Never has such a comprehensive collection of great classic horror films been assembled in one exciting package, all for an amazingly low price! Includes Titles include Review: Great horror classics preserved in hard digital media - Although I had a good portion of these movies from collections I bought from DVD bargain bins, the price was very reasonable to justify getting about 35 new horror classics added to my collection. With the DVD market collapsing, I doubt that we will see such a collection of forgotten classics ever again. I finished watching the first disc, and I would say that 2 of the 4 films on it are considered great ("Carnival of Souls" and "Nightmare Castle"). Even the other 2 ("Creature from the Haunted Sea" and "Atom Age Vampire") have more than enough entertainment value to keep you watching until the end. Sure, the picture quality and the synchronization of audio is not 100%, but considering the target market and the budget, this is a reasonable tradeoff. The great thing about these forgotten classics is that I am discovering films that I have never heard of, and I would argue that they are better than the more modern horror movies. EDIT: Since I wrote my review, I've noticed other 50 movie packs being released which kind of contradicts my statement "we'll never see another collection like this again". Although I don't expect them to be as good as this one, I will definitely buy one or more of them. EDIT #2: I have ordered 2 more 50 movie packs: "Nightmare Worlds" and "Tales of Terror". It will probably be a while before I get to watch these as I am only about 60% of the way through the current collection (Horror Classics). Keep in mind, there are quite a few stinkers, some of these are not even horror stories (more like detective mystery stories). But there are real gems--if it weren't for this collection, I would have never seen classics like "Metropolis" (not really horror, more like sci-fi), "The Brain That Wouldn't Die" and "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde". Review: Great collection, awful packaging-- WORTH IT FOR A FULL VERSION OF CARNIVAL OF SOULS!! - I’ll start off by saying THIS SET IS WORTH IT FOR THE COPY OF CARNIVAL OF SOULS ALONE! This is an affordable way to have the complete cut of the movie in decent quality, which seems much rarer to find. I basically picked it up for that, with 49 other movies as “bonus features.” There’s definitely multiple other gems in this collection that make it worthwhile too. It’s a combination of genuine classics and extremely obscure varying-quality B-movies, that can make for a fun movie night by just picking out a title and seeing what it is. That said, there are downsides to this edition. This might be the WORST packaging for any DVD set I’ve seen. They’re in these thin half-open paper sleeves that have resulted in the discs being VERY scratched right in the box! They look like discs you’d question “will this play?” at a thrift store, straight out of the shrink wrapped brand new box. It’s 12 discs (and I DID receive all the proper discs, thankfully, unlike other recent reviews) with basically no protection against each other. All of them so far have played, but I have experienced some audio glitches and skipping that I suspect is a result of these scratches. If you want to keep any of these movies, you’ll have to order a CD/DVD case to store them more safely. The other downside is the lack of subtitles. These are barebones, just the movies on the discs. No special features or options, even the bare minimum option of subtitles. And some of these movies are so old/obscure that I couldn’t even find subtitles online for them. With the scratchy quality of some antique audio in these, you’ll find yourself turning up the volume to figure out what’s being said. Film quality, both objectively and subjectively, also varies by film. Here’s a few select takes on ones I’ve watched so far: Carnival of Souls: Excellent picture quality, just passable sound quality. You’ll need to turn up your volume to make out all the dialogue in the absence of subtitles. Still, it’s totally worth it because this is the COMPLETE cut of the movie, at 1hr 23 mins. Even the Criterion Blu Ray DOESN’T have the complete cut! (That version is cut down to 1hr 17 mins). I actually prefer the picture quality here to the overly-scrubbed blu ray picture too. This has quickly become one of my favorite movies since discovering it, but it’s best to watch without spoilers. Suffice it to say this is a great physical copy of it to have! (Provided you don’t absolutely require subtitles, of course.) Atom Age Vampire: Okay picture and sound quality throughout. Felt about VHS level, and therefore not spectacular but 100% watchable. No audio or video skipping. Movie has a mad science premise with a lot of potential that it doesn’t quite live up to, but is worth a watch. White Zombie: Excellent picture and sound quality (especially for DVD, and for an obscure film this old), BUT there were several places where audio skipped that I think are from scratches on the disc caused by their awful packaging. Content-wise, well, it’s the 1930s so there’s some unpleasant racial stereotypes. The plot is still suspenseful and engaging though, and influential to horror cinema and rock music (one of the first zombie movies, and the band White Zombie is named after this). Horror fans will also have fun recognizing the various reused sets and props from other famous movies that showed up here to save budget. Metropolis: BAD COPY. Poor, blurry picture quality, and an incomplete cut. You can find much higher quality, 30 minutes longer complete cuts online since the movie is public domain, so I’m not sure why this set even bothers with this (even disregarding the whole “not a horror” thing). Didn’t bother watching more than a few minutes to confirm what a poor copy this is. Nosferatu: Surprisingly good picture quality for a random not-officially-restored copy of a film this old, although the top and right edges of the picture seem to be oddly cut off (based on how the written intertitles are off centered). It’s not as badly cropped as other public domain copies of the movie I’ve seen, though. This is the version of the film that’s entirely black and white (no tints) and the character names have been reverted to the book Dracula counterparts. It’s not the ideal, officially-restored version/translation of the film, but it’s not terrible. I wouldn’t get this set FOR this copy, but it’s an okay “bonus