Discussing the pitfalls of physical media collecting and why I have moved from being a collector and/or hoarder and moved towards creating a curated movie library.

I view hoarding as buying for the sake of buying and trying to amass as large of a library as you possibly can without any regard for whether you enjoy what you're buying. I view collecting as going in with a completionist mindset and trying to have complete collections of every movie in a series or every release from a label without any consideration for whether you want to revisit each of those movies. I think of curation as creating a library of movies that you love and that you want to rewatch and enjoy the highest quality available to you.

I should note that I am not trying to tell you how to spend your money or how you should enjoy physical media, I am just sharing my journey with it and maybe it will resonate with you or maybe you'll think it is stupid. The one piece of advice I would offer is that I don't think you should go into debt to buy a movie.

We're discussing All Hallows Eve (2013), the theatrical film debut of Art the Clown who would go on to be the star of the Terrifier series. Yes Art was in short films from Damien Leone: The 9th Circle (2008) and Terrifier (2011) (both of which are included in this anthology), but this is the first time he was in a theatrical release.

This is the innagural episode of I Watch Movies (2024) where I will discuss movies that I watch, my rankings of movies in genres, favorite movies from directors, collection physical media and everything in between. I just love movies and don't want to annoy all my friends, so I'll annoy you instead.
