50 Drive in Classics contains a couple of good movies. Tenebre and Phenomena, for example, it also contains a pretty good British slasher flick called Do Not Open Til Christmas and Mickey Rooney being unwatchably unsettling in the Manipulator. Chilling Classics has a couple of highlights, like a Bucket of Blood and Bad Taste, not to mention Jess Franco's Oasis of the Zombies, which is what it is, but it's not bad. The Mill Creek boxes are all in all a good buy. I don't trust the new grindhouse sets, since they just seem to be picking up teen hooligan sexploitation movies, which were better before the grindhouse era. If you want teen hooligan sexploitation, check out Something Weird video's offerings instead. And, yes, to answer your question the Mill Creek sets occasionally have the Mill Creek logo pop up, which isn't all that bad. As a rule, I'd say bulk boxes are mostly good for accquiring Corman flicks and for bolstering your vintage horror collection, not to mention if you need background noise to go to bed. Plus, there's some hillarious random crap. One of the sets contains a movie with Richard Moll about Brigham Young and Joesph Smith which is pantswettingly funny and an early Verhoeven movie called Katie's Passion, which like anytime Paul Verhoeven's making something sexy, is pretty good if you don't mind a massive downer.
