 Great Budget Horror Box Set. January 9, 2009
Patrick J. Faeser
Everyone who likes old Horror Movies and cheesy forties and fifties stuff will probably dig this. It's not perfect, especially technically, but who cares? It's fun!
Perfect For Film Buffs! November 22, 2008
RC (New York, New York United States)
I purchased this b/c of a lack of good horror films on tv. In the old days ca 1970s, you used to have really cool shows like Chiller Theater and Creature Features and One Step Beyond. Unfortunately, most tv is terrible with either too much gore and porn or just plain bad. Here you can get 50 of some of the real rare classics. Sure a few of of films are poor quality, but these are real gems. One of my personal fav's in this collection is Carnival of Souls! Including many others featuring Bela Lugosi, Boris Karloff and much more. Makes the perfect gift for the holidays. Enjoy~!
FUN, GREAT VALUE November 19, 2008

I bought this mainly for Nosferatu, phnatom of the opera,dr. jeckyl & mr hyde and metropolis (which i don't know why they included since it is not really a horror movie). Thes rest of the films are very fun to watch and the price you are paying for them is amazing. nosferatu or metropolis alone can cost more on their own.
The only problem I had was with nosferatu which for some reason skips before the end of the film and gets stuck there. which is why I gave it 4 stars.
otherwise great buy for horror enthusiasts.
Instant Classic November 16, 2008
Coyote Luver (Michigan)
I bought this box set for my mother-in-law because she loves old horror movies. She was so happy when she opened it and read all the names of the movies on the back of the box. She said a lot of the movies she hasn't seen since her childhood and had been looking for them. I am going to purchase some of the other box sets for her for the upcoming holiday because she really enjoyed it. I would recommend this to anyone, I mean for the price look how many movies you get!!!
 Some good films, terrible quality. October 29, 2008
The Nomadic Poet
Though most of the movies I hadn't heard of, there were a good number that I was very excited to see("Metropolis," "Nosferatu," "The Hunchback of Notre Dame," "The Phantom of the Opera"). Some of these I hadn't yet seen, and others I had only watched on crappy YouTube uploads. So you can imagine my joy when I saw this collection at my friend's apartment, and immediately borrowed two or three of the discs.
While there are some brilliant films here (anything with Lon Chaney Sr. is bound to be good), the quality is horribly disappointing. I realize that, for the price, I couldn't expect top-quality versions, but these are among the worst I've seen. They go beyond your typical old-movie grainy--in some of them, I'm surprised the film didn't fall apart midway through the showing!
I would recommend this set if you already like old movies, but need an introduction to a few of the great classic "horror" films ("Metropolis" I hardly consider horror, and "Phantom" and "Hunchback" could only be considered so because of the painful horror of humanity Chaney portrays) and you either have very little money (ah, college and a failing economy), or simply don't want to spend much on old films. Otherwise, I would look elsewhere. The four movies I mentioned are certainly worth looking into, if you can find better copies of them. The beauty of the architecture and the chilling visage of the robot in Metropolis, the terror of Orlok's hunting in Nosferatu, and Chaney's brilliant acting and makeup that give us a glimpse into the darkest regions of ourselves in Phantom and Hunchback--all these things deserve to be seen in as much clarity as possible, not scratched and faded to the point where they lose some of their power.
