3 Classics Of The Silver Screen - Vol. 10 - Road To Bali / Basin Street Revue / Forbidden Music DVD

Advantages: Engaging Story Lines
Disadvantages: Lack of special effects due to production period

...From the genre of horror, these 3 classics can bring enjoyment to all those that appreciate horror of high quality. With the use of compelling storylines and gruesome images, the viewer is left always anxious at what would come next - that's how true horror began to develop. Through these elements, those who watch it forget the fanciful special effects that present day cinema offers and is taken in by this collection's creative brilliance. All 3 movies in this collection engage the viewers irreversibly by their clever plot lines and cinematic professionalism. "Little Shop of Horrors" focusses more on the "horrible" part of horror movies, whereas "The Bat" proves as having more of a psychological effect on the viewers. "The Bride of the Monster" is for all those who are interested in the horror genre as a whole - one of the movies... Read review

Advantages: A wonderful fantasy adventure for all ages a family favourite
Disadvantages: only a disadvantage to those that don't like musicals

.... They named her Francis Ethel Gumm and by the time she was 3 yrs old she was known as Baby Gumm and performing on stage with her two sisters. Judy did her first screen debut in a film called Starlet Revue at the age of seven. At the Chicago World fair in 1934 the girls name caused some hilarity and comedian George Jessel came up with the name Garland, shortly after Francis also changed her name to Judy. At the age of 13 Judy auditioned for Louis B Mayer of MGM and got signed for a seven year contract, she went on to make 31 movies with MGM between 1935 and 1950. For her part in the Wizard of Oz she won a Special Juvenile Oscar at the 1940 awards, which she later dubbed as her 'Munchkin Award'. It was gruelling times and hard work for actors of the day as the studio's owned you and to get the most out of you making money for them, they had... Read review

Advantages: A Bucket of Blood and House on Haunted Hill
Disadvantages: The Ghoul

...A Bucket of Blood is one of my favourite classics. An enjoyable 'Wax Museum' genre that takes a slightly different approach. This time, the artist is actually very slow witted and has no talent, as you will see. He works at a coffee shop full of poets and art buffs and wants so desperately to join their world. So, one thing leads to another, and, if your familiar with the genre, you know how it goes. House on Haunted Hill is one of the great classics of all time. A brilliant classic, but is it horror or is it murder-mystery. To answer that question, i would have to spoil it. So, watch and find out for yourself, you won't be dissappointed. Unfortunately, The Ghoul is probably one of Karloff's worst. Karloff is one of my favourites, but he doesn't really act in this one. The story is very slow, and doesn't build up to anything...
