I bought this edition of VOODOO MAN to enhance my Bela Lugosi collection. I would highly recommend it for the superior picture and sound quality of the Rifftrax release...not perfect, but by far the best print available. There are a couple of minor cuts in the film, but is far more complete than my older edition which was recorded on VHS tape off of television back in the late 70s then transfered to DVD. Another great feature of the Rifftrax release is the option of playing the movie with or without the riff commentary.

For Bela Lugosi fans you just can't beat the value of this release. Pick it up while you still can!

The only missing links here are the bots and the understory of MST. The humor is still great, fast and multilevel. Buy all your favs. Worth every dime.

this film is very entertaining, even without the riff-commentary. george zucco is hamming it up, john carradine is doing a sort of "lenny-from-of-mice-and-men" impersonation, and of course bela is always good. mike, kevin and bill are funny too.

I can't believe that I had never even heard of this movie until I ran across the Rifftrax issue while cruising Amazon! I mean, Bela Lugosi, George Zucco & John Carradine!?!?! Holy mother of pearl, what a dream-team cast!
If you've seen any of my reviews, you know I love bad horror films, and this is right in the sweet spot! The Rifftrax guys are definitely in fine form--they have golden material to work with here & they make the most of it. I'm also really happy that the DVD gives the option of playing the movie straight, without commentary. DO watch it that way at least once.
This release is an absolute masterpiece, and I can't do it justice. JUST BUY IT!!! DROP WHATEVER YOU ARE DOING AND BUY IT!!! It will make your life better! You will be a happier person! Give it to all your friends & strangers you meet on the street! BUY IT!!! I'M WATCHING!! BUY IT NOW!!!

I didn't think I'd be able to see this film again. Thankfully, you can play this without the commentary. One minute of it was all I could take. Sorry, but I find their humor sickening. At least Legend didn't colorize it. They claim the print has only one bad spot, but that is far from the truth. There are a number of splices and instances of print damage, but it's still a watchable film that's great to see. The print is a re-issue from Astor Pictures so the title card and end title are not original.

Rifftraxs Voodoo Man is lots of crazy fun,you can watch it with Mike,Kevin,and Bill or without,either way you will laugh.The print is pretty good and its a hard film to find,Bela Lugosi is trying to find a match for his wife to bring her back to living state from zombie land,he has a gas station who's manager is none other than George Zucco in the flesh,they kidnap women to find the perfect match to bring her back to living state,that's where the Voodoo comes in.John Carradine is a moron or drunk who grabs the women and beats the drum in the ceremony,you will laugh till you cry with this crazy no budget movie,so kick back and be ready for Voodoo Man.

That being said, these are still pretty funny. I have the box sets of MST3K and the Cinematic Titanic DVD's and they are a hoot. These are right there - just a step below. But don't let that stop you from buying these - they are, as stated previously, still pretty funny.
