 Prepare to be blown away November 18, 2008
Terry Salomonson in Michigan (Real Name) (Michigan)
Ten classic science fiction flicks from Universal proves you can run, but you can't hide. A giant tarantula, the monolith monsters, a monster on the campus, a giant praying mantis, a leech woman and a mad scientist meat half of these films.
Transfer quality is great. Trailers for these movies are included. That's it. No commentary, no documentaries, no rare features. Still, the picture quality and the price is worth it.
Small trivia to look out for. The script for "The Land Unknown" was scripted by radio script writer William N. Robson trying his hand at a screenplay. "The Incredible Shrinking Man" was scripted by Richard Matheson, from his novel of the same name -- the same man responsible for "The Omega Man / The Last Man on Earth." The airforce pilot who saves the day in "Tarantula" remains hidden in the suit and helmet but take my word for it -- that's Clint Eastwood! The Universal Studios backlot was featured prominently in "The Monolith Monsters" so look out for that Back to the Future clock!
This set is a lot of fun, so be prepared!

Pour le tarif demandé, c'est véritablement un plaisir de retrouver tous ces vieux films, délicieusement inoffensifs, qui sont aussi un voyage dans l'Amérique des années 50.
The Monomith Monster est tout à fait étonnant, un film dont les effets spéciaux restent saisissants.
L'image et le son sont irréprochable, comme souvent s'agissant des DVD de la Universal.
Pour les amateurs de sci-fi US des années 50, c'est le coffret à avoir.

This collection of classics, Vol. 1 and 2 should be part of every sci-fi lover's film shelf. I haven't seen some of these films for years, and welcome them home like long-lost relatives: "The Leech Woman" with Collen Gray, "Cult of the Cobra" with Richard Long and Marshall Thompson, and "Deadly Mantis" with William Hopper. For sci-fi fans, this collection is a winner!

To put it short; this box is one of the best DVD collections of classic old B/W horror movies I have come across. Nice packaging, great quality and of course timeless movies. This is a must.

As a "BOOMER" I grew up watching some of these flicks on Saturday matinees.
This compilation of 50's Sci-Fi flicks is perfect for couch-potato stuff when the weather gets bad. Pop some corn,pour a big glass of soda and chill out. The simple pleasures are the best. My favorites of this collection are "The Mole People","Incredible Shrinking Man","Monster on Campus", "Deadly Mantis", & "Tarantula" Others are good but "creature features" are my favorite
