Releases Reviewed:

If you thought The Monster Walks would have a monstrous number of releases I wouldn't blame you. I actually didn't turn up all that many (relative to other similar films, that is). The main issue is that search engines tend to think you couldn't POSSIBLY be looking up THIS movie and throw out returns like “Walk Away the Pounds” which might very well be more entertaining for some people.

There are still several DVD's out there, each one more identical than the last. You'll have more luck finding it in one of the many multi-movie packs with other campy horror movies.

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

Video:

1.33: There is no widescreen version. The image is messy being trashy, fuzzy, grainy, and otherwise rough.

Audio:

1.0 mono: The sound is distorted and marred by constant white noise with loud crackles and pops occasionally. It may take some concentration to follow all the dialogue.

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:

All releases list the same specs (when they bother to list anything, that is) which are the same as what I talked about above. There's no mention of remastering and no extras.

There is a Blu collection that includes it, but it is not HD quality. The high storage capacity of the Blu format is used to hold lots movies rather than higher quality versions of them.

Final Thoughts:

While the quality of the Horror Classics 50 pack is low, I can't find any that promise to be significantly better. At least with a big budget pack you'll get some better films along with it.
