Yes, there are some very bad (as in awful) 1-2 star movies in this collection. A few, like SUBURBAN SASQUATCH and NIGHTMARE ASYLUM are nearly unwatchable. However, there are quite a few 3-5 star movies as well. I will list the 4 and 5 star movies only, as they are my favorites. <<< (4 star) >>> SERIAL KILLER- A sick, disturbing tale w/ a twist ending. THE CRAWLSPACE- A SAW clone w/ a killer called "the Director" tormenting his victims. HIGH DESERT- Psycho-biker, Frank kills without mercy, then gets what he deserves. WHEN HEAVEN COMES DOWN- Serial killer known as "the Savior" sends many to the afterlife. MATTHEW (aka: SCREAM BLOODY MURDER)- 1970s gore classic about a maniac dispatching everyone he meets! SLASHER- Decent story about a killer who leaves a gold medallion calling card. Unfortunately, the sound conks out 2 thirds through! WISHBONE- A hideous knick-knack grants wishes at a terrible price. Many deaths! THIRTEEN- Serial murders w/ an AIDS connection. <<< (And now, the 5 star) >>> HELL'S HIGHWAY- Lucinda, the seemingly unstoppable hitch-hiker / killer on a rampage! HELLBOUND- A woman attempts to bring her sister back from the grave. Bad idea! THE VEIL- A 156 min. zombie epic! Great stuff, especially the giant zombie encounter. INVITATION- A group of childhood friends are reunited as adults. Death ensues! TERROR TOONS- The madcap adventures of Dr. Carnage and his go-rilla cohort, Max Assassin. Bloody, ridiculous fun! DEAD 7- Meth dealers dump a dead body down a mine shaft, only to be stalked and killed! DR. SHOCK'S TALES OF TERROR- 4-story anthology, complete w/ daffy host! THE SHUNNED HOUSE- 3 H.P. Lovecraft tales combined into one twisted film. Awesome! I HATE YOU- Serial-killing stand-up comic sets out for fame and fortune (includes trailers and alt. endings!). SUMMER OF THE MASSACRE- Sort of a british TCM, w/ a gibbering killer named "Hammerhead" causing havoc! UP FOR RENT- 3-story anthology w/ necrophelia, a nerdy killer, and humor. GOTH- A girl named GOTH shows two wanna-be's what true darkness is all about. My personal favorite. These movies make this collection a bargain...

(Your mileage may vary...) I liked these independently made flicks. But I can understand how they might not be for the regular consumer of mass media. So buyer beware....

Watching these movies reminded me of a book I read earlier this year; "If Chins Could Kill: Confessions of a B Movie Actor" by Bruce Campbell. It's in part an autobiographical account of how he and his buddies (such as Sam Raimi and his brother) made similar independent films in their youth - such as the "Evil Dead" series of movies. It's clear from reading this book that making such independent fare is hard work and in no small degree something that they put their heart into. The same I imagine was true for the people who created the films in this set and the "Catacomb of Creepshows 50 Movie Pack" (I bought both).

I noticed that several of the other reviewers made comments along the lines of - "I could do this" or "My kid could make this".... My suggestion if that is true; get your stuff together and go for it! Who knows - maybe someday we will seeing a major blockbuster you made.

This seemed a good combination of movies, for a husband who grew up in the fifties and sixties. It turned out to be filled with amature photographers attempts at horror. It seemed like my neighbor down the street took home movies with patched up sets, and very poor sound quality and then tried to put it to video. My kids could do better with our video camera.

During Spring Break, I made the mistake of wasting $25 on this junk. The movies are home-made and extremely independent! There was only one or two movies I considered watching all the way through, but I couldn't finish them because of how dumb they are. DON'T WASTE YOUR HARD-EARNED MONEY!!!

BAD-BAD-BAD. NOTHING MORE CAN BE SAID. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY, NOTHING GOOD IN THIS AT ALL. SORRY I WASTED MINE.
