I bought a set of three horror movies at Zellers for $10

Sure, they arent anything amazing, but worth watching: Teenage Zombies, The Blob, and Horror Express

i'm finding (and buying) all kinds of box sets of old oddball horrors that have anywhere from 4 to 20 movies.
There is some repetition (Carnival of souls, house on haunted hill) which means that they are probably public domain ...
Some of the movies are so bad its unbelievable but i find the odd gem too ..
The old classic b&w films were about 70 minutes so thay have no problem fitting 2 or more on each disc.

I had the Universal Monster set with Frankenstein, Dracula, and The Wolf Man. I sold it though when I ran out of booze money. A decision I deeply regret.

That kinda sucks in some many ways.

I recommend the late 60's/early 70's BLOOD ISLAND movies box set (known as the "BLOOD ISLAND VACATION" box set). You get three movies starring John Ashley and produced by Eddie Romero, one of the great geniuses of Filipino filmmaking. And a fourth film by Al Adamson which has nothing to do with the other three, really, except that it has the word "Blood" in the title, and that supposedly it was made to "resemble" one of Romero's movies.

Eddie: The OTHER Romero.

Personally, I think these films are the cat's pajamas. Yes, I know that's an antiquated expression. But I don't care.

Oh, and for that posted who mentioned "Horror Express"--that film is one of my absolute favorite horror movies of all time! No really! It's so much fun, I can hardly believe it. Even a scratchy old yucky public domain version is okay, not the best, but okay.

In my opinion, It the best of the set. I loved it! Although the Blob was also pretty awesome.....Teenage Zombies was good for a whole other reason, lol....

The part with the eye was pretty messed tho

Got it for Xmas. Im usually not a fan of 'classic' horror, but Im digging the silent ones like Hunchback of Notre Dame.

I'd reccomend it to anyone just because its so cheap and it gets you exposed to all kinds of horror.

Off the top of my head, I have at least 13 of the movies out of the 50 and have seen several more of them. For the price, it's a no-brainer. Get them. Makes a good addition to your movie collection. When you buy sets like this, you nearly always end up with several of the same movies. I have five copies of Night of the Living Dead. I have bought 10 movie sets just for one movie, especially if it is one I have hunted for. The price for a set of 8-10 movie classics is usually half the cost of one new release and you never know when they'll produce more sets like this.

thjere are some good titles in there ..

the only problem is that in these big collections of public domain there is no care given to the quality .. and films like Deep Red deserve a better quality release.

that being said - i'd buy it if the price is right - just to get the other little oddballs that are hard to find.

The other 50 pack that I got from these was actually pretty decent quality, surprisingly enough.

I made a poorly thought out deal with my parents last month, so Im not alowed to buy any movies until April...but I put some money in Paypal and Im ordering this first thing in the morning on April Fools Day.

Bad Taste is one of the main reasons this set caught my eye. Been wanting to see it for ages, but cant find it anywhere but Ebay, where I can get this set for slightly more than the Bad Taste DVD.

As for the title, I think they just wanted something to call it. How chilling could something called "Naked Massacre" be?:p

it was one of the first cheapo tapes you could get also ..
i think i have a beta of it ...


its a mixed blessing - cheap public domain films ... when they are actually good .. they often dont get a decent clean release

Thanks....it came in a smaller version of one of these public domain sets, had The Blob and Teenage Zombies with it. Easily the best of the bunch, no question, though I enjoyed all three.

Got my version of Bad Taste from deepdiscountdvd pretty cheap. Anyway...


Driller Killer -- Abel Ferrara
Deep Red -- David Hemmings
Silent Night, Bloody Night -- Patrick O’Neal
Demon, The -- Cameron Mitchell
Jesse James Meets Frankenstein’s Daughter -- John Lupton

I was planning on buying most of these, now that you've shown me this set I think my plans have changed.

I have the 50-movie "Sci-Fi Classics" set, and am happy with it for the 20 dollars I paid for it. There's a mixed bunch of stuff, including a few horror films, a lot of cheesy sci-fi, and even some weird stuff like tropical fantasies ("The Wild Women of Wongo" etc.). Heck, there is even a freaking Don Dohler movie in there. That alone is worth five or six bucks. And there's some Larry Buchanan and other stuff. It's craptacular! If you like public domain sets and know the territory and the general quality of these releases, it's good popcorn stuff for a Sunday afternoon.
