I remember when I first saw them on the rack at Wal-Mart and couldn't believe that something so incredibly awesome could actually exist. Legend, oh legend, the third wheel legend...always in the way.

For as awful as van helsing was, im so glad that its release gave us these wonderful collections

I haven't seen Lon Chaney Jr. in any of the Invisible Man films.

May 19 12 8:14 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I didn't get my first until late 2010 and then all of them eventually in 2011 via Amazon. I'm with Hal...they are a go to collection for me (all of them really). I also was awed when I saw that they were released back in 2004. I was a total VHS guy back then and didn't have a DVD player, so it took a while, but I eventually got them, and can't say I'd ever made a better purchase. I hope those who are still looking for them can find them available.

May 19 12 8:17 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I was just thinking that if Universal really wanted to celebrate their anniversary and their legacy (pun intended) as a horror studio, it would be great to re-package these in a re-release, same sets of films, but with fresh packaging, on better quality DVD's (some have complained about the type of DVD used for these, some have failed, but fortunately mine have stayed solid), with all the extras, maybe some new ones, maybe some new commentaries on some of the other films (like the House films for example). I'm sure someone who does great commentaries like our own Tom Weaver might be available. Then re-do the Lugosi collection and then do up a brand new collection just for the anniversary of the lesser known Universal horror films.

Had a good look at this today in HMV ~ it's a single release of 1933's INVISIBLE MAN, but carries Lon Chaney Jr's name prominently on the front cover.
