Fright Night Classics 8 Movies 2004 Horror Movie Review

Unlike many of the budget priced DVD sets, FRIGHT NIGHT CLASSICS features one movie per disc. Thus, eight films = eight DVDs. There’s only a single clunker in this set—one of those “shot in a week” Philippino specials. The rest range in quality from not bad to really good. Film-to-DVD transfers of ST. CLAIR DVDs tends to be quite fine.


For the ultimate in fright films, check out the HORROR 100 MOVIE PACK. It’s a monumental collection of monsters, freaks and the undead.
