Best Budget Movie Packs?

[Criswell]

Not horror, But the Abbott and Costello movie packs. Outstanding.

Thanks for the confirmation. I guess it just seems like too good a deal: it's in my nature to always look for the "catch", you know?

I'll quit fighting it and start WishListing.

Link? I'd like to see what I'm avoiding!

My personal favorites purchased over the last 2-3 years:

Camp Classics:


Walking Dead (now discontinued I hear):


Devil Made Me Do it (also discontinued):


Man's Worst Friend (ditto):


Don't regret these purchases for a second...especially paying less than $20 for 6 (usually) quality DVDs.

The Shriek Show 3-packs are great & highly recommended too...namely:

I have this set. It's pretty awesome! And only $6! It's got some great flicks such as Pieces, Memorial Valley Massacre, It Happened At Night Inn, Silent Night Bloody Night, Night of Bloody Horror, and Horror Rises from the Tomb.

And the above post has some awesome sets (although not necessarily 'budget' sets, they are still pretty f'in cheap). I have the Camp Classics and Walking Dead sets, and both the Zombie ones.

I'd be willing to trade it out if you have something of interest.

The titles certainly look interesting... Why didn't you like it?

[rxfiend]

quality is extremely piss poor. imagine using 4th or 5th generation VHS tapes. that's what they look like, some even worse. i can understand beat up prints, but fuck, they didn't even use prints (well, on a title or two it appears they used 16mm, but i'm not really sure).

[DrHerbertWest]

Reminds me of the quality on those Tales Of Voodoo sets. Some of them are plain unwatchable, literally, as they skip around and have constant visual glitches. I'll wait on that set you mentioned... Haha.

[satans-sadists]

More triple features are coming.

Fangoria:

Media Blasters has combined a bunch of its Shriek Show titles into a pair of collections: BLOODY SCHOOL GIRLS, arriving Nov. 20, contains Robert Deubel’s GIRLS NITE OUT, Tom McLoughlin’s ONE DARK NIGHT and Roberta Findlay’s BLOOD SISTERS, while MIDNIGHT MOVIES II showcases Ray Dennis Steckler’s BODY FEVER, LAS VEGAS SERIAL KILLER, HOLLYWOOD STRANGLER MEETS THE SKID ROW SLASHER and BLOOD SHACK. Each retails for $19.95.

[Mortis]

Sweet. Do all copies of One Dark Night have a piece of film?

[DrHerbertWest]

I'm all over those packs.

[X-human]

Or you could just buy the Horror Classics 250 Movie Megapack and be done with it.

I see there's another from Shriek Show called Cannibal Lunch Box. It has Warlock Moon, Man from Deep River and Blood Feast 2.

I have this on order solely for MFDR (because I get the sets cheaper than the individual movies most of the time). I don't know if I'll like the other two.
