Love the retro vibe here. They have everything you could think of. They have movies(dvd,vhs,and blu Ray), cds, records, tapes, action figures, a variety of random retro collectables, patches, posters, buttons,etc. You can't go wrong here. They have something for everybody. The clerk running the register was so friendly. We got a free re-animated records tote bag for spending more than $100. We will definitely be back.

Great record store, I'm not a record collector and only really go to scan the movie selection. If you're a horror movie fan, this spot is for you. Honestly one of the best record stores in San Diego

Great stuff! I've always been super picky about my own interests, and haven't ever had a place I could name off the top of my head that I felt was a great outlet for what I like. Normally when I go into vinyl/video stores, I'm not expecting much and ESPECIALLY when it comes to horror. Feeling like it's a severely neglected genre, I was totally blown away by this place.The modern, recent stuff was kept to a comfortable minimum. LOTS of really awesome low budget horror, ghost movies, splatter films, gore in general, etc and the selection is far from underwhelming! The prices are pretty great. Splatter film rec's and browsability has always been left to the grapevine, so having a place that's got tons of it was really touching. Quickly became one of my favorite spots!! I picked up a bunch of crystal case Saw movies I'd been meaning to replace, and decided to take a leap & grab Splatter (2022). I ended up loving it & getting invested in the writers other films, & can't wait to go back to pick up some other titles!The actual store is super homey. I caught myself in the 'dad watching tv' stance when I noticed they had stuff playing on a couple of old VCR tv's. Everythings just kind of Around, but EXTREMELY well organized. Finding band shirts from a bunch of guys I've never heard of was a first and I loved it. The music going on there is always fantastic. First time I've ever discovered stuff I like from an overhead speaker in a store lol. Their taste is insanely good & I can't recommend it enough to people who like splatter, general horror, noise & metal music, etc. You won't be disappointed. ?

Absolute gold mine. This little shop is something special and deserves it's spot in downtown La Mesa. It's such a small store but it's always a fun time cruising by and seeing what movies or records they have. They've got tons of everything and a price that doesn't hurt. Posters, toys, cassettes, records, and movies, they have got it all. If you're a horror fan this is the spot for you. Movie collector? This is the place for you. The staff are legendary with their friendliness and how helpful they are. They consist of all the chill dudes that sat in the back of your class in high school who you weren't tight with but knew were a good time. This place is something special and I can't wait for my next visit. Come by and support your local business

A totally rad place! Decent prices, great selection, really nicely organized and Nick the owner is super! I wandered in during Oktoberfest and was totally surprised to see some original paintings up on the wall - a local artist has painted awesome portraits of monsters like Frankenstein & the werewolf. Do yourself a favor and head over there to see what a treasure trove it is--it's a little local hidden gem.

Cool spot. A little pricey on the vinyl. But it's La Mesa. So I'm sure rent is not cheap. O try to buy from them when it's something I want , rather than go online

Best VHS shopping experience in San Diego by far. Curated and clean collection, which means no sifting through Disney Diamond collections or wiping decades of dust of the covers. A lot of music and horror related content. Fair pricing!Of course their vinyl selection is amazing and I love all the corners of the store. Every corner is like it’s own curated shop. One second you’re looking at a quirky boutique, the next a toy collectors dream, the next you’re at a spooky bookshelf. It’s a dream!My family and friends all love going here. There’s something for everyone :)
