My collection of DVD's began years ago with the purchase of the Universal FRANKENSTEIN (1931). I saw it at a Circuit City store and had to have it. I
didn't even have a DVD player. For six months I kept the DVD without being able to view it. BUT I HAD TO OWN IT!
Now that is a FAN-atic... Bill Schafer |

HOUSE OF DRACULA is only available in the DRACULA LEGACY SET a great buy even if you already have any of the other films because of the extras. Now if the folks at Universal had any sense they could issue HOUSE OF DRACULA as a double feature with ABBOTT AND COSTELLO MEET FRANKENSTEIN.

Yeah I would like to buy a set like that and there's still quite a few other Universal titles (and Paramount films they own too) that they could probably have half a dozen or so sets more. I have in the past avoided buying gray market DVD-Rs (nice term for bootlegs) of Universal films because they had been issuing their catalog on a fairly steady basis so I figure I'll wait a while and my money would go into the proper hands but now all bets are off and it's every man for themselves as Universal has slap the face of it's fans first with limited Best Buy only DVDs sets of the past two years that many fans couldn't get their hands on and now to giving us zip. So if anyone knows of a good source for the missing Universal titles I'm all ears or for here it should be all eyes.

Yep, I don't blame people for going the"unofficial route" in obtaining whatever films they want. If Universal would rather this be the case, then
they've only shot themselves in the foot.
Trying to be positive though, just because we're not getting any further releases in 2008, this need not mean that Universal has abandoned theese old films FOREVER. If you think about it, it hasn't even been a whole year yet that we got HORROR ARCHIVES VOL. 1...

Well I went ahead and did it as I order up some grey market DVD-Rs of some Universal Horror classic flicks (including Paramount titles they own) that I've
been itching to see for many years. If the clowns at Universal ever get a clue and start issuing those old and missing Horror films again then I will gladly
buy them if I'm still interested in them when they do so.
