Releases Reviewed:

Being an old public domain film The Monster Maker naturally has an incomprehensible number of various releases available.

You'll go mad trying to sort through all the various stand-alone DVD's not to mention all the multi-movie packs floating around out there.

My copy came with a pack of 50 “Horror Classics.”

Video:

1.33: There is no widescreen version. The picture does get shaky sometimes, but it’s not all that bad for an unrestored movie of this age. It has the typical trash and such.

Audio:

1.0 mono: The sound has some skips and pops plus the standard white noise, but while annoying they aren’t so bad that they spoil the movie.

Packaging:

This particular disc is housed in a cardboard sleeve contained in a Velcro-fastened box (more recently 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:

As usual there is nothing significant to set one release apart from any others. They all list the same specs (the same as those laid out above), the same run time, and the same lack of any extras. None mention being remastered, and I have yet to see any positive comments on the quality of any release.

Final Thoughts:

Go with whatever deal you find. The Horror Classics 50 pack is a good bargain if you want 49 other movies.
