Not Bad However...
This set containing six of Dimension's Children of the Corn entries (CotC is owned by Anchor Bay and 2 was held but never released on DVD by Paramount. CotC: Genesis is not included here.) and three of Halloween sequels (1, 4, and 5 are owned by Anchor Bay and 2 and 3 are owned by Universial.) is a good set for those of you wanting a majority of sequels and who want to save space on your shelves. All 9 films come on three discs; two are flippers while CotC 5,6, and 7 are on one single sided, dual layer disc. (Why Echo Bridge chose to not to do this with CotC 2,3,and 4 and the three Halloweens is anyone's guess.) and come in one case that holds all three discs on a single hub. The aspect ratios for the CotC titles are correct (2 is Full Screen and 3-7 run a gannet of 1:85 to 1:77 which I believe to be true. 2 was a direct to video sequel before the advent of widescreen televisions so the 4:3 aspect is probably correct.). It's with the Halloween titles where we run into problems...
So much for so little
This is awesome. It has 9 films...for the price of 1. I recommend this to everyone that loves horror. It's amazing.
3-Disc DVD Set for Children of the Corn & Halloween Sequels
This DVD value pack is priced right to own 6 Children of the Corn films with 3 Halloween films. Children of the Corn 2-7 and Halloween 6,7,8 are included. Some of the films are wide-screen and others are full-screen (many of the CotC sequels were released direct to video). Children of the Corn was based on a short story by Stephen King. Halloween is a legendary slasher film directed by John Carpenter. Both films managed to birth horror franchises with many sequels (neither of the original films are included in this set). Children of the Corn is light horror fare and Halloween is legendary for Mike Myers. Admittedly these Halloween sequels are probably the worst of that franchise but you can't beat the price. There is also a Children of the Corn 4 Film Series [Blu-ray] with only four CotC movies included. Halloween I, II and III have deluxe Blu-ray releases (also sold separately).
