An obvious one: is it worth getting?

I read the list of what's one it, and there are some I'm definitely interested in.  However, I noticed that it also has Unsane and Creepers, edited versions of Argento classics (which I already have uncut on DVD).  I'm worried that most of the other movies on the collection will be just as edited, and if that's the case I don't know if I really want to spend the money on it.

I have seen a lot of people on here talk it up, though.

Some of the movies in this set just aren't available in anything other than the public domain versions in this collection, so it's really just a case of volume at low price. And another upside is that you may see in movie in this set that you really like and then, if you find a better version (like Anchor Bay, Blue Underground, etc.), you know you aren't flying blind by buying the pricier version.

But a lot of them are uncut, or as uncut as you're likely to find unless you raid film vaults looking for moldy prints, and who has time for that?  Well, Trevor, but then, that's his job and passion.

It's worth it, unless you are paying more than 20 bucks for it. I think Amazon is pushing it at either 11.99 or 14.99. You'll spend more than that on a bad meal. And if you hate every in the set, you can make some really cool wall art from the disks.
