What A BARGAIN! 50 Classics & Schlock For A Pittance!!!,
By Sheila Chilcote-Collins "Sheila Renee Chilcot... (Collinswood, Van Wert, OH USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Horror Classics Collection: 50 Movie Pack (12DVD) (DVD)
I purchased this 50 DVD box set this past autumn (for Halloween) and have viewed all of the films. There are some GREAT CLASSICS mixed with fabulous SCHLOCK for a price that can't be beat!Different horror genres including: Crusty, Creepy Creatures Majorly Maddening Madmen Cult Classics AND MUCH, MUCH MORE! I highly recommend this very cool and inexpensive box set for anyone who likes classic horror, cheesy schlock, Bela Lugosi or stylings of the great Ed Wood! Happy Watching!

Bet You Can't Stop At Just One!,
By Greg "neurosky" (Canada) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Horror Classics Collection: 50 Movie Pack (12DVD) (DVD)
50 CLASSIC B&W horror films for 20 bucks! This is why I'm giving it five stars (the value!) If it was priced at 100 dollars I would rate it lower because: A. It is a cheap box set (although it comes with a nice booklet guide.) B. The quality of the film transfers varies greatly. C. They are all FULL SCREEN. I don't know why I assumed they'd be widescreen, but they're not. I've been waiting many years to watch Nosferatu, and although I am glad to finally see it I can't read all of the text because some of it is off-screen. So, I will have to find a widescreen version to fully view this wonderful film. But again, for the price it's still a great bargain.Notable entries include Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde (starring John Barrymore), The Phantom of the Opera, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Nosferatu, The Little Shop of Horrors, The Gorilla, The Bat, White Zombie and Metropolis. There are various lesser-known treasures here, such as the first film in the set: Carnival of Souls (as much an art film and psychological thriller as it is a horror film.) I was surprised by the scope of this film; very similar to Stephen King's heavy style of storytelling. I've really been enjoying my evenings spent watching brilliant horror film actors such as Bela Lugosi, Boris Karloff, Lon Chaney, George Zucco, Vincent Price and Jack Nicholson. Highly recommended box set for lovers of horror or classic film performances!

A Mixed Bag (No Surprise),
By
This review is from: Horror Classics Collection: 50 Movie Pack (12DVD) (DVD)
First off, I have not seen all 50 movies, only about 28 so far. But I have some opinions on this package already. The movies come on 12 double-sided DVDs with the contents clearly marked on the inner ring of each disc. Each DVD comes in a cardboard sleeve with the movie's description printed on it. The menus are basic, scene selection is awkward but if you just want to watch the whole movie, it works fine. The quality of the picture and sound vary considerably. Some of the movies are a bit blurry with muddy sound and some missing frames, but all were watchable to me. Some of the movies are outstandingly clear both in picture and sound, such as 'Beast of Yucca Flats' (which may be the worst movie I have ever seen).The silent movies have a musical soundtrack, but it doesn't really go with the action. "Doctor Jekyll & Mr. Hyde', for instance, sounds like someone put a Bach organ recital CD on and just let it play. I don't understand why 'Metropolis' was included in a horror package, but it's a good movie. I know I sound as if I didn't like this set, but I have found it very entertaining and there is more variety to the selections than I expected. There are some real standouts, such as 'Carnival of Souls' that make this set worthwhile if you are of a mind to enjoy old movies. I rated it three stars because the quality of the transfers could be improved on quite a bit; but really if you factor in the price, it is an enormous bargain. I plan to get several of the other 50 movie sets.
