Savant's new reviews today are

The Bela Lugosi Collection  Universal
Gates of Heaven  MGM and
Red Garters  Paramount

So this finishes the two big Universal horror sets from last week. There are reportedly some bad lots of discs out there. The most prevalent complaint is that THE RAVEN snags on the Lugosi set, and CURSE OF THE WEREWOLF and or PARANOIAC clogs up on the Hammer set. Hm, I feel like Wavy Gravy stepping up to the mike to warn people off the brown acid that's circulating through the crowd. The only defense against this is to buy the discs through reasonable sellers who will help you find a good one when it doesn't play ... maybe even retail, if you think web sellers are too slow.

Coming up, The Innocents and a colorized House on Haunted Hill. Thanks for reading, Glenn Erickson.
