"The product description or this item says,



"HOWLING TRILOGY! 2 DVD COLLECTOR'S EDITION TIN! In this set, you will be spooked by three of the Howling Series, Volumes 3-5; The Marsupials, The Rebirth and The Freaks!"



The only problem is that it is not accurate. The set actually includes Volume 3, 5 & 6. 'Volume III: The Marsupials' is on a single disk (The Howling, Vol. 3: The Marsupials) and 'Volume V: The Rebirth' & 'Volume VI: The Freaks' are on a single disk (The Howling 5 and 6 (The Beast Returns)-V: The Rebirth & VI: The Freaks), as well.



This is actually a good deal as buying them separately cost about $16, and the full retail price of this set is about $13, AND it includes a tin case for free. So, if you need #3-6 like I did, then you probably won't be too upset when this shows up and has #6, and not #4. You will come to the conclusion that this is actually a really good thing after you spend several minutes discovering that you can NOT buy a #6 from Amazon without it including a copy of #5. So, if you are missing #3-6, just buy this set and a copy of #4 and problem solved."

A must have for HOWLING series fans.

"If you love the strange films of the HOWLING series as much as I do then you are certain to be delighted by this collection of three sequels. Parts 3, 5 and 6 are included in this collectors edition (you have to by part 4 seperately) and while they are not the best films in the series (1, 2 and 4) they are not the worst either (the disaster known as Howling 7: New Moon Rising). The movies come in a very impressive tin case that features the new artwork for part 3. The prints used for 3 and 6 are very good (although they are not anamorphic widescreen) and part 3 has a 5.1 soundtrack and theatrical trailer included. The print for part 5 is grainy and has a considerable degree of scratching and debris but it is certainly watchable. 5 & 6 have stereo soundtracks. Having loved this peculiar series for many years, it is incredible to find a handsome box set like this at last. I'm glad somebody decided to do a little something special for these lesser known films in the series. This is a great deal, very inexpensive and lots of fun."
