"I had first seen these two on some of those public domain 50 horror film dvd sets with crappy "transfers" and compressed to death. Well, suffer no more! 2k scans make these wonderfully terrible flicks look better than ever before. Love this stuff."
"Great pair of forgotten drive in slop. They both kind blend together, perfect for a late October double feature."
"70s grindhouse schlock. Just pure cheesy entertainment, with amazing transfers. Sit back and just enjoy them."
"Excellent work, another great addition to the Drive-in Collection."
"Crypt of the Living Dead is an unseen gem. It has the feel of a latter day Hammer. Vampires and an isolated island and some dumb villagers. Second film is about a scientist. I love these double-feature sets from Vinegar Syndrome. Pricewise, you can't go wrong, especially during a sale. I think I picked it up for a five dollar bill."
"Vinegar Syndrome's DVD release of "Crypt of the Living Dead" revitalizes this 1970s horror classic with impressive restoration quality, bringing new life to its atmospheric visuals and eerie soundscapes. The film's blend of gothic horror and suspense remains engaging, with standout performances that capture the chilling essence of the genre. The included special features provide insightful behind-the-scenes content, enriching the appreciation of this cult favorite. Overall, this release is a treasure for horror aficionados and collectors, offering a meticulously preserved piece of cinematic history."
"Great drive-in collection worthy of a purchase. Packaging and presentation are excellent for these movies on DVD. Highly recommend."
"crypt of the living dead atmospheric house of the living dead period piece reminded my a little of the Corman/Poe films. Picture quality is rather dark though"
"RIP to the Drive-In Collection."
"This classic Vinegar Syndrome double-feature DVD would be worth it for either title alone. The package is elegant and sleazy. And the films are well worth rediscovering. Viva DVD! A format many are only now rediscovering…"
