The set comes in a tin case. Pressing the red button at the top of the case plays a short clip of horror music, screaming, and other sorts of horror effects. It's a nice little novelty feature. When it comes to extras, again, a lot of DVD compilations don't give you much. However, this set includes shots of movie posts, numerous trailers (which are fun to watch, especially when it comes to the tacky sci-fi titles), short bios on the actors, and trivia games. The makers actually put some degree of effort into this. The movies include the classics "Night of the Living Dead" and the original silent "Nosferatu" (based directly off Bram Stoker's "Dracula"). There are also two Vincent Price films: "House on Haunted Hill" and "The Last Man on Earth". Price was simply a brilliant actor, and even if these two aren't ranked among his best, they're still good horror films. As is "Horror Hotel" with good ol' Christopher Lee. So at least half of what you find on this collection is certainly NOT obscure camp starring nobodys. This was my first chance to finally see the silent film "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari", which I'd never been able to find in the stores. I had a scrambly second-hand VHS copy of "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde", which works great as a silent film, and was happy to see it in its full clarity on DVD. The Films "Dementia 13", "Nightmare Castle", and Boris Karloff's "The Terror". But even if these were left out completely, I'd be happy with the set, especially at the price I paid for them. A great set to own..... {Mrs Puman} UPDATE: I have read in other reviews that people are having trouble axcessing these movies I to had problems and it works like this.. 1. Bring up the two movies if you don't want to watch the first movie useing your UP and DOWN and LEFT to RIGHT Keys.. 2. For the secound movie I had to use the DOWN Key to watch the 2nd film . 3. So just play with those 4 keys all movies can be watched...Read full review
The tin case was the main reason I bought this item. Very nice embossed skeleton on the front. And the tin case is very sturdy. And the eeery sounds effects is great when you press the red button. The DVD packaging is very good too inside the tin case. Folds out to display five DVDs. And on the back of the DVD fold out. Is descriptions of the movies.
