Soundtrack Problem

I'm not going to review the film, since others have done an excellent job of that already. I will say that it is a classic horror comedy well worth watching. The main reason for this short review is to point out that the stand alone soundtrack included on the DVD, in a jukebox format where you can click on the song and listen to it, is flawed. The problem concerns the original LP used by Pathfinder Entertainment to record the tunes. All of the instrumentals, four tracks worth from the B side of the record, are full of pops and crackles. Now, wouldn't you have thought that the folks converting these tunes would take the time to clean them up? Took me forever to do it myself for a separate MP3 soundtrack. Seems they didn't bother to even listen to them after recording, otherwise a good sound editor would have taken the time to clear away the noise. Anyway, I just wanted to warn anyone purchasing this DVD for the soundtrack that the instrumentals have problems. Other than that, the DVD is excellent. May 9, 2008

Classic monsters, New Wave soundtrack!

A lesser-known gem! Classic actors, monsters, and a killer soundtrack! I had this film first on an Elvira hosted Thriller Video VHS tape, and was so happy to see it released on DVD and even happier to know that the entire soundtrack is included! Woo-Hoo!

If you're a fan of Creepshow, Hammer Films and 80's New Wave you must immediately add this to your collection now-I predict this going out of print sometime in the near future.

FUN MOVIE

I THINK THIS MOVIE WAS FUN, CREEPY AND WELL ACTED. THERE IS NO HIGH PURPOSE TO THIS FILM EXCEPT TO ENTERTAIN YOUNG BOYS AND IT SUCCEEDS BEYOND THIS IN THAT IT ENTERTAINED ME DECADES PAST MY TEENS. DON'T EXPECT ANYTHING DEEP OR DISTURBING BUT RATHER IT IS MORE LIKE GOING TO A HALLOWEEN PARTY. SPOOKY BUT NOTHING SERIOUS. February 23, 2008

Great movie!

I was very pleased with the picture quality of my movie. I was a little disappointed with the packaging though. When I recieved and then opened my dvd movie I found that the case was broken and the dvd itself was rolling around loose. The dvd seemed to have several sctratches because of this but thankfully upon veiwing the movie it did not seem to be affected. I am now a little wary about purschasing another movie simply because I do not like having to return items. Hopefully this will not happen again.

Blast from the past

I remember when i was a kid, we used to make fun of this movie an sing the song.."Monster Club is Lame" (repeat like the song does)..lol..anywho, after many years i started to get to like the film cause by then i was used to it and knew when to get the snacks during the dull session of the film..for example, the music..which sucks and some of the stories were pretty good and not so good. I got this film because i am a Vincent Price fan, even though, this isn't one of his best films, you barely will ever see this film on TV and its great for that Halloween viewing when there is nothing on TV. If you can get through the music...you'll be find. Rental only! May 17, 2007
