This collection has terror/"horror" films dating from the 1930's B&W up to 1980's. I use the term "horror" loosely here because some of the horror may be simply the appearance of a guy in a rubber suit for a few seconds or some shadowed figure commiting horrible acts behind drapery. However, if you have not seen samples of horror/terror movies of the early days of cinema, I would highly recommend this boxed-set; especially at the low price here. There are some notable actors such as Bela Lugosi and Todd Slaughter (from days of old) that appear in more than one of the films. The older films seem to move quickly. The Sadist will make your skin crawl despite it's black and white, 1950's feel. There are also some Giallo films in this set (the Night Evelyn... and some Barbara Steele in Europe flicks), but no modern slashers like Friday the 13th or Elm Street.
Definitely worth buying and watching if you have seen alot of new stuff and are hungry for some a slice of terror from the past. |

The box-sets from Mill Creek has taken a unfortunate change. It is still public domain films, the transfers has no become any better, and there is still no extras to speak of! But Mill Creek obviously find it important anyway to make their ugly logo pop up WITHIN THE MOVIES from time to time!!!
What the hell is the point! Am i suddenly a suspect for piracy? I actually paid full price for this! It's PD stuff, and you guys added nothing but a menu, so what are you really trying to protect?!
This box still gets two stars though. Because i do like the concept, and there is some excellent titles included like THE MANSTER, THE HEAD and THE SADIST. |

I bought this the other day at a Half Price Books. I don't know if they have this store outside of the Pittsburgh area, but its great. Anyhow, I already own a couple of these collection, the first being the "Chilling" one. I should have gotten this one first. Why? The movies on this collection are the best! Most of these are from the thirties through the fifties, with only a couple from the seventies! Also, a few of these films are silent, and I love the silent age.
I'm a big B Movie buff, but my taste seems to wan in the seventies, with the exception of just a few titles. This collection was much more in line with the type of B Films that I look for. Oh! There's a good Japanese flick in here too!
If you're debating between this and the "Chilling" collection, get this. That is, unless you prefer the seventies and eigthies style of B Film. |
| 50 Terror Movies of Public Domain Goodness | 2008-06-10 | 5 / 5 |

Tales of Terror is a collection of 50 scary movies that only have one thing in common: they are all public domain and as such it is possible for them to be presented in highly affordable collections. I paid $19.98 for my set and that comes down to about 40 cents per movie. The way that movie tickets cost nowadays, you really cannot complain about this collection.
An added bonus of this collection is the fact that many of these movies are not available on other public domain collections.

The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari
Crimes at the Dark House
The Head

| Really awful print quality on most of these films. Lousy soundtracks too. I cannot recommend purchasing it. |
