Up first is the GREATEST TERROR CLASSICS - 24 Disc Set which offers up a staggering 100 films classic, obscure and cult movies. This set is actually a repackaging of the PURE TERROR and the HORROR CLASSICS ANNIVERSARY EDITION 12-Disc sets at a discounted price - which is awesome. The Horror Classics focused on horror from the 1920's through the early 1960's featuring some choice cuts including Carnival of Souls (1962), Nightmare Castle (1965) with Barbara Steele, the Roger Corman productions of The Little Shop of Horrors (1960), The Terror (1963), and Dementia 13 (1963), William Castle's The House on haunted Hill (1958) with Vincent Price plus silet-era classics The Phantom of the Opera (1925), The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1923) and Noseferatu (1922) - it's a very well-rounded collection that also loaded with quite a few stinkers such as the horrendous atom age stinker The Beast of Yucca Flats (1961) with wrestler Tor Johnson (Plan 9 from Outer Space) and The Ape (1940) with Bela Lugosi.
Of the two sets I'm more partial to the PURE TERROR 12-Disc Set which is loaded with tons of great b-move madness and cult cinema oddities including a trio of films from Spanish horror icon Paul Naschy, Lucio Fulci's The House by the Cemetery (1981), the insane Italian actioner Hands of Steel (1986) with John Saxon (A Nightmare on Elm Street), the kiwi-terror Death Warmed Up (1984) and the underrated Euro-chiller The Night Evelyn Came Out of Her Grave (1971) - there's some great treasures on this set, we have plenty of schlock, cult-terror, slashers and drive-in chillers and quite a few groaners too, such as the super-corny My Mom's a Werewolf (1989), but even that appealed to my love of bad cinema. Many of these titles are available through other sources with more pristine transfers with supplemental materials but this set will not break your wallet and for what you might pay for three deluxe editions you're getting fifty and one weird adventure into the dusty vaults of obscure cinema.

It's a fun set, if it came down to choosing one over the other I recommend the PURE TERROR 12-Disc set for it's variety and dearth of 70's and 80's drive-in titles.
Mill Creek Entertainment usually stick with public domain and Crown International library titles with their budget collections but do occasionally license indie-horror titles such as with the BLOOD BATH 12 Movie Collection a few years back which introduced me to British screamer queen Fiona Horsey (Angst) and here we have a UK-centric collection of low-budget and not altogether inspiring horror movies from the past few years, without exception the quality of the productions and the performances are very poor. If you can pick it up for just a few bucks I'd gift this one to that pain in the ass nephew of yours who routinely snipes your ass on Call of Duty: Ghosts...

Up next is the mandatory zombie-film collection featuring most the of the usual suspects, George A. Romero's seminal Night of the Living Dead (1968), the voodoo zombie classic White Zombie (1932) with Bela Lugosi, the surreal chiller Carnival of Souls (1962) and Vincent Price in The Last Man on Earth (1960) which is still the finest adaptation of the story to this day, fun stuff... and then there's everything else... like Jess Franco's completely awful OASIS OF THE ZOMBIES (1981). So, it's not all great and the good stuff here is included on many other collections including the PURE TERROR 12-Disc Set, but it would make a fun stocking stuffer for a new horror fan such as a son or daughter who love THE WALKING DEAD.... but only if you get it for $5 or less.

The title of this final multi-pack drew me right in - THE BEST OF THE WORST - and it has great eye catching artwork... so how are the films? Pretty terrible, there are exactly three movies here I absolutely love: the stupendously awful Manos: The Hands of Fate (1960), the Francis Ford Coppola shocker Dementia 13 (1963) and Gothic chiller The Terror (1963) starring Jack Nicholson (The Shining) and Boris Karloff (Black Sabbath) and directed by Coppola, Roger Corman, Jack Hill (Foxy Brown), Monte Hellman and even Nicholson - what a glorious mess! Everything else is the worst sort of atomic age sci-fi you've ever seen, it's truth in advertising. There's just no way I could sit down and sit through any of it but you now why I love these sorta of collections? They make fun background movies, play em during parties or when I'm doing chores around the house, you can walk in watch a few seconds and leave and not miss a things - they're just disposable and fun

They're certainly not all b-movie treasure but there's some fun to be had with each of these collections. I highly recommend the PURE TERROR 12-Disc Set (read full review HERE) and those 12-disc collections if you can snag 'em for $5 or less.

The title of this final multi-pack drew me right in - THE BEST OF THE WORST - and it has great eye catching artwork... so how are the films? Pretty terrible, there are exactly three movies here I absolutely love: the stupendously awful Manos: The Hands of Fate (1960), the Francis Ford Coppola shocker Dementia 13 (1963) and Gothic chiller The Terror (1963) starring Jack Nicholson (The Shining) and Boris Karloff (Black Sabbath) and directed by Coppola, Roger Corman, Jack Hill (Foxy Brown), Monte Hellman and even Nicholson - what a glorious mess! Everything else is the worst sort of atomic age sci-fi you've ever seen, it's truth in advertising. There's just no way I could sit down and sit through any of it but you now why I love these sorta of collections? They make fun background movies, play em during parties or when I'm doing chores around the house, you can walk in watch a few seconds and leave and not miss a things - they're just disposable and fun

There you have it, some budget-minded stocking stuffers for the horror-minded this year from Mill Creek Entertainment. They're certainly not all b-movie treasure but there's some fun to be had with each of these collections. I highly recommend the PURE TERROR 12-Disc Set (read full review HERE) and those 12-disc collections if you can snag 'em for $5 or less. Keep in mind that Mill Creek also offer a fun selection of Blu-ray double features and a staggering variety of nifty 12 film collections for cheap, too!
