Looks like Monsters HD is repeating that old trick exposed by Video Watchdog during the 90's: zooming in on transfers. And they cropped Godzilla Vs. The Thing!

Party Beach: Looks very excessive cropping. The IMDB says it should be 1.66:1 - no idea how accurate that is

Count Dracula: Looks cropped and slightly zoomed, so no longer true open matte - a similar case can be seen with the Wade Williams DVD of Bride Of The Monster

Flesh Eaters: Correct me if I'm wrong, but is this version of the film missing the Concentration Camp stuff - which I belive was put in by the original distributor (it's on a theatrical trailer) but was not in the original director's cut. Is there anything on the Dark Sky version not in the original theatrical version?


The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is annoying. Did the original mono track on the DVD suffer from the same missing sounds problem as the 5.1: I always go for original audio but I know a lot of folk only go for the remixes
