Man, that's some list!  I have a long way to go, because my list is as follows:

The Incredible Two-Headed Transplant/The Thing With Two Heads

Strange Invaders/Invaders From mars      I thought IFM was the '53 classic, but it wasn't.

Panic In Year Zero/Last Man On Earth

That's it!

Wade Williams has the '53 IFM. You should be able to get it at amazon and other places. Get the 50th Anni. SE.

Check out oldies.com for MM discs. They have a lot of them for around $5.

BTW, most of those single movie MM disc titles were rereleased in the dbl feature discs.

Be aware that the Alpha (ALP) DVDs are their issues of PD movies, so the quality varies, but is mostly typical PD quality. Great covers, though!

Oldies has WITCHFINDER GENERAL for $6.98. I would love a DVD of MASTER OF THE WORLD! I taped it from TCM, so I don't need the VHS. Would also like BURN, WITCH, BURN.

I don't have any of the Beach Party or biker stuff and Morons from Outer Space/Alien from L.A. would probably be the last one I'd buy.

There are 3 OOP titles on your list that I wish I didn't have to pay collector prices for! Don't know if I'll ever "collect them all", but there's still several more that I need (including those OOP ones).

Especially considering, at least for me, price point is what made the MGM MM series a no brainer!!

The Attic/Crawlspace

What's the Matter with Helen?/Whoever Slew Auntie Roo?

The Tomb of Ligeia/An Evening of Edgar Allan Poe & Tales of Terror/Twice Told Tales~Used to see these all the time at Best Buy and kept dragging my feet....

Count Yorga Vampire/The Return of Count Yorga~Speaking of which...Did you check Amazon Creeper?  $15 new, $13 used!!

I sort of collected them, but I wasn't religious about it.  I guess I have about 70 percent of them.  I don't think there are any MM titles I really want that I don't have.

I'm kinda the same way. The series just happens to have a lot of movies I like. Lot of '50s sci-fi, lots of AIP and like that.

I have all of the Vincent Price titles and quite a few of the others, just got the Raven/Comedy of Terrors one at a used disc place for 5.95 was pretty happy about that since I have seen it going for 25 on ebay.  Im sure there are more that I want but I believe I have most of the titles in the series that I want either on the MM label or from another source.

And, yep, I've got the disc.... :)

I spotted a couple of Midnite Movies sets at K-Mart recently, both containing four movies. They were something like $17.98 per set. I just ordered one of the sets for less at walmart.com today:
http://www.walmart.com/ip/16200165 (http://www.walmart.com/ip/16200165)
I wasn't really all that interested in "Morons from Outer Space" or "Alien from LA", but it's worth it to grab copies of both "The Man from Planet X" and "Angry Red Planet". I don't recall offhand what four movies were in the other set. I'll have to check again to see for sure what they contained.

That's an odd-ball grouping for sure. Angry Red Planet is a VERY bizarre film. Totally worth the 15 bucks...
Title: Re: Collecting The "Midnite Movies" DVDs
Post by: ramsey37 on August 05, 2011, 11:51:21 AM
I was in K-Mart this morning and looked at the second set I mentioned earlier. It contains:
"Strange Invaders"
"Invaders From Mars"
"Invisible Invaders"
"Journey to the Seventh Planet"
The correct price is $17.99, although you might be able to find it for less elsewhere. I already have all four movies, so I'll be content with the "Angry Red Planet" set.

I love that Ghost of Dragstrip Hollow/Ghost in the Invisible Bikini DVD!  That is a heck of a double whammy.

Also love Reptilicus.  Any day of the week, it works every time.

I was in K-Mart this morning and looked at the second set I mentioned earlier.

BTW, how many DVDs are in one of these sets?

Ghost of Dragstrip Hollow is a fun one. I recollect the mini-review in CoF exclaiming how Paul Blaisdell "makes an ass of himself" at the end of the film. A rather harsh critique of the great man; somewhat deserved though.

According to cduniverse, they are 2 disc sets.

