Summary: Average movies, great value!
Review: Definitely worth getting if you're looking to fatten up your horror collection. These movies vary from absolute classics ("Night of the Living Dead" and "House on Haunted Hill") to entertaining ("Snowbeast" and all of the werewolf movies) to downright boring (I literally slept through "Silent Night, Deadly Night"). I really enjoyed seeing all of these forgotten horror films that I probably would never have heard of, much less seen, had I not picked this collection up on a whim. If are a true horror fanatic, there's no question about it; you must own this set. If you are a casual horror fan looking for some serious gore and high-quality scares, don't bother. You won't find much of that here.

Summary: Some Good. Some Bad. Nothing Riveting.
Review: I am just going to review every movie on here so you can see which ones are good or bad.(best:***** worst:0)

Scream of the Wolf:*** Kind of boring, but still okay
Wolf Man:**** Good Movie. Bad Makeup.
Moon of the Wolf:** Okay Movie. Werewolf looks dumb.
Snowbeast:**** Entertaining. Good Creature but not seen enough.
Silent Night, Bloody Night:0 Boring as HELL!!!
Don't Look in the Basement:0 Huh? Pointless.
Jack the Ripper: 0 (AGAIN) One word why this movie sucks:Dubbing
Satanic Rights of Dracula:**** Very Entertaining.
House on Haunted Hill:***** Very Spooky. Vincent Price is great
Night of Living Dead:***** Scary. Disturbing. Dark. I loved it.

Overall, not worth it. Get Night of Living Dead, House on Haunted Hill, and Satanic Rights of Dracula and forget the others.

Summary: Avoid.
Review: I bought this set because it included "Night of the Living Dead", and I needed a replacement for the... Anniversery Edition NOTLD I bought last year... Terrible transfers, mostly 8-mm no-budgets from the 60's or 70's, really nothing even mildly interesting other than "House on Haunted Hill" or NOTLD. I was driven to get drunk even as I skimmed through all of the flicks, just to dull the brain spasms.

I've seen several of these sets, and I assume they all [stink]. The same movies are being repackaged in two-movie 'double-feature' DVDs ... don't buy! Just go get the nice, new official NOTLD DVD and screw the others.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Vault Of Horror! Vault Of Gore!
Review: I can't stand double sided DVDs because, they get scratched up so easy! I just don't let my friends borrow this because, I want to make sure that it stays in good condition. I do occasionally bring it to my friends house so that we can watch this what I like to call box set of cult classic horror movies! This doen't have very many special features but, it is worth buying! It doesn't just have George Romero's Night Of The Living Dead but, has nine other movies including the original House On Haunted Hill! This is a horror movie set that should not be missed but, wanted especially for Night Of The Living Dead! Get this for it truely is a masters work!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I Love It
Review: I love how people buy a DVD with a big skull on the cover, and then are disappointed because the horror movies are cheesy.
I ESPECIALLY respect the guy who gave "Don't Look In The Basement" a "0" rating. Of course, there was someone who gave "Last House on the Left" 1 star also, so...you summer blockbuster types are everywhere, arent you?
If you liked The Scream Trilogy The Blair Witch project and you can't sit through anything that has less action the Night of the Living Dead, then you shouldnt buy this film, because it isn't for you. Go to Blockbuster Video and rent Freddy vs. Jason and stop rating movies about which you know nothing.

Summary: the best of the worst!
Review: i saw this movie on the shelf one day and read the back of the box. i love horror films -- espicially old, cheesy ones. the reason i bought this set was [except for the cheap price] for 'silent night, deadly night'. however, that film isn't on the disc. it's actually 'silent night, bloody night', and older, more psychological film.

that kind of bummed me out at first, but then i discovered some treasures! [i had already owned 'night of the living dead', house on haunted hill' and 'pieces' on dvd]. my favorite [aside from the above-mentioned classics] is 'snowbeast'. it's a made-for-tv movie from 1977 about a yeti-like monster attacking a ski resort. it stars yvette mimieux and sylvia sidney [best known from tim burton films]. yes it's horrible, but it is quite entertaining.

as for none of these movies being remastered, that's fine with me. it only adds to the charm seeing these movies when they were actually released. i already own a remastered 'night of the living dead', so seeing this one is just like seeing it on television when i was eight or nine. extreme nostalgia!

if you are a horror movie fan and not expecting too much from a movie [which you can't with any horror film], don't need much in the way of extras [there are some cast and film info for some of the movies], and you're just looking for some dumb fun, i highly recommend this collection.

i also recommend its sister sets, 'fright night' and 'tales of terror', each with 10 so-bad-they're-good horror films!
