Yeah you can, but it is more fun with the logo on it as were included in the original DVD release. They even had an order form to send off for more pair, which I did and have enough for 8 people. Good times were had by all.

I have thoroughly enjoyed watching this collection. The transfers are great. I have especially enjoyed Zotz!, The Old Dark House, and 13 Frightened Girls. All three were fun to watch and I think 13 Frightened Girls should be a camp classic. By the way, I could have sworn that I saw The Old Dark House in theatres presented in Black & White, is that possible? The transfer in the collection is in color.
I would like to thank Sony for including Spine Tingler - The William Castle Story. I have always been a fan of his work and have read his autobiography, but the documentary had many great stories from the people that worked with him that were enlightening.
I hope that there will be another volume of his early Columbia films and possibly a collection of The Crime Doctor, which Mr, Castle directed several.
Thank you again Sony and I am now awaiting delivery of the Sam Fuller Collection.

I had the previous releases too but the films on this release have been remastered and look notably sharper and all are now widescreen so not really a double dip for me.

I also like the set even though I already had the singles of the 5 already released. The 3 new films on the set (13 FRIGHTENED GIRLS, ZOTZ, and OLD DARK HOUSE) were never my favorites, but they're cool to have. The episodes of GHOST STORY/CIRCLE OF FEAR were also a treat and I hope someday they release the entire season even though there are really only a handful of really good episodes. The SPINE TINGLER documentary bonus disc is terrific and worth double-dipping for.

I agree with this. I did the double dip also due to the remastering of the transfers and the additional three films. But the doc on William Castle was almost worth the entire price.

Please tell the powers that be that this is a great set and I do appreciate it. I am expecting the Film Noir set in the mail today and I know that it will be up the Sony's great standards. Keep up the great work.
