Being a horror fan is hard work sometimes.\u0026nbsp; The older I get, the harder it becomes.\u0026nbsp; We horror fans have voracious appetites, and every movie we add to our \"watched\" lists makes it that much harder to find the next one.\u0026nbsp; The pool dwindles.\u0026nbsp; We end up exploring oddly specific subgenres out of desperation, feeling all the while that there truly is nothing new under the sun.\u0026nbsp; The law of diminishing returns kicks in - previously unwatched content isn't necessarily good content.\u0026nbsp; In fact, if a movie is any good it's almost a lock that we've already seen it.\u0026nbsp; We live for the occasional unheralded gem, the odd little surprise that somehow previously escaped notice.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; When we unearth one of these buried treasures, we're obliged to share with others in our community, other horror junkies jonesing for their next fix.\u0026nbsp; I'm pretty sure that's how cult movies are born.\u0026nbsp; I submit for your consideration the late Paul Bartel's feature directorial debut, \u003Cspan style=\"color: #b45f06;\"\u003E\u003Cb\u003EPrivate Parts \u003C\/b\u003E(1972)\u003C\/span\u003E.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; I became a big fan of the Big Lots DVD dump bins a few years ago while enduring some nasty medical problems that left me perpetually broke and frequently homebound.\u0026nbsp; I'd previously been one of those guys who regularly burned through piles of money on new DVD releases, and I simply didn't have the finances to keep doing that.\u0026nbsp; Movies from the dump bins were only three dollars a pop, and they satisfied my compulsion to buy new DVDs without breaking the bank. Admittedly, though, my excavations frequently yielded pretty sorry results.\u0026nbsp; They also often encouraged me to sample titles I might've otherwise passed by, perfectly worthwhile titles that had found their way to the dump bins simply because their availability outstripped consumer demand.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003E\n\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Ctable cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"tr-caption-container\" style=\"float: right;
