Found a VHS copy of 'Plan 9 from Outer Space' at a yard sale in Portland

I was looking through boxes at a yard sale last weekend and saw that old movie on tape. It made me think about how we used to find these bad movies by chance, not just search for them online. The tape was $2 and had that faded plastic case from the 90s. Now everything is streaming and you can watch anything in seconds, but it feels less special. I miss the surprise of finding a truly awful movie you've only heard about. What's the last bad movie you found by accident?

That hunt was half the fun, honestly.

I mean, it was more like 90% of the fun for me. The actual thing was kind of a letdown.

Ever read that article about how the chase is better than the catch, hannah320? Felt that way about finding a rare vinyl for months.
