There aren't many funny, pre-Pufnstuf era monster movies suitable for the family, until one remembers the Munsters, who beyond their two-season television stint, made two feature films, albeit fifteen years apart. Both filmed in Technicolor, the vibrance of the Munsters' spooky lifestyle is most apparent in Munsters, Go Home (1966), far superior to the cornier Munsters' Revenge. A true '60s relic, Munsters, Go Home begins when Herman's deceased relative bestows him with Lord status, necessitating the Munsters' trip to England to claim his title. There, he meets other Munsters, Lady Effigy and Freddie Munster, whose jealousy results in frightening antics that only thrill Herman, Grandpa, Lily, Eddie, and Marilyn (with Pat Priest replaced by Debbie Watson). As the plot thickens, Herman faces other threats to the family honor with his classic innocent bravado. In Munsters' Revenge, a wax museum criminal circuit sends Munsters' imposters out to commit crimes, so it's up to the real family to solve the mystery. Different Eddies and Marilyns slightly spoil the family reunion's ambience, though ample physical comedy--for example when Herman's bee sting causes him to destroy the police precinct where he's being held as a criminal suspect--makes the film authentic to its original characters. Moreover, watching this double feature is an inspiring reminder of what props used to look like, like George Barris's Munster Koach, not to mention those that grace the entire Munster Mansion. --Trinie Dalton

5 out of 5 stars Great Movie.......2007-08-23

Anyone who has ever seen the old tv show will love these movies. Fred Gwynne is always great,as well as the rest of the cast. Just a great twosome of movies. Always funny. Good for the whole family.

5 out of 5 stars I really liked it........2007-05-14

I was pleased that the sender took the time to make sure the DVD was seated properly. If you seat the DVD down right no amount of shaking it around is going to dislodge the DVD. Which is the excuse some use when I receive one that is flopping around in its cover and getting scratched. I would order from this sender again. Sincerely Wanda Dixon

4 out of 5 stars Corn and horror?.......2007-02-17

Nostalgia can sum up the two movies here. You either enjoyed the Munsters or you did not. If you grew up with "them" you will appreciate the first movie. The second has less of Lily and Eddie is not the same character, ( Butch was in his 20's at this time if I am correct). All in all not a bad regrouping of the actors and characters. Take the trip down memory lane.

5 out of 5 stars Munsters fan from Oz.......2007-01-03

I just love the Munsters. I am glad they have released these two flicks on DVD. Corny but adorable. I wish they had more seasons but it seems to be that way with cult series'. They seem to become very popular years later. Can't beat them I say.

5 out of 5 stars Great set.......2007-01-03

This DVD package is a two movie set that gives us the final bow of the original cast of the Munsters. In the first film "Munsters Go Home", we see a movie that was released right after the final season of the original show. Although it has a few funny scenes, it is not even close to as funny as the original TV series. But the whole cast is there except for Pat Priest who played Marilyn in the TV series.
The second movie was made a number of years later. It is the last time we get to see Fred Gwynn play Herman Munster. Although the movie itself is not very funny, it is nice to see the original Herman, Lily, and Grampa. It's obvious that all of the original cast has gotten older, particuarly Lily. But all in all, it's a nice way to finish the TV set if you are a true Munsters fan.

3 out of 5 stars Below par.......2007-09-05

Granted, the selection of films is superlative, but the source material and the transfers are inferior. The worst part of the collection is the unending "trigger pause" between every chapter. After a while it become extremely annoying. The releasing company should do something about this problem.

5 out of 5 stars How It All Began.......2007-08-11

This collection contains the following classics...
Horror Hotel, The Last Man on Earth, Dementia 13, The Terror, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, House on Haunted Hill, Night of the Living Dead, Nightmare Castle, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and Nosferatu. Horror at it's finest. My Frightfest package even contained a Sounds of Horror sound effects bonus cd. This was a perfect addition to add to my horror collection.

5 out of 5 stars Wow........2006-01-08

This is the collection all us die-hard horror fans have been waiting for. It contains all the neccessaries that were hard to find on DVD before this (Nosferatu, Dr. Caligari, Night of the Living Dead) and some must-haves, such as Horror Hotel and House on Haunted Hill.

The packaging is unbelievable. As if the thick, tin case wasn't enough, they give us 5 DVD's (2 movies per) and put them in a foldable case inside the tin box. Very complex and fancy packaging.

I would HIGHLY recommend this set to any fan of horror, or any film buff interested in the roots.
