"I will not go into reviewing the content of the movies themselves, but rather the quality of the DVD.



AMC Monsterfest is a known name, so I expected a little better quality.

The video looks OK. It is definitely watchable, but I have seen clearer transfers.



The audio in White Zombie fluctuates a little in volume.



The audio in the Ape Man is a bit muffled.



The devil Bat is the best transfer on here-both visual and audio.

The last 7 minutes or so of the Human Monster has no audio. It just cuts out, and does not come back. I have not seen any other version of this movie, so I am not sure if this is normal because of the age and condition of the film.

That is the major complaint with this DVD.

The creepy music on the menu screens is very cool.

For less than $10, it is probably worth it.



There are so many Bela Lugosi collections to choose from, you just don't know which are the better ones to get. How many times are you willing to buy the same movies to find out?"

A.m.c. monsterfest should be ashamed of themselfs for this j

"i was given this as a present,and though that with the a.m.c. movie channel name the transfers would be at least ok,no such luck. these are the worst transfers i have ever seen. stay away from these, you can find all these movies in other collections, and they look much better. sahme on you a.m.c."
