Releases Reviewed:
Like so many of these old public domain movies The Beast of Yucca Flats has so many different releases that it is positively beastly.
There are numerous stand-alone DVD's and at least as many more different combo packs. I haven't seen any that stand out among the others.
I got mine in a pack of 50 “Horror Classics.”
Video:
1.33: This is the TV standard “full-frame” (what you usually get with these very old movies) and is actually pretty clean compared to a lot of movie of this age. It's still a crummy image by today's standards, but it's relatively fair. It's grainy with a fair share of trash in it.
Audio:
1.0 mono: The sound is also relatively clear compared to some other old movies. It's still a crummy mix and quality compared to a modern movie.
Packaging:
This particular disc is housed in a cardboard sleeve contained in a Velcro-fastened box. You can read about the set as a whole in great detail in the Horror Classics (50 pack) guide.
This is the version that is edited to remove the nudity.
Extras:
There are no extras of any kind.
Other Editions:
All of the releases I checked out give the same specs (when they bother to list any at all) which is exactly the same as what I got in the 50 pack.
While there are 2 versions of the movie (one with nudity and one without – except for about half a nipple) the difference is so short that it doesn't appear to affect the listed run time, so I can't tell you which releases include which version.
None list any extras.
Final Thoughts:
I don't know why you would specifically want to own this movie, but do yourself a favor and at least get it in one of the multi-movie packs so you get a good value. The 50 pack is acceptable unless you are especially wanting the uncensored version.
