i love these movie packs but this one really made me mad. i don't expect to get great transfers,but at least i expect to be able to watch the movies!!!! save your money and look at other collections to buy!!!

Back in the mid-1960's, a NYC TV station (WPIX-11) would broadcast a Saturday night show called CHILLER THEATER. The films in the MONSTERS 20 MOVIE PACK are precisely the kind of fare once featured on that weekly program. All it took was the family TV, a darkened living room and CHILLER THEATER to frighten many an over-imaginative child right out of his wits. The funny thing was-- we all loved every minute of it!

If you apply adult sensibilities and sophistication to such films, naturally one may find them lacking in plot, in quality of acting or special effects. However, if one were to approach these scarefests with the necessary childlike innocence . . . the chills, thrills and frights are here to be had. Relive your youth, or better yet-- share these movies with your own little monsters, and just maybe you'll see a bit of your long-ago self in your children's wide-eyed astonishment.

I found this movie pack to be a very good value for the price and type of movies that are shown. I was very happy with the purchase, although I sometimes like B rated movies,and cheaply made movies and occasionally stupid movies. There were only a couple movies I did not enjoy watching.

I'm very satisfied with this selection of movies. Very pleased with the value price. Also, it arrived at my doorstep just as advertised, in very good condition also!

Great! If you like the old horror films, you'll love this. A real bargain, too.

I bought this and another title of these types of dvds for my aunt for Christmas because we draw names in our family and only have a $20 limit. She got them a day and 2 days after Christmas and thanked me like 20 times.

I ordered the "Monsters Movie Pack" which contains 20 all-time favorite monster movies.
This will be a gift, so I don't know about the quility.
Once I had placed my order, it was here within three business days.
Very good seller.

This is a very nice collection of the oldies. Please bear in mind these are not digitally restored. These movies are exactly the way I saw them on the old black and white TV when I was a kid. If you are into the old B horror flicks and just want a stroll down memory lane this collection is perfect. The price is good too.

I'd say 3 out of the 20 movies were enjoyable
