3.0 out of 5 stars Most Films Can Be Found in other Mill Creek 50-Movie Packs, September 10, 2008

By	David Bassler (Richmond, VA USA) - See all my reviews

Mill Creek's Legends of Horror 50-Movie Pack continues the distributor's recent disturbing trend of recycling movies previously offered in their other 50-Movie Packs. Of the offerings in this boxed set, 31 of the 50 pictures can be found in other 50-Movie Packs, let alone their 100-Movie Packs, 250-Movie Packs and various other offerings. Thirteen of the films can be found in their Tales of Terror 50-Movie Pack, 3 in Drive-In Classics, 5 in Chilling Classics, 5 in Nightmare Worlds, 4 in Night Screams and 1 in Sci-Fi Classics. In fact, three films, Island Monster (1954), The Phantom Creeps (1949) and Shock (1946) can be found on 3 different 50-Movie Packs.

On a positive note, most of the new releases are films directed by Alfred Hitchcock early in his career - including such classics as The Lady Vanishes (1938), The Thirty-Nine Steps (1935), Sabotage (1936), Secret Agent (1936) and the Man Who Knew Too Much (1934). A number of Hitch's silent films from the 1920s, some of them quite good, can be found in this set. Although Hitchcock later produced some classic horror films, most of the public domain films in this set are straight dramas or even comedies. Juno and the Paycock (1930), for example, can hardly be considered to be a horror film.

As with most Mill Creek offerings, the quality of the prints ranges from mediocre to quite good. The films in the boxed set are listed below, along with the stars and the movie's rating on a 10 point scale gleaned from a popular movie database:

5.0 out of 5 stars FINALLY NO DOUBLE SIDED DISCS!, January 29, 2009

By	Elias A. Estrada "Lee Estrada - Midi Musician... (Winston Salem, NC, United States) - See all my reviews

I just purchased these and was pleased to see very good quality on dual layer discs with artwork on one side and title listings!

I wish Mill Creek would continue this practice and I would buy all future sets as I am a "B" film and Drive-In movie junkie from NJ
