I've finally figured out how studio execs select titles for a 2-pack:
They look at my wish list.
They look at my "owned" list.
They select one from each.
Never fails....

I probably won't double dip on any of them. I did that before thinking I would sell or trade the duplicates, but I couldn't find any place that would give me more than a buck or two for them. I will be getting "House of Wax/Thing" though, as I missed both of those.
Great find. Thanks.

You can replace the question marks with The Wizard of Oz and Arsenic and Old Lace, respectively. Also, these are coming out on 10/12, not 10/21.

Just to add to the bargain, I'll make the observation that WB's House of Wax DVD actually has two films: House of Wax and Mystery of the Wax Museum. So, the House of Wax / Thing From Another World combination is an even sweeter deal because it's got 3 good old horror movies.

Though single disks of Singin' in The Rain, and Casablanca are
oop they do show up at places like Costco. Perhaps Warners has a bunch of these in their warehouse and this is way of getting rid of them. I am sure many were returned to Warners when the 2 disc special editions came out. In any case we will find out in October when these are released.

I would assume they're selling the older Casablanca since the SE goes for so much but I've seen (and purchased) the Singin' in the Rain SE at Sam's Club for only $12 so it's possible that it's the one in the set.
