Who can resist a film with a title like that? Or Zontar, the Thing From Venus? Robot Monster? Voyage to the Prehistoric Planet? The Atomic Brain?
Clearly, I can’t. I love this stuff. B-films, especially scifi B-films. But I am a tad disappointed with this Mill Creek package.*
I recently received the set of SciFi Classics Collection: 50 Movie Pack, a 12-DVD collection, cover shown on the left. It turned out to be the same set I already had, just with a different cover, and a substitution of four films from the original lineup. Damn, that was $10 wasted.
Okay, I can live with the loss. The original packaged set (the “red box” package from Treeline) came with these 50 movies (as per a review on Amazon, with some alternate titles listed):
- The Incredible Petrified World
- Queen of the Amazons
- Robot Monster
- She Gods of Shark Reef
- The Amazing Transparent Man
- The Atomic Brain
- Horrors of Spider Island

- Menace From Outer Space (Rocky Jones)
- Hercules Against The Moonmen
- Hercules and the Captive Women
- Hercules and the Tyrants of Babylon
- Hercules Unchained
