I remember this movie back in the day. When I first witness it on HBO one evening and thought. Wow the creative editing on this movie was amazing and well put together. So many cult classic films from The Shinning and The Birds to The Howling and everything in between there's something for every horror fan that you can imagine. A must have in your collection.

Two hard to find old 'B' Horror movies.  Quality of last woman on earth was better than expected.  I had almost forgot about the invasion of the bee girls.  definitely worth adding to your collection.  Fast shipping by seller.  recommended.

If you're a fan of these Universal Frankenstein movies then buying this Blu Ray set is a no brainer. (even for abnormal brains). The 4k scan of these movies, especially the first three which were beautifully photographed to begin with, are crystal clear in picture and sound. A real treat for the price.

I absolutely love this set.  Though I must admit the name Sam Katzman was largely unfamiliar to me, I had previously purchased Sony's "Icons of Horror--Boris Karloff" collection, and was thrilled with that.  This set did not disappoint, as I had indeed seen all of these films many times on TV in my youth, and watching them again now has been like welcoming old friends into my home.

The most amazing thing about this set is the quality of the film transfers to DVD--pristine and magnificent, these movies have never looked so good!  As an example, I was watching "The Werewolf" last night and just could not BELIEVE the picture quality--I was floored, it literally looks brand new!  The prints of these movies shown on TV in the past have been downright murky--"Zombies of Mora Tau," in particular, always looked so foggy/hazy/grainy it was actually difficult to tell what was going on!  No longer--these prints are clear as a bell--and it's like seeing them with a new set of eyes!

Sony, PLEASE keep up the good work, these "Icons of Horror" (and now "Icons of Adventure" -- equally awesome!) collections are really among the industry standards relating to transfer quality of older low-budget films which normally would have been overlooked--very impressive.  I see that the next "Icons of Horror" will be released in October (2008), and will include Hammer films such as one of my all-time favorites, "The Gorgon."  A wonderful way to celebrate Halloween this year!

Haven't watched any yet, but the package is well done, compact so it doesn't eat up storage space.  Great price for a classic collection of movies that have always been a bit ahead of their time.  Had to have them in my movie library.  If streaming is how you watch movies this might not be money well spent, but ya can't beat blu-ray when using a projector.

Met my expectations above and beyond.  Great addition to my horror collection as one of the coolest horror films ever made.  I love the old films from the 80's and 90's and Amazon doesn't disappoint when it come to hard-to-find films of all genre.

I am a collector of classic horror figures and this figure is completely awesome. Great detail and paint work and the plague rat base and accessories are a major plus. For a 15 year old figure this is A+ craftsmanship for a decent price.

I originally purchased this to get a copy of The Gordon which, up to now, has been a hard movie to find.  Imagine my surprise when I realized that The Curse of the Mummy just happened to be one of my favorites!  I've not watched the other three movies included but - for the great price this collection is offered for, it was well worth the money!  NOt only did I get two old favorites from my childhood (Saturday morning TV movie matinees, with Super Host), but the movies are incredibly clear and look brand-new.  For any fans, of either The Gordon or the Curse of the Mummy, this is a must-have.

I bought this box set a few weeks ago to help me get in the Halloween spirit, so to speak.  I found it to be a great purchase. As per usual with the History Channel, the narration, imagery and general flow of information are all quite satisfying.
The hauntings and poltergeists discs seemed a bit dated (many of the interviewees had hilarious 80's hair & unfortunate outfits), but the other 3-- Halloween, vampires, and witches, were all fantastic.  Since I only paid $20 for five full length documentaries, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of these films.  Probably wouldn't recommend it for younger viewers due to the gore and scary factors, but if you're looking for some fascinating history lessons with a liberal dash of spookiness, you will enjoy this buy.

Both of these movies were released by columbia in 1979 and 1980 respectively. And they look fantastic! Columbia kept great prints of these two because they are not filled with lines and specks! That's saying alot for two vintage films this old! both films played at theatres accross the country and were not drive in superlow budget flicks at all. These were offerings from a major studio during that era. Many much bigger hit movies from this era don't look as good as these two do on this blu ray. Both movies did pretty well at the boxoffice and they both influenced movies that came after them, including scream and other slasher flicks. There are fine actors in these movies too , because like I said these were big studio affairs and not made by some small company.  Glenn ford , charles durning and carol kane are among the a listers in these efforts. Horror fans should be grateful that we get these two movies in such fine shape here. It could have easily been a disaster with scratched up prints. Instead we get two good horror movies from columbia studios and they just shine here.

