The Blob (1988) / Christine (1983) / Fright Night (1985) / Seventh Sign

Christine and the blob and Night Shift or some of the most classic and iconic horror movies of all times I bought this because I am done with streaming and lack of content and libraries, despite subscribing to all premium services I quit them all and built a new DVD archive. This was a great addition. I almost forgot how amazing the blob is and how the blob itself is almost a slasher film.

Good childhood movie. the special effects arent good but special effects werent good around that time. good clean family movie

I bought this collection for FRIGHT NIGHT (1985) which has become a cult classic and one of the best movies of the 80s representing the horror genre. It is the modernization of the classic Dracula story perfectly retrofitted to set in the 80s. For a long time, I have waited for the Blu-ray format for FRIGHT NIGHT and I finally gave up and decided to buy the standard format DVD. Luckily, I came across this excellent collection.THE BLOB (1988): This is the remake of the original classic from 1958. On the 30th anniversary of the original, they released this remake. Although I am normally against remakes (or reboots, re-boosts, or whatever term they use these days to re-cycle an idea), I think this one is a pretty decent remake. It does contain some awesome special effects, sound effects, and editing. At times, it gets a little gory for my taste and it has some flaws but overall I think it is very well-crafted movie. Audio and video quality were better than I expected.CHRISTINE (1983): John Carpenter's adaptation of a Stephen King classic, CHRISTINE deserves more credit than it has received over the years. This is one of my favorite Stephen King movies and I think it is very faithful to the book. I love the old-fashioned special effects used in the movie. There are some very memorable scenes such as the one where Christine is engulfed in flames cruising down the street chasing her victim. I would consider this a masterpiece for its effectiveness.FRIGHT NIGHT (1985): I already wrote about this in the beginning. This is an absolute classic. Chris Sarandon's portrayal of the vampire was truly brilliant. He was charismatic, slick and humorous. I don't think up to that point, vampires had that kind of charisma. I love the fake vampire killer being thrown into a situation where he has to deal with a real vampire - what a marvelous idea for a script. I highly recommend this to any horror fan, especially to those who love vampires.SEVENTH SIGN (1988): Undoubtedly, this is the weakest film in the collection. It is not terribly bad but fails in comparison to other movies in the collection.Overall, $10 for these 4 movies is an amazing deal. Only Fright Night is worth the price and probably more. The collection has 2 DVDs with 2 films on each DVD. Unfortunately, there are no subtitles (or extra features) but DVD does offer English Closed Caption. Video and audio quality are better than I expected on all movies. I was pleasantly surprised about that.

Loved the movies. Exactly what it said it was.

I got this movie primarily for "The Blob," though I wanted to revisit Fright Night as well. Both movies looked good -- no extras or subtitles -- but I never watched The Blob due to poor reviews when it came out, and I can see I missed out. It is really a good movie, and though it is gory at times, it is always done for a reason and does not seem gratuitous. The premise is highly believeable. After watching Fright Night again I remembered what a good movie it was -- and how it was not really a great movie at the same time. Twilight Time put out a nice blu ray for this which is now fetching astronomical prices, and though it would be nice to see on blu ray, frankly it is not such a good movie that I would pay a collector's price to see it on blu ray.

Four great movies that I will be happy to add to my DVD collection.

Three of my favorite horror movies Fright Night (1985), The Blob(1988), and Christine together in one collection. Along with one that I never seen before. All of them are alot of fun to watch. Fright night, the campy 85 version is more of b-movie scarefest, while the 2011 version had a darker tone. But without the classic one, we wouldn't have had one of the best horror remakes in years. Speaking of remakes; the Blob(88) is reimagined version of the Steven McQueen film of the same name, although I haven't seen that one. I grew up on this and it's up there with The Thing as one of the best sci-fi horror movie. And it has legendary scream queen Shawnee Smith herself in a lead heroic role. Christine combines my two favorite masters of horror Stephen king and John carpenter together for a creepy spooky thrill ride as a possessed car goes on a murderous rampage. And finally The seventh sign is about the second coming of Christ. In a apocalypse disaster horror movie which is a little strange but the intense build up to it's explosive climax is very worth the watch.

Loved my movies, arrived quickly
