Wow! Two 2-Disc sets from Universal (Actually 3 if you count AoD)? That's someting you rarely see anymore.

Anyways, I have never seen the Wolf Man, but I would surely blind buy it. I have only seen bits and pieces of An American Werewolf in London (Such as the famous transformation scene), but I would still buy it.

Not bad.

Why can't these studios ever keep this idea when people like 20th Century Fox are doing new covers for From Beyond? It's important to sell movies on artwork that are indicative of the eras the movies came from. This new Wolf Man cover is an excellent example. They're not trying to make it look like he's hip and scary to the Saw crowd, are they?

As for An American Werewolf In London Full Moon Edition, I don't know why, but The Universal Store has no listing. But Amazon still has a listing.
