what other horror films should have a box set?

Don't know about that - not many *stand-out* candidates.

But if someone said a comprehensive box set of Val Lewton movies was due, I'd buy them a hearty meal! All those CAT / COBRA / LEOPARD people....wunnerful. The studios must be on crack to be so tardy with this.

Someone in another group recently remarked that Lewton had made a much-admired western called Apache Drums, which I had almost forgotten. (Immigrant Welsh mining community Vs Apaches.......Honestly! ).

Had some very scary scenes in it where the Apaches infest a besieged church, clambering thru the skylights/windows to the screams of the occupants.

CRUISING

I spoke of a collection on laserdisc some weeks ago. I've found out it was released by Image Entertainment. Surely this means thay can re-release them on DVD?

THE VAL LEWTON COLLECTION The Nine RKO Horror Films Image Entertainment ID2815TU 1995 Twelve sides, extended play Produced for laserdisc by Sergio Leemann Playing time: 10.7 hours Though it does not include the RKO features Youth Gone Wild and Mademoiselle Fifi, this is as complete a 'Lewton box set' as exists. Out of print and on a now obsolete technology (laserdisc), these sets sell used (and sometimes unopened 'new' on ebay for approximately $100.00. Besides the actual collection of films, the box includes a secondary audio track commentary by Robert Wise during Bedlam, and there is a four-page liner notes sheet with credits and film summaries. Laserdisc has the drawback of requiring the user to flip over the disc in order to have the machine read the second side (just like a vinyl record, unless a person has a laserdisc machine with dual reading abilities). However, compared to Video, which has only an image quality of 270 lines per screen, laserdisc clearly has a better image with it's 420 lines (The newer DVD technology is 500 lines per screen, which makes for a better picture, plus those little CD-size discs do not need to be flipped.) Besides the picture quality, the sound on these discs are very good.

MOTEL HELL!!

NIGHT OF THE LEPUS

Hell, any DVD of it would be good!

The 4 Critters movies. But then, I'm like the world's biggest Critter fan

I'd certainly like to add my voice to the clamour for a Val Lewton box set. 'Isle of the Dead' and 'The Seventh Victim' were two of my favourite films as a child. I recall watching them on late night

Not newlyweds, generally. Maybe middle-aged newlyweds.

My wife & I sleep about 10 miles from each other.

Clearly you've never met my ex-wife.

I was going to say 'whore' or 'trollop', but I guess 'slut' will do.

eh. The current DVD is beautiful and cheap.

I've no complaints.

I'm agog for a boxset of the 'Leprechaun' films. Filmmaking genius I'll tell you.
