Best Budget Movie Packs?
At work, I am constantly surrounded by the cheapie movie packs usually put out by Brentwood. I saw a couple with interesting titles but wanted to start this thread... What are YOUR favorite packs? I'd like to pick some up and they're relatively cheap, but I'd like guidance.

I'm a big fan of those 50 movie sets. Quality is crap but loads of good titles buried away in there.
  Great for when you get a nasty cold and have to spend the week in bed!

Can anyone vouch for the quality of the following?
  Shriek Show is kinda sucky, yes? If so, are these at least uncut movies? Widescreen? I can't find any reviews yet, consarnit!

Is there a site/list with all the Shriek Show triple feature releases? I've never heard of this one and would like to order whichever ones I'm missing.

 This one's worth getting for The Bronx Executioner and Hands Of Steel alone. Very good cheese. The other two movies are The New Barbarians which is already available from Shriek Show and Assassin - a turd of a movie. Not even the extended R-Rated Home Video version they included was watchable.  Includes How Awful About Allan which is simply brilliant. The Black Room is kinda weird but not a bad movie, co-starring Linnea Quigley. The Giant Spider Invasion is fun but there's a better DVD of this movie out there. Invasion From Inner Earth is borderline crap/semi interesting.

I love those Shriekshow sets. I actually compared them to the single releases at the local HMV and I was getting the 3 movies in the pack for less than one of the movies cost as a stand alone. Maybe not all the sets work out as good as that but it's still a pretty sweet deal for movies I wanted anyway.

I like the Media Blasters 3 packs. And as far as dual sided discs go, you can't beat Anchor Bay's Drive-In classics.

I was at another Best Buy a couple weeks ago, and they had a horror section like the one here used to, i.e. sweet! Anyway they had the Evil Animals box which I grabbed to get Day of the Animals for about the cost of ordering it solo.
I had Grizzly already from ordering it when it first came out, and was kinda surprised an identical 2 disc SE was in the box. Soon to be part of a new trade list coming to a trade forum near you. Anyway, yeah the MB boxsets are a great deal. Get if you can (you can always order online). |

If so, was that just a fluke on that one set you picked up? The set is listed as having only three discs at Amazon. Weird! Am I just misreading this altogether?

the shriek show sets are always worth the money, even if a movie or two stinks. These sets are usually the same price as a single release. I've bought many titles this way.
My favorite brentwood sets are "Horror Rises from the Grave', "Blood bath" and "Roots of Evil." However, I haven't bought a Brentwood pack in a long time, ever since they started packing those horrible Sub Rosa films. Another favorite of mine is a 50 pack of SCI-FI movies from Mill Creek. Quality is vhs, if not lower, but for $20, there was enough good stuff to warrant the purchase. However, stay AWAY from that Grindhouse Experience set by VideoAsia. I'm still pissed about spending $20 on that. |