This is the 1st volume of a "The EC Archives" - the 3-parts set of reprints of a classic 1950's horror comics - and it looks (and read) enjoyable. Please note: the stories presented here taken not only from "Tales Of The Crypt", but also from other EC horror anthologies (such as "Vault Of Horror"), and that's actually a good news for everyone who's into that pretty little scary stuff. The quality of paper and colors are high, and remember that's not a paperback edition, but a hardback. What's might especially interest horror fans is that 2 additional facts: (1) the foreword is written by John Carpenter, and (2) some of those stories you could already seen on the TV screen in an old series "Tales From The Crypt", so it can be interesting to compare original story and screen adaptation. Overall, it's a great addition to the shelf for every TFTC fan and horror junkie.

I finally got a copy of "Frankenstein meets the Wolfman/"House of Frankenstein" on DVD, (Frankenstein may have stepped on the box for good measure, but I digress) the image quality was better than expected after reading some of the other reviews and the sound was strong. A close comparison to the 1987 Laserdisc release of "Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man" shows an improved overall picture quality. While there may be an additional scratch here or there, considering that another 14 years had passed, between 1987 and 2001 when this DVD was released and that the film is now nearly 60 years old I thought it was very well preserved. I also compared "House of Frankenstein" on this DVD to the 1994 Laserdisc release and found the two prints actually very close in quality and the image again improved by the DVD format. I am amazed that people are gripping about extras for the prices these are going for considering that the laserdisc for "Frankenstein meets the Wolfman" alone was more and as "House of Frankenstein" was released on a two movie-two laserdisc set for considerably more I think the DVD is a bargain.  Also, I found the DVD menu was easy to use and I had no problem pulling up the top menu and going back and forth between the two features after one had finished. Yes, some music on the menu screens would be nice and a running commentary is always a wonderful addition, but considering this DVD package does not cost anymore than the two movies do on VHS, it's a fair price. So get busy, make some popcorn and enjoy the show.

This is probably one of Mill Creek Entertainment's best 50 packs. There are a lot of great movies in this set spanning several decades of frightful moviemaking! All of the original top horror icons are included: Both Lon Chaney's, Boris Karloff, Bela Lugosi, Vincent Price, and more! This collection is a wonderful mix of early, eerie, silent films like "Nosferatu", Metropolis", and "Phantom Of The Opera".
Frightening cult favorites like "White Zombie", "Night Of The Living Dead", and "Carnival Of Souls" are here as well. Campy films like "House on Haunted Hill", "Maniac", and "The Brain That Wouldn`t Die" are also included. These titles are all in the public domain, none of the films have been restored, and like most of Mill Creek`s offerings the video quality is generally good. This is horror`s greatest hits, highly recommended.

I don't usually review products - but I have to say for the money this is a great deal. Not only does it have some classics on it - Like "The Bloody Vampire, Atom Age Vampire, The Last Man on Earth and Count Dracula and his Vampire Bride" but some really fun Euro Horror films ie "Orgy of the Vampires and Horrible Sexy Vampire."

The only downside of this product is that there are a number of movies that are not about vampires - case in point - while I love "Nightmare Castle" with Barbara Steele there is nary a vampire in sight...rather this is a Revengeful Ghost movie. Witches Mountain - is an okay ...albeit rather dull horror movie regarding Witches.

However - when you figure - how many movies you are getting for the price - of say what you would spend on just one release on DVD - the quibbling becomes a moot point. As noted by other reviewers the transfer quality on some of the movies is pretty much a grab bag. But for the price what would you expect anyway?

The stuff is a classic and the quality of the DVD is great.  For a movie about killer living ice cream, it's about as campy as you would expect.  The movie loses a bit of steam toward the end but it is overall a great addition to the library of any fan of classic horror.
