Masters of Horror: The Ultimate Shockumentary Collection | R4 |
Dario Argento: An Eye for Horror Also available on Umbrella Entertainment’s releases of World of Horror (Dario Argento's) (1985), 2-disc special edition of Suspiria...and Deep Red. Mario Bava: Maestro of the Macabre Available on Masters of Terror - Vol. 1: Mario Bava (5 Disc Box Set) released locally by Umbrella. It is also available as a stand-alone disc in Region 1, but unlike both local releases, it’s 16x9 enhanced. John Carpenter: Fear is Just the Beginning Available in Region 1 as a supplement-free, stand-alone disc. It has the same format and sound mix as our Region 4. You can also find it as a bonus feature on the French Region 2 Collector’s Edition of Vampires. All three documentaries were available on a now out-of-print 3-disc Region 2 French edition titled Les Maitres de Lepouvante. No competition for this release as the Region 4 is the only way to own all three on the one disc. However, if you want to track down the best version of Master of the Macabre then go for the Region 1 release for its 16x9 enhancement. While aficionados of Argento and Bava will already have the documentaries on various Region 4 releases, the biggest selling point here is the inclusion of the Carpenter one. However, with an RRP of $30.00 it is an expensive buy for those who only want the Carpenter doco. |
