first off "a death at love house" IS NOT,REPEAT IS NOT in this set.if you are looking for it you can find it in other collections,maybe even with "souls".
dominique and tormented are just to bad for even "so bad it's funny" really!!!!
skip this and look elsewhere for your ghost thrills

Price aside this disk is not worth putting in the time to view it. The other 2 reviews (obviously submitted by the same person) liked Death at Love House,,,unfortunately this movie is not one of the ones on the disc. Dominique is just barely passable and considering the names involved almost a shock,,did they need the money that badly?? Tormented is by far the worst,,pure drawn out crap slow moving poor acting,,a waste!! Carnival has some derivative zombi walks and even jazz zombi dancing but it just cant cut it,,three poor excuses for a ghost genre dvd,,Mine is trashed already.

"Death at Love House" (1978) It was a good movie with a surprising end. It was after all a made for TV movie.

"Dominique" A greedy husband and his wealthy, but emotionally fragile, wife begin a game of cat-and-mouse that turns deadly. Cliff Roberston plays a fortune-seeking entrepreneur out to commit the perfect murder. He soon discovers that his dead wife isn't about to make it that easy for him. It too had a surprising end. The two movies, "Death at Love House" and "Dominique" make buying this tape worthwile. At least, for me it did.

"Carnival of Souls" was a good movie. A young woman walks away from a car accident, confused and lost. She takes refuge in a town, but can't shake the feeling that the inhabitants aren't quite what they appear to be. I had seen something similar to this already so I kinda guessed at the end. I was right.

If you like those made for TV movies then you will like this collection of "ghost" movies.

It's been many years since I saw "Death at Love House", I saw it when it came on TV back in the 70's. It stars a very young Kate Jackson and equally young, Robert Wagner. Basically, it's about this guy and wife doing a story on an old movie star who was killed in 1935. Robert Wagner's character, Joel Gregory, Jr. was the one who decided to write a story about the romance between this movie star and his father. It's strange and suspenseful. I was surprised by the end when I first saw and I was surprised again (cause it's been almost 30 years and I forgot the ending). The DVD was taken from Video tape, the picture was as good as it could get (having been transferred to DVD) which was pretty good in my opinion.

This tape has 3 haunting stories, the second one I watched was "Dominique" and because I like suspenseful type stories, I liked this one. I was surprised by the ending. "A greedy husband and his wealthy, but emotionally fragile, wife begin a game of cat-and-mouse that turns deadly. Cliff Roberston plays a fortune-seeking entrepreneur out to commit the perfect murder. He soon discovers that his dead wife isn't about to make it that easy for him." It's a little slow in the beginning, but once she dies things get confusing, is she really dead? Or is she still alive? The picture was pretty good (like the "Death at Love House") and with just these two movies I thought it was well worth the $10 I spent.

"Carnival of Souls" was a good movie. A young woman walks away from a car accident, confused and lost. She takes refuge in a town, but can't shake the feeling that the inhabitants aren't quite what they appear to be.

If you like the Made for TV type of movie, then this small collection is just right for you. I didn't think they were all that scary (course I watched them during the day), I would say more suspenseful and thought provoking than anything.
