Its a bit of a strange selection of films IMO, but meh......

Never seen part V before

Well damn. I was thinking that MGM somehow snagged the rights to the third one and was releasing them together. The first one is brilliance, the second is a big ball of cheese, and the third one is just so damn different and odd from the first two that I can't help but like it.

A 2-disc set from Timeless Media Group means these are just the same discs (Part 3 and a double feature of Parts 5 & 6) previously released, stuck in a tin to pretty them up. Since the transfers are ass, the old saying about polishing a turd applies.

I lucked out and got the Elite DVD of Part 3 in the Wal-mart dump bin for $5 a few years back. I'd like to get the Lionsgate 5 /6 disc to replace my Timeless one.

I was really hoping for Parts V, VI, and finally VII!

If anyone really feels the need to own this, check your local supermarket. I saw a ton of them today in my local stop and shop...and priced lower than amazon at 9.99. The tin case looks cool at least. They had it in a display with a bunch of other Halloween themed stuff (a vampire tin...zombies...dinosaurs...etc) Most of the movies in each were either the expected public domain stuff (ie Satanic Rites of Dracula, Night of the Living Dead, etc)...they also contained some stuff I have never heard of...I assume either retitlings or maybe some DTV stuff.

Picked this up today, and the tin box is actually pretty cool. 9.99 isnt bad for what you get.

Are the transfers different or the same?
