Not as catchy a label as "Midnight Movies" ("Cult Camp" sounds kinda silly), but I welcome some of the titles - particularly The Giant Behemoth, which I had on Super 8 as a child; 4 minutes of giant dinosaur goodness!

"Historical Epics (Colossus of Rhodes, The Prodigal and Land of the Pharoahs)."
Can't wait! Land of the Pharoahs is a gem. A very young Joan Collins establishes her bitch persona in this over-the-top Howard Hawks look at the building of the Great Pyramid. Believe it or not, William Faulkner is one of the credited screenwriters. The ending is amazing, with its look at how the pyramid gets sealed forever - and Joan gets her final reward.

Excellent, although it makes you wonder how something like The Giant Behemoth or Land of the Pharoahs qualifies as "camp"!
Bit disappointed that it's Queen of Outer Space in Set One, rather than Frankenstein 1970 which Warner indicated was slated for a release.

According to DVDTimes, six of these films (the ones in the "Sci-Fi Thrillers" and "Historical Epics" sets) will come with audio commentaries. Right now, I'm thinking about picking up the first two sets, but I haven't decided yet.

Surprised to hear that some of these will have commentaries! Especially with Tom Weaver being one of the commentators (Who I've always wanted to hear more from since his track on The Wolf Man)
This past sunday night, I checked out Hot Rods to Hell on TCM. Quite fun, I must say. Looks like I'm gonna be adding these sets soon.

I'll happily nab all of these next week. They look fun and I'm a huge fan of old-school cheese flicks. I've never actually seen any of them, which is actually a major selling point for me. I love discovering gems I didn't know about.
