I bit on the 2 pendulum box sets. They are all low budget independant horror films, but all recently made. hoping to maybe find a couple of gems in there even though alot of bad reviews, but for some like me that is a fan of cheap campy horror, figured maybe something i might enjoy in there somewhere. at $26 shipped for 100 films I figured what the hell. I mean come on, its a quarter a movie. now, if I could just get elvira to come by and watch them with me, open invitation to the mistress of the dark!

These have bugs in the lower rt. corner, and the transfers are much worse than VHS quality. To top it off, the compression artifacts are just horrible, bitrates are less than 2 MBits per movie....
It is very sad that more effort could not have gone into mastering these...
27 cents a movie?? Absolutely a rip-off given the above facts, and that's saying a lot from a horror-fan who likes these types of film.
DON'T BE DUPED and taken in by these sorry excuses for DVD sets.

Well I have a dvd collection past 2000 and I personally have really enjoyed:
Cult Classics, the 150 Cartoon Classics, The Buccaneers, The Pirate Collection, Drive-In Movie Classics, The Horror Classics, Sci-fi Classics, Ultimate TV Westerns, One Step Beyond, Sherlock Holmes, Best of TV Detectives, Nightmare Worlds, and Western TV Classics.
Don't let other members keep you from enjoying these fun sets. It's important to remember, if they put any more effort into mastering these, they would cost more than they are worth. I believe Mill Creek has found a happy medium.
These so called 'bugs' are not on every set, and they are just the company logo showing up for a couple seconds every once in a while, no more intrusive, maybe even less, than watching some broadcast tv. Yes, I wish they weren't there, but I have accepted them to enjoy the many hours I have from the Mill Creek sets.

I ordered this on 10/15. The email said it would be available to ship on 10/25, hope it comes before then.
As for the complaining about the picture quality and the "bugs" on the corner of the screen. When they shove 50 movies onto 12 double-sided DVDs, I don't expect Criterion Collection quality DVDs. Mill Creek makes some of the best cheap movie and TV show sets I ever seen.
I hope when the next Mill Creek sale DD has, they sell Mill Creek's 100 episode set of The Adventures Of Ozzie & Harriet that other sites are selling.
