I picked up my copy at Tower for $19.99 plus tax -- not bad for eight films on two discs!
Too bad the films didn't get the royal treatment -- there are no extras, not even trailers -- but it's still a great bargain to have them all for a reasonable price. BRIDES OF DRACULA and CURSE OF THE WEREWOLF alone make the package worth owning. PHANTOM OF THE OPERA is a disappointment, but at least it's a noble, ambitious failure. The two psychological horror films, PARANOIAC and NIGHTMARE, are a bit mechanical in the story department, but Freddie Francis directed them in a very stylish and effective manner. KISS OF THE VAMPIRE and EVIL OF FRANKENSTEIN are somewhat less interesting but still worth seeing. I haven't watched NIGHT CREATURES yet -- I've been saving that for last, as it's one Hammer film I've never seen, even on television.
