Customer Review: Excellent Set, No Problems Viewing
I purchased this set when it first came out, about two years ago. I put it away for several months, as it was to be a Christmas present. Then I began reading all the negative reviews about these disks freezing up. As a result, I didn’t bother opening the set and figured it was money down the drain. Several months ago I decided to check these disks to see if at least some of the disks would play. Lo and behold, every one of the eight films played fine and looked gorgeous to boot. I cannot believe that my set was the only one produced without flaws. I agree with another reviewer that people who have problems with these disks may be trying to play them on a cheap DVD player. If you bought your player for $30 or $60, for god’s sake break down and buy a decent one. It’s true that this set contains no extras, only the 8 movies. It’s also true that the disks are double-sided, which means you have to be extra careful not to damage them. But the films look better than they ever have, and they are all terrific movies (including Paranoiac and Nightmare). How on earth anyone can complain about getting 8 fine films in gorgeous transfers for so little money is beyond me. My purpose in writing this review is to put out the word to folks who might want to buy this set but are afraid to: As long as you have a decent player, these movies play fine. Ignore the naysayers, buy the set, and enjoy!

Customer Review: Very Interesting
This collection contains eight movies that propose a different kind of suspense and horror. The most of them are filmed in color, but there are two (Paranoia and Nightmare) that were done in black and white. Although the temes are classic of the horror movies( vampires, werewolfs, etc), the style of the cinematography is different. If you like the good horror films, this is an excellent choice.
