I bought all of these on R2 some years ago -- zero extras, except trailers -- only to find R1's were sometime a bit more interesting (shock, horror). I don't suppose anyone has MP3s of any of these? It's not like I didn't buy the damn films!

I'm not sure about the others but I can't check right now... i'm in the process of moving so most my dvds are packed in boxes.

Pit is my favorite film of the three, but it seems like Corman was getting tired by the time he got around to it. The commentary is less interesting and even contains some errors, as I recall.

Last Woman on Earth My mind isn't working as I write this... Creature from the haunted Sea? Battle on Blood island? Not sure if I have these titles right, and too lazy to look on Amazon. But this set is pretty nice, not perfect, but has alot of trailers, and commentaries, and Last Woman on Earth in color widescreen. Carl

The commentaries, there, are by cast members, as I recall. Also, the prints used in that release are pretty terrible. Totally watchable, mind you, just not particularly pretty. It's worth having, if you can get it for relatively cheap. --- "The Dig" http://cinemarchaeologist.blogspot.com/

I watched Last Woman on Earth, and liked it, and I watched the Blood Island and liked it. I haven't gotten around to watching the other film, Haunted Sea. I didn't listen to any of the commentaries. It does have a good trailer collection. Carl

The Region 1 release also includes a prologue shot for the film's 1968 TV broadcast, using cast member Luana Anders. My first viewing of the film was in the Seventies, and the new opening sequence was no longer being used. (Don't think I even knew about it until the DVD came out.) For a long time, it seemed as if the Poe films had vanished from the airwaves. (Say about mid- to late Seventies.) Maybe as a result of later AIP/Price titles (SCREAM AND SCREAM AGAIN, CRY OF THE BANSHEE, PHIBES) having been picked up for TV? I remember being pleasantly surprised to stumble across GoodTimes VHS tapes of PIT AND THE PENDULUM, THE RAVEN and FALL OF THE HOUSE OF USHER at a Walmart one Saturday night (early Nineties, maybe?) and quickly snatching them up for a Price/Poe "fix."

Seems like I watch one of them every few months (and I am not big on regular repeat viewings of most things) and it's always worth it. Maybe Premature Burial will get a spin shortly (being that it's on the 2fer with Masque) -- I'm reading Reginald's autobiog "Wide-Eyed in Babylon" at the moment.

I realise it's not a Poe film (haha) but Roger is usually a good listen and I had fun with that dvd.

There were tentative plans to record a commentary for THE RAVEN, maybe with Hazel Court joining Corman, but MGM decided that the two featurettes were enough and decided not to spend any more money.
