Jerry Warren Collection Vol. 2 Triple Feature

Jerry Warren possessed genius of a kind, though one might wonder WHAT kind. He said he did it because he wanted to make cheap crap that made money, though it had to be obvious he wasn't making much money. It might have been because he was inept, though what Jerry Warren did with the camera or 'Movieola' wasn't completely without flair. Or it might have been because he yearned to be a great filmmaker, as Ed Wood or Phil Tucker had. No. The trouble lay deeper than that. Warren seemed driven to impose his own demented vision upon the on the world. He wanted, I believe, to be REMEMBERED; to let it be known that HE was the one responsible for the unforgettable 'Incredible Petrified World' or 'Wild Wild World of Bat Woman.' NO OTHER INDIVIDUAL IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND could ever have impressed themselves upon the world asJERRY WARREN could, and he wanted no one - ABSOLUTELY NO ONE - to EVER forget it!! My only regret about the 2 volume set of Jerry Warren masterpieces issued by Kit Parker Films is that there are only 2 volumes. I live and breathe and pray for the day when Volumes 3 through 20 are eventually released.

First, let me say that if I was awarding stars based on the quality of these films, this collection would get a big fat zero. However, for sheer entertainment value, this collection gets....ummm, well, how about a one? But don't let that persuade you. I love to sit around with friends and laugh at the idiocy of low budget horror movies. It is a blast. And for cellar-dwelling budgets and over-the-hill actors, this collection goes beyond my wildest expectations! My favorite is House of the Black Death. Yes, it has everything, Lon Chaney, Jr. with horns and a cloven foot! John Carradine spewing never-ending lines of deranged dialogue, Belly dancers that make up their dance moves as they go along...and along...and along..zzzzzzz.... And a coven of witches that simply move about or act in whatever way the director is yelling to them from off camera. You don't hear him, but you know he's there! There's even a werewolf! Of course we only see him for a split second as he dies from......wait why did he die? Oh well. Disappearing props, the film flipped around so that right is left and left is right, and an amazing variety of plots that all seem to occur at the same time but never really get resolved. All this and much more awaits! Drink plenty of coffee so you can stay awake through this mish-mash. And try to watch all three movies. You may not be able to do it, but give it your best shot.

Don't expect Oscar worthy epics here...However, if you are a fan of truly awful, badly dubbed, patched together movies (part old Mexican horror films, part US footage for an American audience), then the Jerry Warren Collection, Volume 2 is for YOU! There is something captivating about how atrociously bad these films really are. Definitely NOT for every taste, but you can't beat it for the price!

If you like cheesy schlock movies from the 50s and 60s, like I do, this is a fun collection. They're not good movies, mind you (at least not Warren's renditions) but they're fun for fans of junk movies.

At least I knew I was getting cheated, unlike those unwatchable Mihm rippoffs!

Awesome set

horror writers have criticized jerry warren for his bad horror pictures.the reputation is well deserved.they are mostly talky with occassional burst of action.the best movie of the 4 was House of the Black death which i could give 3 stars for.It is about a family of fueding witches and werewolfs.Lon chaney is the warlock trying to steal leadership of the devil cult from John Carradine.Special effects are minimal

great movie