Here's two more sets and that appears (?) to be the lot.

Phantom From 10,000 Leagues/Beast With 1,000,000 Eyes/War-Gods Of The Deep/At The Earth's Core

Land That Time Forgot/The People That Time Forgot/Panic In Year Zero/The Last Man On Earth

I'm working on doing all the Midnite Movies in amazon "Listmania" lists. This first list includes all the VHS titles that didn't get a MM DVD release.

It sure would have been nice if those 12 (9 really) titles had gotten a MM DVD release! Unfortunately, now that they've discovered "Movies on Demand", they're not gonna go back!

I have the following for, basically, the cost of postage. One DVD for $3.00 and all 4 for $6.00.  All mint. PM me if interested.

Dr. Phibes Rises Again
"X" The Man With The X-Ray Eyes
Frogs
Bucket of Blood

(Frogs and Bucket DVDs have the same box art/text as the VHS boxes, but without the MM logo.)

are more difficult to find.

So far, I have picked up the following from Big Lots!

The Abominable Dr Phibes/Dr Phibes Rises Again
Tales of Terror/Twice Told Tales
Invasion of the Star Creatures/Invasion of the Bee Girls
Attack of the Puppet People/Village of the Giants
Strange Invaders/Invaders from Mars
Morons from Outer Space/Alien From LA

Bucket of Blood.
I Bury the living


Warner Brothers also had a Horror Double Feature collection.
  Most were Hammer Studios features
Chamber of Horrors/Brides of Fu Manchu
It/The shuttered Room
I walked with a Zombie/The Body Snatcher
Village of the Damned/Children of the Damned
Curse of Frankenstein/Taste the Blood of Dracula
Horror of Dracula
The Mummy

Most of the double features were $3.00-$5.00 -- some were $1.88.

These were bought  one or two at a time over the last year and a half.
You have to wade through a lot of dreck, but that makes finding the gems all the more rewarding.

I've got all the titles on both of your lists, but I think I only got one or two of them from BL. Most of those never showed up at my BL and most of the rest I already had when they did.

Know what you mean about wading through the junk. You really earn those discounts!  :laugh:

Mike, sorry I'm getting back to you late.  I just discovered a place that has a bunch for $1 to $2 and am working on those.  I may post back again though once I've exhausted them and I see what I still need.

Not to long ago I realized that I didn't have The Fall of the House of Usher or The Tomb of Ligeia / An Evening of Edgar Allan Poe nor did I have Dr. Phibes Rises Again; Well I was able to procure "Tomb/Evening" and the double feature of Abominable Dr. Phibes/Dr. Phibes Rises Again thru Deep Discount but wasn't having much luck with "House of Usher" (12 bucks used thru Amazon/Ebay).  I happened into a V Stock this evening and they actually had two used copies of "House of Usher", 5 bucks!!  I couldn't believe it and of course I couldn't pass it up!

One of my favorites of the series and here I didn't even know I didn't have it on dvd, though I did have it on vhs as part of a Vincent Price set.

Wow! I have to say.......I am very fortunate to live in a city where finding out-of-print and older DVDs are easier to locate. There is a used record/video store in Las Vegas that has a large surplus of hard-to-find  DVDs. New and used.
The aforementioned DVDs you posted are still at my local ZIA Records. Years after being released.

If I knew you were looking for those particular titles, I would have posted the info.

I haven't looked into the prices on these (I know some are easier to find than others) but here are 6 more Midnite Movies I still want to pick up;

Tales of Terror/Twice Told Tales (Another one that I can't believe I don't already have!)
Count Yorga Vampire/The Return of Count Yorga (Just watched these on Netflix and would love to add them to my collection!)
Planet of the Vampires (Again something I just watched on Netflix and want to add to my collection)
The Attic/Crawlspace
What's the Matter with Helen?/Whoever Slew Auntie Roo? (I've actually seen this one around in stores, just haven't picked it up!)
Panic in Year Zero!/Last Man on Earth
