Releases Reviewed:

Like many of the old public domain classics of horror, Dead Men Walk offers up a deadly number of releases for consideration.

There are numerous stand-alone DVD's, most of which are indistinguishable from the others, and at least as many more various combo packs that offer more or less the exact same thing.

I got mine in a 50 pack of “Horror Classics.”

Video:

1.33: There is no widescreen version. The video in this version is shaky (enough to be annoying) and washed out at times but is otherwise OK for its age. It has the trash and other flaws common for unrestored presentations this old.

Audio:

1.0 mono: The audio is fair considering its age. There are a few times when the dialogue is muddled, but I've certainly heard worse.

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.

Extras:

There are no extras of any kind.

Other Editions:

The only release I saw that stands out from the others is the one from Digiview because it is the only one that mentions being remastered. How much difference does that make for the quality of the presentation? I can't say.

Other than that nothing I read suggests that you will get anything more or better than what I've already described.

Final Thoughts:

The shaky video of the 50 Horror Classics set makes me hesitant to suggest this version for anyone specifically looking for the movie. It's tolerable if you're wanting a bargain box set, but the remastered Digiview DVD might be a better choice for more serious collectors.
