VHS rentals

This may seem like an odd question, but does anyone know of any local video rental places?

What I am looking for is one with an old/fantastic horror section. I am aware of Hollywood Express, but their collection is small and their rental fees are a little high for VHS. I used to go to Palmer Video on Broadway but it shutdown a few months ago. They had the most extensive horror section to date. I don't like going by Netflix because it just isn't the same. I'm willing to travel several towns away if anyone knows of a place or has suggestions. I'm interested in late 70's/80's/early 90's, not the new stuff. Thanks!!

And um, while it doesn't address the "small collection" issue, did you know that Hollywood Express does 2 for 1 on just about every weeknight? I think New Releases are excluded on Thursdays, but since you're looking for older stuff that should mean you'd still be able to get a couple of tapes for enough days to see you through a weekend. And they'll transfer stuff from their other locations if you ask.

Also, I don't know what the collection is like at the Davis Square location of Hollywood Express (which is what I assume you're talking about), but I've always thought the Porter Square location had a fairly *large* collection. Granted, I'm not much of a Horror watcher, but the Porter one is the video store I usually go to when I can't find things elsewhere.
