Dawn of The Dead Ultimate Edition, one of the best sets I've ever seen. Anchor Bay outdid themselves on that one.
specs are here (http://www.anchorbayentertainment.com/dawnofthedead/)

Yeah, I'd have to agree, the "Dawn of the Dead Ultimate Edition" is pretty darn cool. Also I like the "King Kong" special edition in the tin.
I still wanna get the "Thunderbirds" Megaset in the giant box, really pretty. They could have packaged it in something much smaller, but it looks pretty cool with all the colors.

I think any of the Universal Monster sets are amazing. The best is Frankenstein. And so DAMN cheap.

Yeah, those are cool too. I rented the Dracula and Frankenstein and Wolfman sets, and bought the Black Lagoon set. I love that Lagoon Creature!!!! (I really do. It's no foolin')

I gotta agree with the Universal Legacy sets. My personal favourite is of course, the Dracula set, however I also own Frankenstein and The Wolf Man, which are great too!
The Amityville set that came out to promote the remake is pretty good, too. The documentary things on the bonus disc are both pretty good.
To stray from horror for a sec, Im very impressed with the Looney Tunes: Golden Collection. I have Vol. 1, and it's incredible. Most of the episodes are among the best EVER, the features are great [Esp. the ones the focus on certain characters], the menus are cool, the packaging is great....I just cant say enough about it! I plan to pick up Vol. 2 sometime soon...

I bought it when it first came out it was about $160. So 80 bucks is a hell of a deal! I like the last disk with the game on it to see all the interviews, and your forgetting the 3D glasses that come with it.

I have several box sets so I'll just grade them all...
Nightmare on Elm St. A
Leprechaun C-
Sleepaway Camp C+
From Dusk Til Dawn B-
There's a Puppet Master one out (Out of Print and hard to find) that goes for close to $200 on Ebay.
There's also a Chucky Collection, but it only contains CP2, CP3, & Bride of Chucky. No CP 1 or Seed.)
I have had the Friday the 13th one, From Crystal Lake to Manhatten, on my Christmas list for 2 years running now and still didn't get it. I'm thinking I'll go buy it at Best Buy with some of the gift cetificates I got.
The other day, I found a 25th Anniversary Halloween box set on Ebay containing all 8 movies. I'm pretty sure I'll be buying that one as soon as I can get somebody to confirm for me that the audio is in original English and not overdubbed English. (The set is a Chinese release I believe.)
There's a Hellraiser set that looks pretty cool because it comes in the cube but some of the later Hellraiser movies really suck.
Also, there's a Phantasm set, but I think anyone that's been here a while could tell you how much I like Phantasm. (Here's a hint... I don't.)
Anyways, that's all I can think of off the top of my head, but I'm sur there are a few more out there...
The next 2 I'm getting are Halloween and Friday the 13th though.

I have to agree, I love the Universal Studios Monster sets as well.
I have The Wolfman, Frankenstein and The Creature from the Black Lagoon sets, Frankenstein is my favorite.

The Man With No Name trilogy. The DVDs are fairly barebones, but it's only $30 for the whole set.

Cheaper to buy 'em separate. The discs are exactly the same, too. Only difference is you dont get the box.
