Mill Creek Appreciation topic.

I dig Mill Creek; they're the anti-Criterion

I have:
Cult Classics 20 pack (featuring Reefer Madness!)
Chilling Classics 50 pack
Drive In Classics 50 pack
Gore House 12 pack (which includes They Saved Hitler's Brain for some reason)
Horror Classics 50 pack - this one is my favorite; it has Nosferatu, Metropolis, Phantom of the Opera, Last Man on Earth and Carnival of Souls, mixed in with several movies that ended up on MST3K

Helpful Hint!

If you're looking for one of the older 50 movie packs try searching Amazon or other sites for 'TreeLine 50 Movie Packs'. That's what Mill Creek was called when they first started producing these collections.

So thats why My 50 horror pack has tree line logos at the start of each disc. But the case says Mill Creek on it.

I think when budget-conscious Mill Creek reprints these packs they changed their logo on the packaging but didn't bother with spending the bucks to change it on the discs. The Mystery 100 Pack I just got that was released fairly recently by Mill Creek but still has the TreeLine logo on the discs I've seen so far.

Also on another note the stuff they released that was owned by BCI before still has the BCI logo. Kinda lazy if you ask me.

A friend of mine left a 50 pack of Mill Creek Chilling Horror Classics at my house over a year ago. While there has been some borderline unwatchable stuff in there I did from a gem in Bad Taste. Hard to believe the guy in charge of this horror/comedy directed the Lord of the Rings triology.

Have you ever seen Braindead/Dead Alive bob? its like Bad Taste on steroids.

Yeah... I'll never forget Dead/Alive. I was a little hungry when I started watching it. About half way through it I lost my appetite. It returned two hours later.

Oh yeah, I have the Cult Classics 20 Pack as well...good stuff!

Nice to see. I'm not a big fan of the Pure Terror pack not because of the movies but rather I tend to watch these before going to bed and the greater compression doesn't work so well on my older dvd player there.

INPO, I have....
DRIVE-IN CLASSICS (50)
HORROR CLASSICS (50)
PURE TERROR (50)
SCI-FI CLASSICS (50)
GOREHOUSE GREATS(12)
UNDEAD CINEMA (20)

-----AND------

TV WESTERN CLASSICS (150 episodes)

Twenty cents per movie; that's a nickel cheaper to own them that it was to see some of them as a child.
