 Great series, cool packaging, worth it! August 28, 2008
S. Morong (Arizona)
Regardless of previous gripes of packaging, the skull is pretty dam cool. Its a sturdy hard plastic, and as long as the discs are seated properly in the grooves, they are fine. This is probably the only DVD box set I would display, the skull also has some nice details and paint. I don't get some of the nick picky reviews on here anyway, people just find and look for things to complain about.
Anyway, this is the long awaited boxed set of the second season of Showtime's phenomenal horror series. Done in the style of Tales from the crypt, but with much better stories and less cheese. Some of the stories were downright gory and some had great horror style twists. A must own for any horror fan.
 Masters of Rip-Off... Terrible Packaging! July 25, 2008

I hardly ever write reviews, but I am writing in hopes that someone in power at Anchor Bay might read this. I have bought many, many Anchor Bay/Starz products over the years and have always been a big fan. But with Masters of Horror Season 2, a nearly $70 box set on Amazon, I feel completely ripped off.
Ok, unlike the other reviewers I have no asthetic gripes with this packaging. I always take the DVDs out of wierd packaging and put them in something that fits the shelf anyway. However, I received this set yesterday, and it just made me sad. The DVDs are floating around completely unprotected inside the "skull" which means every single one of them is scratched. A few of them are badly scratched all over, while ALL of them have circular scratches (typically the worst kind of scratches) around the the entire outer half-inch or so of the disc. Additionally, instead of including all of the individual episode discs like the last box set, some of the discs are double sided with an episode on each side! Why? So the manufacturer could cut some more corners on an already horribly put together set?
I foolishly assumed that, as with the season one set, this box would contain someting extra that was not available in the individual episode DVDs. It does not. So, if you have the individual episode DVDs, I would recommend sticking with those. However, if you don't mind spending way too much money for a pile of pre-scratched, dual-sided DVDs then this box set is the way to go. Not only do you not get anything extra, you get something far, far less for your money this time around. Shame on you Anchor Bay. I hope everyone returns these as I plan to do.
Brilliant Packaging July 24, 2008

I told my wife that she was getting this for her birthday and she went absolutely over the moon. She's already made space for it on the shelf -- next to her Hellraiser puzzle box DVD set and the other Masters of Horror set in the crypt. It will look great next to the Blade Runner briefcase set and the other fun and unique DVD releases that we've managed to collect and enjoy.
Packaging can be ho-hum and boring, or it can be half the fun of the DVD release. This falls into the latter category. Great work, Anchor Bay!
Silly Skull? July 21, 2008

I think it's rather stupid for anyone to be complaining about the Skull packaging. It's a horror themed set, is it really that shocking or better yet embarrasing? Honestly, if it is that bothersome to people I'd suggest they go out and attempt to buy a sense of humor instead.
 Excellent Packaging!!! July 21, 2008

I'm a 49 yr old mature 'adult' and, as a collector, I find the packaging chosen by Anchor Bay befitting the subject matter. For those that prefer the mundane cardboard box packaging, well...your loss. I've just pre-ordered the set and have reserved a special place for the skull in the Horror genre section of my collection. Thank you Anchor Bay ;).
