Customer Rating:
Summary: Fun to see it again
Comment: Such a great movie, and I really enjoyed seeing these great old actors. It is 4 short stories, all of them are interesting and well written. The best story is about a Home for the blind. Great revenge theme. Enjoy this movie, it's a sentimental favorite of mine. (If you like it, get Dr. Terror's house of horrors, and have even more fun!! That one really stands alone!)Very creative flick, loved it.

Summary: Vault of Horrible.- Bet you their will be an "Unrated Extended" cut , so get your wallets out.
Comment: Like all others I too am at the point of rigor mortis when I saw and discovered that we got the lamo Goosebumps version of Vault of horror.
Incredible that they know we out here are mad and they keep doing this over and over again.

Summary: Two good classics from Amicus
Comment: Two good samples of British horror from the 1970s. While I consider Tales from the crypt superior to Vault, both have some good stories. I must for classic horror fans.
Any one reading this should blame Fox for this package not getting 5 stars. The reason: the ending scenes of the first two stories in Vault of horror were indeed cut, most notably the first, vampire tale. This is really incomprehensible. May be the guy who was supposed to look for the original negative got the wrong copy!! I own a Vipco's PAL version which has the unedited endings and the finalle for the vampire short is really a great missing on the Fox version.
Some good things about the Fox version (despite the edits) compared with Vipco's include a widescreen format, subtitles (Spanish, French) and a generally superior analog to digital transfer. Interestingly, the total lenght of the Fox version is longer than Vipco's PAL version. I checked this after running the two discs on the same DVD player. The difference may have to do with the PAL to NTSC conversion.
Message to Fox: produce an unedited version of Vault and send replacement discs for free to those who own your current edition.
