Three titles on two discs tonight ... with a lot of good genre product coming out, there are going to be a lot of MGM reviews around here soon.

The Oblong Box and Scream and Scream Again is a Midnite Movies double bill and presents two beautiful anamorphic-enhanced horror thrillers at an irresistable low price. The movies themselves are a mixed bag: a late-60s Gothic tale with Vincent Price and Christopher Lee, and a crazy mixed up stew of spies, cops, and mad surgery featuring Price, Lee, and Peter Cushing in sketchy parts. Both titles look better than ever.

Also from MGM is the single-title release of Dan O'Bannon's comedy gorefest, The Return of the Living Dead. It's far too gross for mom and the kids, but has an underlying streak of macabre fun that's hard to resist for us confirmed horror addicts. And horror comedies that work at all, are a rare breed indeed.

It's plenty hot here ... thanks for the fun, and Savant will be back with more, probably on Sunday. Glenn Erickson
