Thrillers from the Vault 8-Film Collection (Mill Creek)

I own two of those.

Pillow of Death is the complaint about the Lon Chaney set. It’s clearly a bad master. That is Universal’s fault. Even on the Universal DVD, that one looked really bad. I suspect a source issue. The Eureka release isn’t a better scan, they just brightened it and upped the contrast digitally. Personally I think it looks worse, washed out, but if you prefer it, you can replicate the Eureka look by messing with your tv and doing the same thing they did.

I dream of Jeanie could look better. I suspect there are source issues at play here as well but it is admittedly less clear. Compression is at play. Still it generally looks pleasing to me, and 130 episodes of TV for 30 bucks is such a steal that I am still happy.

Maybe I have bad taste, however, I find mill creeks blu rays to be excellent value, and generally passable to excellent visually.

To each their own
