Some of the 50 are awesome, some silent (which actually was more ok than I thought they would be, some aren’t horror at all, and some are just plain terrible. But hey you’re getting 50 movies for a great price! So all in all it was well worth the money, and some Ill be watching over and over again.

There are some really good movies in this collection (4), and also some really bad ones. Overall if you're stuck inside in a snow storm, it will keep you occupied for a while. Worse comes to worse, look at it as a coaster collection!

I am very impressed with the collection of DVDs. As a fan of classic and hard-to-find horror films, this collection is a treat. Including "Night of the Living Dead" and "Nosfuratu" shows the collaborators knew what they were doing and it was also a treat to see such staple films such as "Metropolis" "Dementia 13" and Chaney's "Phantom of the Opera" all the while including campy films like "Little Shop of Horrors" "The Killer Shrews". The only setback is not including the landmark films "Frankenstein" and "The Wolf Man." But nevertheless you added the hidden gems that make us horror fanatics smile. We run to our books to read what historians had said, intriguing us to discover a new film or remind us of some we had seen deep in our past. This collection is highly recommended.Read full review
Wow! I never knew there were this many B-horror/mystery that I had never seen before. Why were they showing all that late night garbage on tv when I was a kid when things like this were out there? Or were they not available then? The silent Dr. Jekyl and Mr.Hyde with John Barrymore is the best version I have ever seen. There are a couple of pre-code movies in this pack that have some quick glimpses of nudity, "Metropolis" and "Maniac". There is one comedy/mystery with the Ritz brothers. Several of Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff's lesser films that are still very enjoyable. Two Vincent Price movies that are both very good. A couple with Lionel Atwood, some Fay Wray and some J. Carrol Naish. I prefer the pre-50's films but that just may be me. Then there are some George Zucco films and Turhan Bey. Of course there is Lon Chaney in "Phantom of the Opera" and Lon Chaney Jr. in some of his lesser films. It has one Japanese movie similar to Godzilla but not as good. The silent "Hunchback of Notre Dame" is very good. Most of these films I found very enjoyable. I think you probably have the idea by now. This is a mad scientist, vampire, monster, ghost, reporter/detective mystery type set and if it is your sort of thing, buy it, you're sure to like some of it.Read full review
I like thesee kind of old shows, some are good, others not to good, but it is fun to look in the past at the specials effects they had at the time, the costumes, hair style...stuff like that. It seems like all the girls were like today, skinny as a rail. I like Bela legosi, Boris Karloff, they were big stars in there time. We can't just forget them, they set the stage for the horror movies we have today. They did the best with what they had at the time, it just shows that even back 70-80 years ago, there were spooks in the imagination to be made brought to life on the big screen. They may seem tame to todays standards, but I still enjoy them, with a limited small budget, these movies were made. I am glad I got the set.
I love all of these old movies, many of which I watched years ago. Very happy with the variety of movies. The only problem is that the sound is poor on a few of them - but most are good.

I purchased this 50 DVD box set last 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 Descend to the depths of the deep, dark ocean and encounter the "Phantom From 10,000 Leagues" and "Creature From The Haunted Sea". Check out the cheesy and quite primitive special effects in "The Giant Gila Monster". Rediscover terror of dogs dressed up in fur playing "The Killer Shrews". Hold your breath to see which hick from the backwoods will actually survive "The Attack of the Giant Leeches"! Also the great "The Hunchback Of Notre Dame" with the fabulous Lon Chaney, Jr., "The Gorilla", "Swamp Women", "Atom Age Vampire", "Beast Of yucca Flats", "Black Dragons", "Invisible Ghost", "The Vampire Bat" with Fay Wray, "White Zombie" with Bela Lugosi and "The Bat" With Vincent Price! Majorly Maddening Madmen Descend into insanity and weird funereal rites in Francis Ford Coppola's first full-length feature "Dementia 13". Be astounded at the scientific perversity of Jason Evers as he keeps the severed head of his fianc e alive in "The Brain that Wouldn't Die". Also includes, "Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde", "The Monster Maker", "Maniac", "The Amazing Mr. X", "The Tormented", and "Bluebeard". Cult Classics Watch when Audrey II cries "feeeed me" in "Little Shop of Horrors". Fear for the fate of humanity as flesh-eating zombies roam the earth in Romero's "Night of the Living Dead". Find out what it's like to be "The Last Man on Earth" with Vincent Price and "The Last Woman On Earth" with Robert Towne. Go to the "Carnival Of Souls" with Candace Hilligoss, even! Silent Horror Classics Watch the amazing Lon Chaney in "Phantom of the Opera", slinking through the cellars of the Paris Opera House. Marvel at the chilling Max Schreck in "Nosferatu", giving a truly mesmerizing performance and the classic and futuristic, "Metropolis". 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!Read full review
Sleeves are labeled "side A, side B," but no other identification as to content, but what the heck, a marking pen fixes that! Movies viewed so far are good reproductions within the technology used. Black and white movies are an art form in itself, so you get what you should expect. A fun purchase!
I love this movie pack collection. If you love the old horror movies, this is it! I recommend, adding it to your horror film collection.
