Masters of Rip-Off… Terrible Packaging!
By Captain Vegetable
I hardly ever write reviews, but I am writing in hopes that someone in power at Anchor Bay might read this. I have purchased many, galore Anchor Bay/Starz productions over the years and have always been a huge fan. But with Masters of Horror Season 2, a closely $70 box set on Amazon, I feel wholly ripped off.
Ok, not similar to the other reviewers I have no asthetic gripes with this packaging. I always take the DVDs out of wierd packaging and put them in something that fits the shelf anyway. However, I received this set yesterday, and it just made me sad. The DVDs are drifting around totally unprotected inside the “skull” which means each single one of them is scratched. A few of them are gravely scratched all over, while ALL of them have circular scratches (typically the worst kind of scratches) around the the entire outer half-inch or so of the disc. Additionally, rather of including all of the person episode discs like the last box set, a heap of of the discs are double sided with an episode on each side! Why? So the manufacturer could cut a great deal of more corners on an already horribly put together set?
I foolishly assumed that, as with the season one set, this box would incorporate someting extra that was not available in the person episode DVDs. It does not. So, if you have the person episode DVDs, I would commend sticking with those. However, if you don’t mind spending way too much cash for a pile of pre-scratched, dual-sided DVDs then this box set is the way to go. Not only do you not get anything extra, you get something far, far less for your cash this time around. Shame on you Anchor Bay. I hope every one returns these as I plan to do.

Great series, cool packaging, worth it!
By SAMIAM
Regardless of former gripes of packaging, the skull is pretty dam cool. Its a sturdy hard plastic, and as long as the discs are seated the right way in the grooves, they are fine. This is in all likelihood the only DVD box set I would display, the skull also has a heap of nice details and paint. I don’t get a great deal of of the nick picky reviews on here anyway, people just find and look for things to complain about.
Anyway, this is the long awaited boxed set of the second season of Showtime’s extraordinary horror series. Done in the style of Tales from the crypt, but with much better stories and less cheese. Some of the stories were downright gory and galore had outstanding horror style twists. A must own for any horror fan.
