Chilling Classics 50 Movie Pack

I have many of these 50 Movie Packs and they are all pretty good. Typically, not all of the movies are great but some of them are and most of them are fair to good. This set is no exception. Definitely worth the price!

I've only watched about half of these films, but half might be enough. This set, like it's companion "Horror Classics", is a little less than the packaging and the titles might promise. Don't misunderstand though; it's still worth the low Amazon price for so many movies and hours of campy entertainment, just don't expect a lot of actual chills or fifty scary movies; you'll be disappointed as some of the movies fall more into the mystery or murder catagory.Whereas "Horror Classics" tended towards the black and white B movies of the 40's, 50's, and 60's, this pack leans more towards the color B movies of the 60's, 70's, and 80's. There's a distinct difference. Not being around for those old black and whites, I couldn't tell you if they were meant to be truly scary, but now, they're just charming and intriguing as a terrific glimpse into cinema's past. The movies in this set, on the other hand, seem to take themselves a little more seriously, but fail miserably anyway leaving them neither scary nor charming. They're more often just kind of annoying. And there are a lot more very poorly-dubbed foreign films in this pack as well. There are some definite gems, and again, it's all a matter of taste.One film in particular that makes this set worth the price is The Legend of Bigfoot. I'm still trying to cope with my mundane life after viewing this film. It plays out like a bad Disney made-for-television live-action wildlife film of the late sixties or early seventies, but it has even less point, a more annoying narrator, and an absolutely unbelievable ending. Most of this rambling 92 minute feature is crammed full of non-sequitur animal and nature shots from which the narrator draws absurd conclusions about the habits and whereabouts of Bigfoot.At one point in his horribly cost-ineffective quest that takes him from the north, to the south, then back again to the far north of the country, he runs over a squirrel. The next seven minutes of film are spent on the squirrel's little surviving friend dragging him off the road and chewing his head for nuts. When a vulture passes overhead (more random stock footage, no doubt), the little carnivorous survivor scampers off the road and hides. From this drawn-out sequence of rodent on rodent head-eating, the narrator somehow concludes that Bigfoot must also be like the squirrel and withdraw when danger is near (danger apparently being inept aging trackers with crazy theories).Be sure to stick around when later in the film, the narrator and his wife actually SEE, with their own eyes and a Super8 camera, the bright flashing eyes of Bigfoot on the sparse tundra of the Artic. That or it might just be a 1968 International Scout, I'm not quite sure, but then, neither were they. They ran away. And you definitely won't want to miss the ending when the narrator, mustering all his lifelong tracking abilities, sits perfectly still to be rewarded with not one, but several, coincidentally short Bigfeet all milling about aimlessly in the forest not twenty feet from him and his (apparently) soundless camera. Absolutely startling.With this kind of solid and obvious proof, I'm quite shocked that, thirty years later, we don't all live hand in hand with our hairy brethren. I've got a spare room. Why doesn't Bigfoot come live with me? Oh, that's right. Because after listening to the narrator jump from one idea to the next, each with more incredulity in his voice than the last, Bigfoot assumes all humans are absolutely inane.Buy this set!

I like this movie mostly because I grew up around Milpitas. My father grew up there. My grandmother still lives there. My father retired from around there. So I spent a lot of my impressionable years visiting Milpitas. And, from what I remember, a schoolmate of my uncle was involved in the production of this movie. It is great horror movie cheese. Grainy. Bad special effects. Horrible acting. Rudimentary script writing. If you are looking for T2, this is not for you, but if you are looking for great horror film cheese then this might be for you. I don't know, check it out.

I just ordered this, in Aug 2010, and got the paper box version with the blue skull, with nearly identical movie selection, but some differences, of which likely don't matter to me anyway, but interesting all the same. Horror Express with Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing is a good one, and there are some others that are okay b movies. What is funny is that I was almost deciding to order chilling classics again cause I was sure I didn't have it, this must be one of the older releases directly from 2005 and not later plastic box sets, I mean, all my other ones are plastic box sets of various 50 movie sets.AS AN UPDATE, I noticed my set of papered box doesn't have Virus with Glenn Ford, a real downer, I believe I was hoping to view this, and it doesn't have Alien Zone, of The House of the Dead, two movies I am unfamilar. Other than that, the Chilling Box set is a real nice set of movies, many I still haven't viewed and hope to soon, since I have been buying various other box sets recently, Mill Creek and non Mill Creek. By the way, Mill Creek is a top knotch company, they replaced a couple of scratched discs from another collection that must have been banged around at amazon.com, no questions asked. I also read that the so called "bug", which are mill creek logos, are absent on all 2008 and newer made material.

absolutely loved this set...BAD TASTE being one of my favourites....WITCHES MOUNTAIN..another ..to name but a few...theres no bad ones...just some better than others.....roll on the next one..

This collection is funnier than the comedy collection I bought! It is so cheesey and the effects & editing are so bad it is really funny! We roar with laughter at some of them. Some are just plain bad and hardly worth watching but there are a few real gems. Worth if for the chuckle factor but not if you want to be scared.

excellent all round package who says big things dont come in small packages this certainly does reasonably priced to buy

This box set had everything that I had wanted. I have watched maybe 6 of the movies so far and many of them are cheesy, just what I had wanted. This is an excellent box set for 20 bucks

not so chilling…but ok
