    sigh, more money to spend at Wallyworld. I've been meaning to get some of these on DVD anyways, and I am a sucker for glow-in-the-dark....

      It's a pretty cool idea, but those covers are really bland and uninspired and I wish the title font wasn't so generic looking. The last DVD covers were much better, and the VHS tape series were the best ever and have yet to be topped.

        I like 'em! Reminds me of the Illuminator kits. I have all the Uni-monsters, but I may need to pick up Halloween.

          I thought they reminded me of something, and that's what.

          Looks like they have DVDs and Blu-rays. Too bad I already have all the ones I want on Blu-ray.

          I'd really like that signage, I wish I knew someone at Walmart that could possible grab them for me after Halloween.

            I was really hoping to nab some of the compilation dvds they had out last year and was holding out for some post Oct 31 clearance, but my local store just pulled what did not sell and they disappeared.

                    ^An underrated film. We're going to cover that on Super Mates next month.

                      I dig them. But already have them on Blu. We just had a brand new Super Walmart open yesterday, so I was surprised to not find these there.

                        I just got back from Wal-Mart...seeing them in person, they are incredibly underwhelming.

                          You've called that correctly. I'll save those boxes long after I've discarded the tapes. I regret not getting a full set, though.

                            I love the glow gimmick. Especially on the Karloff Mummy. I'll pick up one or two, just for fun.

                              Saw these at Wal-mart, but I have all the Universal Monster films in the big blu-ray set, and most of the others on DVD. Tempted by Halloween, but it's barebones with only a trailer. I think American Werewolf in London is still on Netflix, so I passed on it too. No interest in Child's Play, personally.
