The horror, the horror!

Maybe I should clarify one thing: Whatever I pick, I’ll be alternating with the Mystery Collection–and with 51 more discs to go in that set, that will be true for all four of the collections. (One disc of mysteries, one disc of whatever else, and so on.) And, unless it appears that it’s a different-quality print, I don’t re-watch movies I’ve already seen, which means the Legends of Horror set is effectively a 30-movie set for me.

I would probably go for the horror, but that’s because it is what I like. I liked Mr. Golrick’s idea of just going in order, so you alternate what you watch. Or maybe just pick first the package with the least amount of movies you have seen already.

Best, and keep on blogging.

Bob: Well, this is part of an ongoing process–what used to be my “staying on the treadmill” routine (before we got rid of the treadmill, replaced by daily walks). *Real* movie watching (Netflix) is a little different.

Interesting start. Notably, Mill Creek has a *lot* of horror sets–”Chilling” 50 Movie Pack, “Horror Classics”–both a 50-movie pack and a 100-movie pack, “Nightmare Worlds” (more scifi/horror) 50-movie pack and some 20-movie packs. (As for cheesy, SciFi Classics was a *great* set–and also has some really interesting flicks in it.)

More comments? Different views? (Am I really up to Shirley Temple?)

Wow. I know that I couldn’t *plan* my movie watching so far in advance … but if I had a couple hours open I’d likely choose a comedy.

I’d do them in the order that they are listed. You start off light and fluffy with Shirley, get a whole change of pace with the horror, move back to light with the comedy, and wind up with a general potpourri. That seems like pacing and variety….enjoy!

Horror! I did my thesis on horror fiction with a side project on horror film. It was a fun project with many nights of triple-feature monsters and mayhem. (those movies are usually better with the MST3K robots making snarky comments, though).

I’d go for the horror flicks, but that’s just me. I love old horror flicks, the cheesier the better.
