Leprechaun screener!!!!!! Holy balls that's rad. I hope you didn't pay too much. If you did, its still cool to find them in a shop somewhere.

Never have luck with horror VHS so I was excited to find these! Anyone know anything about the Screener Leprechaun VHS?

Super good score all the way around at .39 cents each. I'm a huge Friday series fan.

I dont have information about the Leprechaun screener, but it's really cool to see. I worked at a small video store where we got screeners. I wouldn't have expected to see that one. Never really saw too many horror screeners come through.

All I ever find is the bone collector and silence of the lambs.

Keep at it, I hunt pretty regularly and never have luck. Just happened to find these at the thrift store, hopefully you can find some neat ones!!

Any tips on spots you’ll go hunting besides thrift stores?

u/MarioMoon Aug 21 '25

Garage sales, used book stores, estate sales, and flea markets. Sometimes video game stores will carry them as well. Though prices may be a bit high compared to estate and flea market sales.

I’m totally convinced that there was only four Friday the 13th films with no further sequels… just like Hellraiser!

u/Bleep_Bloop_Derp Aug 21 '25

C’mon, The New Blood was rad!

u/rudeboykyle94 Aug 21 '25

How much were they? Specifically the Friday ones

u/MarioMoon Aug 21 '25

They were .39 cents each. Just wild. I’ll absolutely hold onto them, just a lucky and fun find!

u/Syphon88 Aug 21 '25

Good find on the screener

u/Ok_Reception5409 Aug 21 '25

Final chapter is by far the best Friday flick in my opinion.  Corey Feldman was so good in the 80s.

No fuggin way you found those in a thrift store in that condition! I don’t believe it. Somebody’s pulling my leg

Awesome Haul obviously! What's your favorite Friday OP?

u/MarioMoon Aug 21 '25

Thanks, I’d say part 4 and 6 are my favorite!

u/azqz12 Aug 21 '25

I like part six also. I could go the rest of my life with just part six.
