My indie store (Zia) had all the Corman Shout! BDs on sale for $19.99 a pop and there were quite a few copies too.

The Slumber Party Massacre Collection is down to $18.49 (was $22.99) on Amazon for those of you who may care.

Well Pirana is a 1st day buy for me, but I'm embarassed to say I've never seen the others. Which is better Galaxy of terror or Forbidden World?

I enjoyed both of them, but Galaxy of Terror has superior sets and at least a semblance of a plot, plus a naked blonde being ravished by a giant, lustful maggot. The cast is a bit more interesting than Forbidden World, with Sid Haig and Joanie from Happy Days, but Forbidden World has the superior eye candy, and a higher sleaze quotient. You really can't go wrong with either one though.

It is a pity that PIRANHA is only 16 GB and encoded at a somewhat low bitrate of 19 MBit/sec. It looks like that they did just enough to barely get by. Adding more bitrate may have helped get this title looking quite stellar. All the same, I probably will buy it any way to give support to the company so that they might release more of our beloved catalog titles in HD.

Yeah he does that. , just ignore him and he tends to pipe down. I've upgraded plenty of my movies, so I guess I'm not a person per his analysis.
Just because Blu-Ray hasn't lived up to the potential that studios want (which I kinda disagree with, but that's another thread all together), doesn't mean we should settle though. If there is potential to encode a movie even as simple as this one, they should go ahead and try to give the blu-ray all they can. People would be a lot more accepting for the format (and not simply sticking with their dvd) and would consider upgrading. You see this a lot in foreign martial art films as well.

Forbidden Planet (theatrical cut) - sleazy, wet, peppered with some nice effects and surprisingly, a rather effectively built up sense of tension. Not to say the plots are all fully realized, or the set designs seem familiar (or the opening spaceship salvo), or the "hook ups" make a any sense - but I thought the work in the script and my interest in the story development gives the edge to Forbidden Planet. More serious of the two but it's still a blast. 4.0/5.0
Now I just wish Shout! picked up Inseminoid to complete the "trilogy" ...
