whoa 50 movies on 12 discs, that sounds cool. Go for it!

Shit quality, in terms of...?
If it's just that they're old films, I can deal with that...
If it's that they're all compressed onto a dvd, and are more like vcd quality, as long as it's as good as commercial vcd quality, I'll be ok.
The main consideration for me is that I've only seen maybe 5-6 of the films on the list...I'm not THAT into horror this oldskool, but I have to admit, there have been some fucking golden movies from that era...
So yeah, I figure that this'll be a good opportunity to expose myself to some old horror, as I've nost seen all that much pre-1970's. Yup, I think I'm gonna get it.

Dracula in Dallas would probably really love this collection too.

I read a review of this box set on Amazon.com and most people said it was low quality and that those movies should be in a suspence box set instead of a horror box set. I don't know if you've ever seen this kind of old "horror" film before but they really aren't very good. If you want it you should check out Amazon too, I think you may be able to get it cheaper on there.

quality in terms of transfer .. these films are all public domain .. it basically costs the company only what it takes to make them .. thats it. they also usually put 4 or more movies on one disc .. which isnt too bad as most of them are under 70min and black and white ..
so there are pops and bad video, etc .. but it is still well worth it .. watchable if you arent too fussy.

Just pretend you're watching the tube at 3 in the morning :)

If you ask me, this will make the old films feel more authentic...
Nah, I aint too picky, especially in terms of really old stuff.

ChEEbA 01-20-2005 06:26 PM

Thanks SR...

Yeah f13, the ad on ebay showed the other range of collections under the same brand, I didn't really look at what films they had...an old comedy one would probably be good, I might go check it out.
