You
probably have the same question I did in reference to MPI's forthcoming two-disc
set THRILLER - FAN FAVORITES, which collects 10 of the very best THRILLER episodes at
a reduced price ($19.98): "The Grim Reaper", "Pigeons From Hell", "The Watcher",
"The Hungry Glass", "The Cheaters", "The Incredible Dr. Markesan", "The Weird
Tailor", "The Purple Room", "The Prisoner in the Mirror" and "Well of
Doom." The answer to that question is: No, they do NOT
include the audio commentaries nor the isolated music tracks found on the complete
series set. Therefore, even though this set represents THE absolute best classic
horror bang for your buck of any DVD released so far this year, the complete box set is still the way to go. So, unless you're looking for the perfect Halloween treat for that favorite young person in your life, I advise you to splurge, because you'll want these for Trick or Treat night, or run SUSPIRIA or HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL again and await the next Amazon
sale.
This is the 1,000th entry here at Video WatchBlog, which began almost seven years ago, like most things I do, on the spur of the moment on October 8, 2005. Since then, it has won two Rondo Hatton Classic Horror Awards as Best Blog, in 2006 and 2008, a fact of which I am very proud. It has been shamefully neglected since I joined Facebook in 2009, but rest assured I have pretty much been doing over there what I used to do here more regularly, and I've collected (to date) 3,450 friends or followers, which is somewhat more of an audience than I had here. That said, Donna is encouraging me to jump-start the WatchBlog, perhaps with another template, perhaps with another server, and make it a place where I can post useful paragraphs such as the above, and the occasional useless ones, and make it available to subscriptions, RSS alerts and such. So this milestone does not necessarily mark the end of VWb, but rather an opportunity to invite a new beginning or chapter. I will let you know once the decisions are made.
Postscript 10/9/2012: It was later discovered that this was actually the 995th entry, so never mind.
