"I bought this since no one who reviewed it could give any technical details like what actual movies are included in this collection. I was hoping for one or two of the following, Not of this Earth, Day the World Ended, Attack of the Crab Monsters or The Undead. 'Course none of these are included.
Here's what you get:
Disc One:
Creature from the Haunted Sea (1961)-picture: decent- sound: decent, movie: really, really bad (one of Corman's worst)
Bucket of Blood (1959)picture: good, sound: decent, movie: good
Little Shop of Horrors (1960) picture: pretty bad, sound: decent, movie: very good
Disc Two:
Wasp Woman (1961 presented widescreen 1.85:1) picture: good, sound: decent, movie: good
The Terror (1963 color)
The Last Woman on Earth (1961)picture, good, sound: decent, movie:
Disc Three:
She Gods of Shark Reef (1958)
Swamp Women (1955)
Ski Troop Attack (1960)
Atlas (1961 color).
The picture appears to be decent to good (The Terror looks pretty washed out) with just ok sound. I'll add more details after i watch these "masterpieces.""
Low budget, high end fun

"Roger Corman knows how turn out a movie. Sure most are low budget and silly, but almost all of his movies have a fun quality about them that sets them apart from most of the 50's and 60's drive-in flicks.
St.Clair DVD collections are always well made and this one is no different. The films picked show a wide range of Corman's films and are great fun to watch. Well worth the price!"
Classic Roger Corman!

"Okay the elements used for this 3 DVD set are not in the greatest shape,but for the 4.50 + tax i payed at Dollar Genaral it was $ well spent,Includes the classics: The Little Shop Of Horrors,A Bucket Of Blood,The Wasp Woman,and The Terror,also included are lesser known gems:Atlas,Swamp Women(aka Swamp Diamonds),The Last Woman On Earth,Creature From The Haunted Sea,She Gods Of Shark Reef and Ski Troop Attack,the only gripes I have w/ this set are B/W versions of Swamp Women and The Last Woman On Earth,as these were originally in colour.there is also spokenvery brief spoken intos("St Clair Vision Presents") on Creature...,The Wasp Woman,and She Gods...,the first feature that's on each of the three discs,overall a nice collection of cheapies directed by Roger Corman.
