BUILDING A COLLECTION OF MONSTER MOVIES

[CountWolkoff]

Godzilla has a couple movies in that window.

I actually do own a copy of GODZILLA '54 (packaged with the 1956 Raymond Burr edition).


(Also, can't find a standalone copy of ABBOTT AND COSTELLO MEET DR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE...

I don't think there are any. You can get it in this set. Only 8 bucks at amazon. The other 3 are available on Blu-ray. Don't know why they didn't do J&H?

[Mike Scott]

Found an Aus. DVD of A&C Meet J&H. It's Region 0, so it should play on any machine. Only $8.

But the Monsters collections doesn't have ...Meet the Killer, Boris Karloff, does it?  You've got to get the complete movie set for that one.

Nope and Yep. There is an Aus. R0 DVD of "Killer".

New Year, new name stricken from the list: MURDERS IN THE RUE MORGUE.

One of my favorites! You could have gotten the Blu-ray for $5 more.

UPDATE 1.10.2024

One step forward, one step back:

After finding and buying what was supposed to be a standalone NTSC copy of ABBOTT AND COSTELLO MEET DR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE on Amazon, attained it only to discover it was Region 4, so the disc wouldn't read. I was under the assumption that it was a Canadian release, similar to my copy of LICENSE TO DRIVE. Sending back for a refund.

You can get the "Meet the Monsters" set (all 4 movies) even cheaper.

BUILDING A CLASSIC HORROR COLLECTION

It was only about a month ago that I had the idea of collecting the classics from the 1920's to the early 1960's; primarily on a DVD or Blu-Ray format.

Has anyone undertaken this project in the classic Super 8 format?

UPDATE 1.31.2024

My uncle was sick at Christmas and couldn't come down from Columbia to join us, so we just exchanged gifts.

Among what I received was UNIVERSAL HORROR COLLECTION, Vol. 2, which allows me to scratch off THE MAD GHOUL, THE MAD DOCTOR OF MARKET STREET, MURDERS IN THE ZOO, and THE STRANGE CASE OF DR. RX!

. . . which allows me to scratch off THE MAD GHOUL, THE MAD DOCTOR OF MARKET STREET, MURDERS IN THE ZOO, and THE STRANGE CASE OF DR. RX!

At the time, I wished they had replaced "The Mad Ghoul" with "Man Made Monster" to make it an all Lionel Atwill set.

UPDATE 2.7.2024

With the inclusion of THE BLACK CAT '41, I can safely island-hop Universal Horror Collection Volume 3.

(Kinda weird that Bela was in both this one and the '34 film)

Does that mean you're not getting V3?

[CountWolkoff]

Does that mean you're not getting V3?

I got all four movies in the set, so what's the point?
