Quality below poorOctober 5, 2008 I own a couple of the movie's that are included in this set which were brought separatily.
These were recorded from old tapes or film reels (uncleaned) with continuous tracking line and graining. Not worth the money at any price. They are used the WOW factor to get your money.

Something to scream aboutJuly 5, 2007 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
A featured performer on three movies in the FRIGHT NIGHT box set is Enrica Bianchi Colombatto (better known as 'Erika Blanc'). Her Italian-made horror films from the 1960s and '70s are still highly regarded by fans of this genre. Another highlight of this collection brings together CHARLIE'S ANGELS Cheryl Ladd and Kate Jackson several years before their Angel days.
FRIGHT NIGHT is a decent collection of public domain shriekfests at a terrific price. Another excellent deal is the VAMPIRES AND MORE! 20 Movie Pack. It'll scare you outta your mind!

Probably the best cure for insomnia ever madeJanuary 19, 2007 0 out of 2 found this review helpful
Kill Baby Kill - this is atmospheric and full of beautiful scenery. A coroner travels to a small, "cursed" town to conduct an autopsy of a supposed murder victim. He discovers witchcraft. I think this was directed by Bava if I remember correctly. It's tedious in the extreme, though it does get fairly good towards the end, but still it's hard to sit through the first hour.
Devil's Nightmare - Some tourists are staying in a castle, and each of them represent one of the 7 deadly sins. They are killed in ways that play off their sins. Some are a little bit interesting. I think this had a long and fairly boring lesbian love scene in it. Overall, dull. I fell asleep about three quarters of the way through.
God told Me To - A police inspector investigates a rash of mass murders, and in each the perpetrator says that "God told me to". Not as boring as the rest, but the plot isn't believable at all and it's just sort of a big muddled mess.
Good against Evil - this is a '70s made for TV movie that was obviously the pilot for a possible television series. A couple fall in love, but the woman is controlled by dark forces and whisked away by some evil guy. Her boyfriend goes in search of her. Then it ends. I guess there was supposed to be a bunch of TV episodes where the conclusion was eventually reached. Pretty boring, though not as bad as some of these. Needless to say, the ending - or lack thereof, is a complete letdown.
Pieces - Well, at least this one has hot babes in it. A serial killer stalks a college campus, killing various girls. Not too boring at all, just low budget.
Kiss Me Kill Me - aka Baba Yaga, probably the worst piece of [...] in this collection, and that's really saying something. Some girl meets a weird woman, takes some topless pictures of her friend, goes to meet some guy and they chat. I turned it off at this point, I was bored out of my skull. Pretentious art film, if you can watch this you can watch pretty much anything.
I haven't watched the last 4 movies in this set, but I don't hold out much hope that they would bump my rating up. Overall, even for the price, this isn't a bargain. For the most part these movies are painfully boring to sit through, and I actually have to say that it would probably be more enjoyable to just channel surf through your cable TV lineup on any given night of the week than to endure these things.

i own a few of these collections and i like most of them. this one is a good one it has some good some bad and some that ,well you'll see. not a bad way to build your collection, careful these are not for the kids. if great transfers and widescreen is what you want stay away , if your not picky you may find some little gems in this
bcieclipse strikes again with more b thru z grade horrorJanuary 9, 2006 i own many of these set and the quality of the transfers is not always good but for under 20 dollars what do you expect. some good some bad and some that must be seen to belive. a great way to build your horror libary. take a chance and enjoy.
