Horror Classics Triple Feature, Vol. 5 (Little Shop of Horrors (1960) / House on Haunted Hill (1958) / Horror Hotel)

Rating:
Summary: Two out of three ain't bad.
Review: There's always a risk when purchasing bargain basement DVDs. More often than not, you end up with scratchy, faded old prints and distorted soundtracks which make them hardly a bargain. However, there are some rare exceptions. Case in point, this DVD, which I bought primarily for Horror Hotel and was not disappointed. Apart from a few minor scratches, the film looks and sounds great, with nice contrast levels and a widescreen transfer to boot. Fans of the Vincent Price classic, House on Haunted Hill, will also be pleased. Both picture and sound quality are very good and it's widescreen as well. Alas, there's the ugly duckling of the bunch, Little Shop of Horrors, a scratched up, badly faded, full frame mess! Since I've never much cared for this film anyhow, it's not a big deal to me. In other words, depending on which films interest you in this package, you may or may not be satisfied.
