house on haunted hill is one of the weaker copies not even centered in the screen and the same with the devil bat. very grainy picture. the top of thehouse on haunted hill even haspart of the tracking code showing at top
they are classics but quality isn't what it should be,Echo Bridge should be ashamed for releasing it.
A mixed bag
Oh, where to begin? The price is certainly right on this collection, and if you're a fan of old horror films, or are just looking for some oddities, it's money well spent. That being said, caveat emptor. I think the folks who compiled this two-disc set were being overly generous when they declared these films "Cult Classics." What you actually have here are some semi-decent prints of a handful of great movies and a few giant turds that will leave you scratching your head. Nine of the ten films presented here are in black-and-white, so if you're color-biased be forewarned.
The good? House on Haunted Hill, The Last Man on Earth, Night of the Living Dead, Little Shop of Horrors, Carnival of Souls, and White Zombie. All had decent prints, although some were a little scratchy. Sound was decent in most cases, only dipping low on occasion without ever actually cutting out, and there was no tinniness or scratching that stood out to me. These are all genuinely classic films...
