CreepTales now has a few different DVD options popping up (when I bought it there was one and only 1 option).

You can get it as its own monster, a stand-alone DVD (actually a DVD-R according to the product description). You can also get it as a part of the “Afraid of the Dark” 4 pack or the “Night Chills” 10 pack.

What I'll talk about is the Night Chills 10 pack. Most of the movies in the pack aren't very good, but to me it was worth the purchase just to have CreepTales!

Video:

1.33: I doubt this was filmed in widescreen so this is probably the original ratio. The quality doesn't look all that much better than my old VHS pirate copy with some blemishes in the picture and an overall low-budget look.

Audio:

1.0 mono: The audio is just barely clear enough to not be annoying except for the “Halloween Night” segments which are so muddled they can be hard to understand. I figure if you're looking for Blu-ray quality movies with HD sound then you wouldn't be reading reviews on low-budget B movies in the first place.

Packaging:

The set has each disc in a multi-tray plastic case. You can read more details about the whole set in the Night Chills (10 pack) guide.

Extras:

There are no extras of any kind.

Other Editions:

The stand-alone DVD offers few details, but at least one reviewer says that the quality is no better than VHS. So even if you don't want the movies in the multi-movie packs either one is cheaper than buying this DVD and you get additional movies along with it (even if they are crappy ones).

Likewise, the Afraid of the Dark collection offers few details on its specs but appears to be the exact same presentation as all the rest. Broken Skull from this collection is also offered on Night Chills. None of the sets offer any extras at all.

Final Thoughts:

Do you want 3 additional movies or 9? Both are cheap offerings. Get one of those packs if you're hunting down CreepTales.
