I believe the War of the Worlds film comes with a commentary, not sure what, if anything, else it includes.
Magic includes Fats and Friends" featurette, Interview with Anthony Hopkins, Interview with cinematographer Victor J. Kemper, A.S.C., Archival Anthony Hopkins radio interview, Ann-Margret make-up test, Still gallery, Theatrical trailers, TV spots, and Radio spots according to Amazon.
The Invisible Ray was one of five films on a Bela Lugosi pack. As a result, it really does not include any special features (except MAYBE a trailer, I would have to check to be sure).
I do not believe Scanners includes any special features except maybe the original trailer. I recently found out that Criterion will be releasing their edition next month. While that version will not include any commentaries, from what I understand, it will include New, restored 2K digital film transfer, supervised by director David Cronenberg, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack on the Blu-ray; The “Scanners” Way, new documentary on the film’s special effects, featuring interviews with Cronenberg’s collaborators; Mental Saboteur, a new interview with actor Michael Ironside;The Ephemerol Diaries, a 2012 interview with actor and artist Stephen Lack; Excerpt from a 1981 interview with Cronenberg on the CBC’s The Bob McLean Show; New, restored 2K digital transfer of Stereo (1969), Cronenberg’s first feature film; Trailer and radio spots; and an essay by critic Kim Newman. So, there is a good chance I will be buying the film again through Criterion to gain access to all of these special features.
