But, just for the record, I thought '76 seemed really late. Trying to fit that date in with my age and personal history just doesn't seem to gibe. But the book says so, so I guess I'm misremembering. '76 sounds about right to me. I remember them turning up on shelves not terribly long before Castle became U8. Of the four digest taken from GoF and HoD, I only managed to pick up one before they started turning up in the new U8 plastic boxes.

I suppose it was edited well enough, but the print was far, far too dark. Had Castle stayed in business, they might have gotten a third 200 footer out of HOUSE OF DRACULA by using the Frankenstein Monster material which they left out of their previous HOUSE OF DRACULA cutdowns. I wonder if Castle would have been able to put out digests of the Hammer Horrors that Universal owns, plus KING KING VS. GODZILLA, etc.?

I have to say that each one of these is pretty good and cuts out all the boring parts of the feature HOUSE OF DRACULA. Castle really gets to the point I think. I loved collecting these in the late 60's early 70's. Still have a few. Couldn't afford sound so I made my own soundtracks witha a reel-to-reel tape recorder. Do you have a YouTube link?
