Anyone seen this set from Anchor Bay?

Yep. Its just too bad I already bought most of those movies separately at full price. If you don't own any of those films, I definitely think its worth buying. City of the Living Dead is classic Fulci. If you're a Fulci fan, its a no-brainer. The House By the Cemetery is pretty decent too, though I think its one of Fulci's weaker efforts. Hell of the Living Dead is a cheese fest. Personally, I love a good cheesy film every now and then, so I get quite a bit of enjoyment out of it. Nightmare City has its fair share of cheese as well, but its actually a pretty interesting little flick to tell you the truth.

Let Sleeping Corpses is the best film in the set. Its a slow building, subtle film with some pretty eerie zombies. The film is full of gorgeous locations, and the environmental aspect that Grau works into the story gives it a more unique feel than you're typical zombie flick. Its most heavy on atmosphere and suspense, but if you're a gorehound, the ending should please you. It also has an arrogant chief of police character that you'll despise. Well, I despised him anyway...

Dead Heat is pure garbage. Its the only one in the set that I don't own, and I wouldn't change that. Joe Piscopo (I think that's the proper spelling) is so annoying in that movie.
