Rating:  - Great except for a few quirks
I bought this collection recently and I am very happy with the selection. However, there are some oddities that subtract from the overall experience. My DVD player skips and freezes through the warnings and other introductions before it gets to the Menu. It makes loud noises and sounds as though it is breaking, which doesn't happen when I watch DVDs that weren't part of this pack. Another strange thing is that the DVDs are double sided but the movies on Side A are actually on side B and vice versa. I'm not sure if I just got some bum DVDs or if these flukes occur in all batches. Neither of the flaws are too terrible, and the movies are still quite watchable. I would just caution that there are some problems.
Rating: - lots of good older movies some unheard of
if you like horrer of old this is a great product not for todays kids no gore
Rating:  - Classic Horror ?
There are a couple of good old classic flicks in this package but most are too painful to watch. Obviously most of these were made by first time wannabe film producers / directors who spent their entire week's allowance making these pics. I am a huge fan of corny 50's-60's horror / suspense films so on second thought maybe you could classify this package as true horror. Classic... I don't think so. Sorry...
Rating: - So far so good.
I have to say that I am a little disappointed with some of the reviews on here. Describing these movies as barely watchable. I just recieved this set in the mail today and have watched The house on haunted hill and the invisible body. The house on haunted hill was incredible quality wise. The sound and video were amazing. The movie itself is a very good movie as well. The invisible body is a corny movie but that is ok it is still good. There are some marks on the sides of the movie every once in a while but nothing that makes it unwatchable. I guess that when I watch old movies like these the one thing i keep in mind is that some of the are over 50 years old. Try preserving a movie for that long given the technology they had then and have it stand up against the movies of today. I will edit my review as I continue watching the movies and I may need to adjust things but right now i am very happy with the product. This was well worth the price. I would have paid this much for house on haunted hill alone. If the rest of the movies are of the same video and audio quality then this will be the best dea[ l I have found.
Rating:  - 30 cents per movie!
This is by far the best money I've spent in a LONG time. You have to remember one thing about these movies though - Back in the 20s, horror had a different taste. Good old Frankenstein didn't show up on the screen until 1931! Everyone knows Frankenstein, Dracula, Mummy, etc... I'm personally glad they they didn't include films of those types in this collection. How many people know of The Killer Shrews? This is a fine collection for for what I paid. Five stars all the way!
