The region 2, PAL release of "The Quatermass Experiment" from "Hammer" is excellent. It includes a great 23 page viewing notes booklet. Why does "Warner" use those lousy snap cases for some of their "Hammer" horror releases?

Hey Ryan, I got my new PAL to NTSC DVD player and I love it. I just finished watching "The Quatermass Experiment" which is not available on NTSC, region 1.

I have many older "Anchor Bay" titles that play fine. I wonder if "Frankenstein Created Woman" was made with a bad process at the factory?

Has anyone had a problem with "Frankenstein Created Woman". I have two copies and both will not play!

You know what Ryan, I think I'll spend the extra money and not worry about if the cheaper model has everything I need! In the long run it's not worth the aggrevation.

Does anyone like "X The Unknown"?

I recently obtained the MGM release and it runs 84 minutes. It also includes special features which include the cut footage from the original. Some of the cut footage is without the audio portion however which has been lost. Still, it gives you the directors original scenes that were to be...

Does anyone know if the current MGM, DVD release of "Last House On The Left" runs 84 or 91 minutes? BestPrices.com says 84 minutes and Amazon.com says 91 minutes.

I have "Scream Of The Wolf', "Moon Of The Wolf", "How Awful About Allen", "Satan's School For Girls", "Maybe I'll Come Home In The Spring" "Born Innocent" and "Duel" on DVD. These are all I can find that are'nt bootlegs. Anybody have a source? One of the great ones I wish they would put on...
