Sounds like you got a great deal Bmeansgood.

Robot Monster - Great bad movie. Definite winner
The Amazing Transparent Man - Not so good, but Ok.
The Atomic Brain - Another winner. I enjoyed this one.
Horrors of Spider Island - Great stuff.
The Wasp Woman - Good old Corman flick.
Voyage to the Prehistoric Planet - Not bad.
Teenagers From Outer Space - Ouch. This one hurts.
Crash of the Moons (Rocky Jones) - Been wanting to buy the Oldies copy of this one. Haven't seen it yet.
Hercules Against The Moonmen - Been wanting to buy this one.
Hercules Unchained - Great one.
Mesa of Lost Women - Ouch.  This is both bad and boring. Suppose to be a classic bad movie.
Phantom From Space - Cheapie that isn't to bad.
White Pongo - Would love to see this again. Saw it as a child.
First Spaceship On Venus - Not bad.
Unknown World - Kinda boring, but not terrible. Neat idea.
Blood Tide - Good one. I liked this one.
THe Wild Women of Wongo - Haven't seen it, but what a great title.
They Came From Beyond Space - Terrible and boring in my opinion.
Eegah - A must see.
Santa Claus Conquers The Martians - Saw parts of this one. Andrew has review also.

Overall you have a very good purchase.

Amazon sells a set of 50 horror movies, too. The playlist sounds equally as mind numbing as the scifi set. I might just end up buying both, then locking myself in my room for a month to watch them all. :)

Thanks for the info, Bmeansgood.

Wow, all that for $30???!!! I want one!
Now my poor bank balance is going to get even sicker.

Oh no!  Why do you guys keep shopping on Amazon?  Deep Discount DVD has this for $23, plus free shipping.  Beware of Amazon!  Danger, Will Robinson!

Stuff like this puzzles me; They include the two Americanized versions of this film, so why not the Russian original? From what I've read, it appears to be public domain so they wouldn't have even had to pay for the rights to it. Having all three versions in one set would have been perfect.

Someone let me borrow what I believed to be the original Russian version VCD, but I couldn't play it on my computer. The original title I think was PLANET OF STORMS.

I've always had problems when trying to use Deep Discount's website. Maybe it's just bad luck. But I've given up trying to buy movies there.

I have bought both the Sci-Fi and Horror 50 packs. Great price for a lot of awful (and sometimes good) movies. They are from Treeline Films http://www.treelinefilms.com/eLine Films
They also have 50 packs of Comedy and Westerns. This is the easiest way to get this many movies without shelling out $5-$15 per DVD ... chris
