Phenomenal Outstanding if could give 10 stars – I would. First - let’s get the packaging out of the way. Perfect – solid heavy duty plastic Blu-ray case that is designed to hold 4 discs. Cardboard box very well made, thick cardboard stock, excellent fine detailed printing, smooth mat finish. Comes complete with a very nice collectors booklet too. All High Quality. Audio: Package lists DTS HD Master Audio 2.0 stereo. Well, it’s NOT. My (High End – Brand Name) 7.1 Home Theater AVR showed DTS HD Master Audio – but ONLY the center speaker had sound, Not 2.0… Maybe filmed in Mono and that’s all they can do… But, I changed the speaker settings to ALL Channel Stereo and was able to get 7.0 (No Subwoofer)… I was able to achieve audio that was good, dialogue nice and clear. Reading speed was equal to better quality Blu-ray disc at 2 to 2.1 Mps… So, audio: Very Good… Video: WOW…. Double WOW X2…. Remastered in every detail… Movies The Raven, The Comedy of Terrors and The Last Man On Earth reading speed was 25 – 28 Mps higher than normal Blu-ray… WOW X2 Tomb of Ligeia and House on Haunted Hill reading speed was 36 Mps (near 4K speed). So, I give Video restoration Perfect 10 Stars. Excellent Quality Picture… Only con – or Funny part… Tomb of Ligeia in the fox chase scene, cast was on horses running after the dogs, dogs chasing the fox…. Well, the dog legs look jittery and not fluid flow and the (bigger) horse legs looked like you were flipping through a pack of playing cards… But, heck – what can you stay… Still nothing wrong… Perfect 10 Star restoration… Recommend: Buy-It TODAY…!!!

This is a great collection of Vincent Price horror movies. If you love Vincent Price, and how doesn't, this would be a good start for your collection. It is so nice to see these movies on a Blu Ray because these movies came out before my time, so I never saw them in a theatre. Seeing a movie on TV, on standard definition broadcast TV, or from a DVD, is never like really seeing the movie. Watching HD video on a big screen is great.

This is another great collection of these classic films. The video and audio are clean and the colors are brilliant. I wish I could give it 5 stars, but the 2nd disc with "The Tomb of Ligeia" and ".The Return of the Abominable Dr. Phibes" freezes and skips after chapter 9, throwing you back to the main menu. I also would have preferred the colorized version of the "Last Man on Earth" had been included in this set.

You just can't beat the Price! The set is very good and the films all are fun and will add joy to any Price or classic horror collector.At around $8 a film the price is good too. The films may be second tier b movies but with Vincent in them the movies are entertaining and keep your interest. Vincent Price was the last american horror icon and watching him in these films reminds me of what a great artist he was. He was the high point of all of his movies he displayed great range in depth as an actor whether villan or victim you loved watching Price. Great time fillers and the extras are many and informative good set for the fans.

Im prejudiced . Have loved Vincent since first seeing him in "last man on earth" in 1966 at 8 or 9 years old and was hooked. He is my Uncle Vincent rest his soul as he always even while acting reached out to you to join him in his escapades without saying as much. The quality is quite good and the commentaries are very interesting, filling in and answering questions you might have about location or co-stars. Vincent was the last of a rare breed of actor. Horror was not his only forte and the comedic moments such as in "The Raven" prove that. I miss him terribly but at least I can have a marathon of his films vol 1+2 whenever I wish.

This second volume in the Vincent Price collection trilogy offers a cross-section of films from different studios, including Return of the Fly, House on Haunted Hill and The last man on Earth. The latter, based on Richard Matheson's I am Legend, has been given short shrift in the past, and that's unfortunate, as it is a compelling and poignant depiction of the end of the world as we know it. Return of the Fly is probably the weakest of the three "Fly" films; I would have included the 1958 original instead. The remainder of the films are sourced from Price's tenure at American International Pictures. The best of these, in my estimation, is the cult classic Dr Phibes rises again.

It is surprising how well these movies stand up considering when they were made. Also interesting to see what passed for horror 40 years ago! They all look really good, even the black and white ones. The Raven is comedy and at times really funny, while Tomb Of Ligeia is the class act of the Poe movies. The Comedy of Terrors is neither terror filled nor that funny, though all the turns do well, particularly Mr Price who always turned in a good performance. The Last Man on Earth is the first attempt to film Richard Matheson's vampire story, though we are still waiting for it to be done properly. Watchable, but no classic. However Vincent Price was always good to watch and this collection is one to keep and watch again and again.

Great movies and amazin picutre qualitay. Especial for the raven. I was stunned how great the picture quality is. Felt a little like watching the movie for the first time. A must for every Vincent Price fan. They could have pressed each movie on a single disc so sadly they put always two movies on a disc but the image is still amazing.

Awesome box set by Scream Factory! Vincent Price forever! I received the item very quickly. Great service Amazon!

Excellent, thanks.
