The Invisible Ghost offers a hauntingly massive mountain of similar buying options.
There are a few stand-alone DVD options including a “Collector's Edition” that does not list anything that makes me think it is any more ideal for collectors than any of the rest. There are a number of multi-movie packs that include this title.
I'll be telling you about my 50 pack of "Horror Classics."
Video:
1.33: There is no widescreen version. The quality is typical for these old black and white movies. It shows its age, but I've seen much worse. It's pretty grainy and has some trash.
Audio:
1.0: Yes, this is genuine mono sound. It's good enough to understand the dialogue, but that's about the best I can say about it.
Packaging:
This particular disc is housed in a cardboard sleeve contained in a Velcro-fastened box though it's been repackaged in plastic. 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:
None of the comments I've read suggest that you will get anything more for your money than what I've already described. They all list the same specs, none mention any remastering, and none list any extras. Even the "Collector's Edition" doesn't appear to have anything that sets it apart from the others.
Final Thoughts:
Get it wherever you find the best deal. It's not worth a lot of effort, and you're getting virtually the same thing no matter which package you snag as far as I can tell. My choice is the 50 pack because of the value it offers. The quality of the presentation is acceptable even if it's not impressive.
