All of these releases are remastered and anamorphic editions.

The first two are part of Italy's GAMMA I Quadrilogy, which consist, in chronological order, THE WILD, WILD PLANET, WAR OF THE PLANETS, WAR BETWEEN THE PLANETS, and SNOW DEVILS.

Anyone looking for WAR BETWEEN THE PLANETS (LBX), you can find it on a double feature with CREATION OF THE HUMANOIDS from DARK SKY FILMS.

I haven't seen 'Green Slime' but I heard the super funky theme, I love it!

Thumbs up for Warner doing there best getting these films out there, I know a lot of folks aren't fond of the dvd-r format, but for a Giant Devilworshipping Media Conglomerate like Warner this is a pretty cool way of coming to the aide of collectors. They don't just do b-pictures either, they release silents and everything. Yay Warner!

MGM really fudged this scheme up, I was going to buy the 'House of Long Shadows' dvd-r (C Lee, P Cushing and V Price) but the reviews were SO bad. MGM's dvd-r's look like they were mastered from super8 sources. yuck.

FOX/MGM discontinued HOUSE OF LONG SHADOWS. I have a feeling it had something to do with all those bad reviews of its transfer. Not even LBX, from what I read.

if you are in the uk (yes i know this is bad saying this but) poundland has some classic sci-fi and horror movies including the legendary plan 9

What? Poundland? 'Plan 9 from Outer Space' is pretty easy to get hold of...
