And the rest are great additions as well.

How much does one of those run?

At Deep Discount it's $45...and that's a steal! It's probably my favorite boxset. It really is a classic horror must-have.

It comes with 5 DVDs, 2 movies per DVD, but they're good quality, and most have commentaries. It also has a fascinating feature-length documentary on Lewton.

Yep, it gets my vote as well.

The Black Cat

Doc Faustus 12-10-2007 09:47 AM

I love Cat People, but the Black Cat takes itself slightly less seriously and that makes it much better.

Yellow Jacket 12-11-2007 05:57 AM

10-6, Cat People moves on. Next match up shortly.
