Why bother showing them on here when it shows as unavailable?

The stories were interesting enough. The best one was 'Bobby', which I had read about in Fangoria magazine. I wound up waiting a long time for it, only to have it not want to work at the last ten minutes of the movie. And wouldn't you know it...'Bobby' was the last short story! So I had to end up going on You Tube anyway just to see the ending of the best of the three stories! That sux since 'Bobby' was the reason I rented this in the first place!What luck I have!
