How about a Sci-Fi DVD set from Universal?

Universal has given us the Legacy DVD collections of Frankenstein, Dracula, the Mummy, Invisible Man, Creature from the Black Lagoon, the Wolf Man and (more recently) Bela Lugosi and Hammer Horror. So, why not a Legacy DVD collection of Universal's sci-fi classics from the 1950s? Titles could include THE INCREDIBLE SHRINKING MAN, THIS ISLAND EARTH, TARANTULA, MOLE PEOPLE, DEADLY MANTIS, LAND UNKOWN, MONSTER ON CAMPUS, LEECH WOMAN, CULT OF THE COBRA and MONOLITH MONSTERS. (IT CAME FROM OUTER SPACE has already been given a deluxe DVD release, with some excellent extras.) I know some of these are not technically Sci-Fi, but Universal previously packaged them as their "Golden Age of Sci-Fi Collection" on VHS.

Universal just issued an excellent five film sci-fi box set which includes "The Mole People," "Tarantula," "The Monolith Monsters," "The Incredible Shrinking Man," and "Monster on the Campus." It's selling exclusively at Best Buy for the bargain price of $19.99. I just watched "Monster on the Campus" and really enjoyed it; it's a nice fullscreen presentation with the trailer as the sole extra.

"Warren Oates died for our sins"

That is a great set of old movies.

I hope Best Buy does a second series of cheesy movies.
