Not exactly something I'd buy. I bought Creature From The Black Lagoon & Wolfman, separately. I WOULD buy Creature, and it's sequels, as a trilogy.

Why they just didn't create a set, with Tarantula, Incredible Shrinking Man, Monolith Monsters, Deadly Mantis and This Island Earth, is beyond me.

It's DVD only.

You know these are DVD's, right?

Ummmm, yeah. And eventually, they'll release them on Blu. Are DVDs taboo here? I see them discussed on the forums a lot.

This is: "Blu-ray Forum > Movies > Blu-ray Movies - North America"


There is a separate DVD forum:

"DVD Movies
Discuss DVDs, not released on Blu-ray etc"

I don't think there's any reason to think this release means there will also be a Blu-ray release. I may have missed one or two, but I think all of these have been released on DVD before. Unless its claimed these are new masters, these may be just a repackage.

It's just a DVD repackaging. Why we're not getting more of these on Blu-ray, I just don't know. Didn't Universal sell enough or what?

Well, all they have to do is manufacture new copies of ten year old DVDs and put the in a new box to get this set. I think the legacy collections have been out of print for a while, so they weren't huge sellers.

Even just encoding Blu-rays from the old masters, if they are good enough, would cost them more money, and I doubt any of us would be happy if that's all they did.
