Summary: great thrillers
Comment: This is a great collection of all the horror classics. It is fun to watch all the oldies but goodies!!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Good for the price
Comment: If you are looking for deluxe editions of the movies, go look elsewhere. The quality of the transfers are highly varied and as for any extras, the discs hardly contain a chapter selection! And even though the box are titled "Horror Classics", it isn't all the titles that is horror, which shows the folks cared more about filling it up than what they used as filler. But if you just like to check out the movies (and this box contains noteworthy items such as WHITE ZOMBIE, LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS, THE BRAIN THAT WOULDN'T DIE, ATTACK OF THE GIANT LEECHES, THE VAMPIRE BAT, THE HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL, MANIAC and more) this is a brilliant concept. It's about 0,26 per movie, so you can make a decent deal. Other boxes following same concept with different genres exist and are worth picking up for same reasons.

Summary: Cheap in many ways
Comment: You get what you pay for with this set. The price here on Amazon is terrific, and you do get many gems in this collection. It is also an awesome way of building up your collection cheaply. I did however take out my copies of Last Man on Earth and the Night of the Living Dead to compare with the ones presented on this set. After a side by side viewing, there is no way I will be getting rid of my copies. The versions presented on this set are dark, filled with pops and crackles, and the print is terrible. That is not to say all the films are that way, many are actually quite good copies. The film grade is as mixed as the movies themselves, you have some really stinkers and some sparkling jewels. Overall for the price, it is well worth the purchase to get so many movies.

Summary: Hours of chilling tales
Comment: I bought this set for my husband's birthday and we have both been enjoying these classic horror movies, watching one or two a day (most run between 65-90 minutes, "Metropolis" is the longest at 119) for the past month. I am kind of sad it does not include "Plan 9 from Outer Space", but there are many other great classics ("Nosferatu", "Bluebeard") and not-so-greats ("White Zombie" with Bela Lugosi, "The Brain That Wouldn't Die"). Some of the special effects are laughable (the Killer "Shrews" and Attack of the Giant "Leeches") but I like the fact the movies were more about the suspense without being overly gory. "Atom Age Vampire", "Dementia 13", "The Last Man on Earth", the silent "Phantom of the Opera" and the original "Little Shop of Horrors" are favorites of mine. I agree the quality of the films is not the best, but this is a great deal to get 50 movies on 12 DVDs for less than the price of one new release.