feature.” Creature from the Haunted Sea: Audio is very muffled. Couldn’t find subtitles to add to it either, so I just had to struggle. Picture quality is sometimes too dark too, but maybe that’s just how the film is (a lot of old B movies weren’t filmed the best to begin with, after all). HOWEVER, this is the extended cut of the film, so that counts for something. This is a parody of spy movies and political thrillers, NOT a horror. The creature from the title is part of the spy/political plot. People familiar with early 60s spy/political thriller movies might enjoy this as a sendup of those tropes, or as a period piece of the 60s. Bluebeard: Slightly dark VHS quality visuals (some artifacting at the end makes me think this might literally be a VHS rip), but clear enough sound that I never needed to turn up the volume. Something of a crime thriller/horror/period piece combination, emphasis on the crime thriller aspect; it’s almost like a period-piece CSI or Law and Order episode. Not a brilliant movie but decently entertaining. House on Haunted Hill: Great (for DVD) picture quality and clear sound quality. It’s not the restored version for bluray but not bad at all! An EXCELLENT movie and not a bad copy of it to have. Black Dragons: Poor quality, “jumpy” picture that seems slightly cropped at the edges, and muffled sound quality. This is a WWII wartime thriller, not a horror movie. It’s not very good either, at least in my opinion, being boring, slow, and poorly written. The Vampire Bat: Clear sound (for an old movie), but the picture has a lot of film grain, blank spots, blotches, scratches, etc. I think this is NOT due to scratches on the disc for once, but instead because the master film used for this edition is un-restored and in pretty bad shape. I was able to find clearer prints online/public domain pretty easily, so this isn’t a good copy unless you’re dedicated to an intentionally “gritty” look. Decently entertaining film (a combination of a murder mystery and a vampire film!), and horror fans will once again have fun spotting recycled sets from other productions. The Screaming Skull: Video quality level is best described as “very early YouTube” despite the fact that it’s a 50s film. Poor quality in a digital crunch way rather than a VHS way. Furthermore, it’s widescreen aspect ratio letterboxed inside a 4:3 aspect ratio rather than just playing widescreen, making the quality even worse. The plot is a Rebecca-esque premise where a new wife has to deal with marrying a widow and moving into his spooky house. It’s not the most original, but it was suspenseful enough to keep me watching through the end despite the awful print quality. Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde: Pretty good picture quality! It’s VHS level, which is something given that this movie is extremely old and this isn’t a fancy restored edition. Silent film, so sound quality doesn’t matter. It does have accompanying organ music that I’m not sure is meant to go with this film. Some intertitles seem off-centered/oddly cropped but the acted parts of the film seem fine/not cropped or off-centered. Film was kind of uninterestingly predictable for me (because duh everyone knows the story of Jekyll and Hyde now) but film students and historians will probably like seeing one of the oldest surviving iterations of this on film. Nightmare Castle: I think this might’ve been literally recorded from a VHS, given some of the distinct “VHS glitches” present in the picture quality. A suspenseful movie with cool spooky mansion sets—seriously the mansion is beautiful. It feels “ahead of its time” in terms of some of the violence and sexual themes (central conflict involves both torture and multiple affairs), and there’s even some lines that seem to anticipate the themes of the much-later Hellraiser! It’s clearly dubbed from a foreign language, though. Invisible Ghost: Okay video quality (good VHS/early DVD level), slightly muffled audio, skipped a couple times (I think due to those scratches again). An interesting enough murder mystery featuring Bela Lugosi. One Body Too Many: Another movie with VHS artifacts! It looks fuzzy like a VHS too, with muffled audio. A “play” button even seems to flash across the screen in several places! At times the quality was so poor (especially too dark and fuzzy) to clearly see what was happening. Almost as bad as Metropolis’s transfer. The sound skipped a few times too, not sure if that was from the poor initial print or from the disc scratches. It’s too bad this is such a bad transfer, because otherwise this is a very fun comedy/horror/mystery set in a spooky house whose owner has an unusual last will. As you can see, it’s a mix of great movies, bad movies, great image/sound quality, and awful image/sound quality. You can’t really beat the price for the variety though, and you can always attempt to track down a better quality copy if you do find a gem you really like. I’d highly recommend this, provided you’re ok with getting your own higher-quality case. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 1,688 Reviews | ## Images ![HORROR CLASSICS 50 MOVIE MEGAPACK - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91zmiaczk4L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great horror classics preserved in hard digital media *by T***1 on October 8, 2006* Although I had a good portion of these movies from collections I bought from DVD bargain bins, the price was very reasonable to justify getting about 35 new horror classics added to my collection.

For me, the collection was worth it alone for the greatest silent horror movies together in one collection: Jekyll & Hyde, the Hunchback, and Nosferatu. But the real treasure (for me) was this edition of The Phantom of the Opera. He’s one of my favorite monsters, and this collection presents the original, longer version of the film from 1925 with the fabulous color scene at the opera house’s masquerade ball. True horror collectors will appreciate this along with the other hard to find drive-in horror shows. Don’t hesitate to pick up this set and start enjoying it! ## Frequently Bought Together - HORROR CLASSICS 50 MOVIE MEGAPACK - Universal Classic Monsters Collection - Abbott & Costello Meet the Monsters Collection [DVD] --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/2321906-horror-classics-50-movie-megapack](https://www.desertcart.be/products/2321906-horror-classics-50-movie-megapack) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-07-28*
