Icons of the classic horror movie genre, including Boris Karloff, Bela Lugosi, Lon Chaney Sr., Christopher Lee and Lon Chaney Jr., are all featured in the 24-disc DVD box set 100 Greatest Horror Classics (Mill Creek Entertainment). Two DVD sets; "Horror Classics" and "Legends of Horror," each feature 50 movies, along with a booklet with movie titles and descriptions. The notable titles featured on "Horror Classics" include House on Haunted Hill, starring Vincent Price, Nosferatu (1925), starring Max Schreck, Lon Chaney Sr. in The Phantom of the Opera, and Roger Corman's Little Shop of Horrors, starring a very young Jack Nicholson. House on Haunted Hill is the perfect Halloween movie. Set in a huge, mausoleum like house, several strangers are offered a large sum of money if they remain in the house overnight....and survive, of course. Vincent Price chews the scenery as Frederic Loren, an eccentric with a morbid sense of humor. The film features an eerie soundtrack, secret passageways, walking skeletons and the pesky problem with lights that go on and off by themselves, placing a few "guests" in jeopardy.
"Legends of Horror" features 20 selections from the master of suspense himself, Alfred Hitchcock, including his films Easy Virtue and The Thirty-Nine Steps, as well as two episodes of his classic television series Alfred Hitchcock Presents. In addition, Christopher Lee appears in several films, including Count Dracula and his Vampire Bride, End of the World and Horror Express. Lee portrayed Dracula is several Hammer horror films and, after Bela Lugosi, is perhaps the most memorable actor to tackle the role. With Halloween fast approaching, you may be considering a horror movie marathon to celebrate the season. 100 Greatest Horror Classics can provide exactly what viewers need, courtesy of suspenseful and fright filled options featuring the legends of horror.
