things, then maybe steelbooks are for you. Just be prepared to shell out some extra cash. They ain’t cheap, that’s for sure. But if you’re lookin’ to build a collection, somethin’ to show off to your friends, then I guess they’re worth it. Me? I’ll stick with my old VHS tapes, thank you very much. At least I know how to work them.
And another thing, they got these Halloween-themed steelbooks, too. Perfect for all you folks who like to get spooked during that time of year. They got all the classics, plus some new ones, all decked out in pumpkins and ghosts and whatnot. My grandson, he goes nuts for them Halloween steelbooks. He starts watchin’ scary movies in September, says he needs to get in the spirit. I tell him he’s gonna give himself nightmares, but he don’t care. He loves that scary stuff.
So, there you have it. That’s all I know about horror movie steelbooks. They’re fancy, they’re expensive, and they’re for folks who like scary movies and shiny things. If that sounds like you, then go ahead and get yourself some. But don’t come cryin’ to me when you’re broke, you hear? I warned ya.
Where to find these horror movie steelbooks? Well, I reckon you can find ‘em online, that’s where my grandson gets most of his. Or maybe in them big stores, the ones that sell movies and games and such. Just gotta look around, I guess. And be careful, don’t get ripped off. Some folks try to charge an arm and a leg for them special editions. Just use your common sense, that’s what I always say.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go make some supper. All this talk about scary movies has made me hungry. And I’ll be sure to stay away from any creepy crawlies tonight, just in case that Michael Myers fella decides to show up. You never know these days.
