Spring Cleaning Sale!

springcleaningheader

Every week at The Videodrome, we get 50 to 100 DVDs and Blu-Rays to add to our collection. And while most of those movies go on to lead happy and productive lives in our rental section, a few are destined to become "over stock", occasionally to be sold at special request, or often left to collect dust in our mysterious "back room".

Well Summer is here (wait, where was Spring?) and our back room is starting to feel a little cluttered. So we're shining a little light on our overstock, and allowing you to adopt some of these friendly little movies, at low low prices! There's a little something for everyone in there, so put on your browsing cap, clear your schedule, and come on down!
+ Our regular previously viewed films will be on sale as well - that includes award winning New Releases like Argo, Lincoln, Life of Pi, etc.
+ Our clearance been will be filled to the brim with well-loved DVDs for just $2.00!

Sale begins Friday May 10th, and continues throughout the weekend!
