None
Final Thoughts
Most of these films are pretty enjoyable, with Crypt Club and Ninth Entry being the stand outs and best of the bunch, and Oculus, the worst and longest, although that wasn't too bad either. Certainly a collection of shorts worth seeing and buying. If you would like to buy this DVD, you can do so buy going to there homepage.
