Description: We've just opened a specialized Cult Video Store in Montreal. We probably have the largest selection of anime (French and English or English sub.) in the west of Montreal. Also, we carry a large selection of original Japanese posters of any kind of movies but we also have a fair selection in the anime field (including the Miyazaki stuff, all the Lupin III and more...) We even received the poster for the new live-action version of Perfect Blue. We have a good selection of original Japanese soundtracks (no Chinese bootlegs) and even some anime action figures imported from Japan (Spirited Away, Lupin III, Astro, Lady Oscar, Albator, Jin-Roh, Calimero...) As a plus we have more than 1000 horror films and over 450 Asian movies. We carry about 4000-4500 titles for rent; 1000 are on DVD.

We do shipping... you can ask questions or order via internet at info@sukubus.com. We have new releases every week or two in every field (horror/SF/anime/Hong Kong). For Christmas we are going to carry about 50 - 100 DVD titles exclusive to SUKUBUS... rare imports.

Membership for rentals is $10 + tax (it includes 2 rentals). All the rentals are for 3 days at our store, they cost $4 + tax.

Just to mention that after Christmas we probably are going to be the number 1 in Montreal for the selection of Asian films. We already have the largest selection of Horror and Sci-Fi in Quebec! (MS - November 4, 2002)
