I've been waiting a long time for this. Watching the original Creature in 3D was like watching it for the first time all over again. I don't anticipate Revenge being the same experience, I'm beyond excited to give it a spin.

I'm just glad that with the Creature and Invisible Man sets coming out I'll be able to complete my Blu-Ray collection of my beloved Universal Monsters!
Universal is releasing a Blu-ray box set with all the classic Monster films, including 5 copies of Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein. I felt like I just bought the DVD, not sure how bad I need to upgrade now.
Vinegar Syndrome also confirmed Cry Wilderness will be one of the titles on a upcoming "5 Years 5 Films" Blu-ray set.
I'm holding off on the Creature sets because apparently there was an issue with the Revenge transfer that was apparently so bad they're issuing replacements. But once all is said and done I'm sure it will look just as good as the other transfers.

Is there a signifigant improvement in quality for films like Frankenstein (1931) on Blu Ray?
Hell yeah. As far as I'm concerned a high contrast black and white film is what Blu-Ray was made for. You can also closely inspect Jack Pierce's makeup work and marvel at how good it still is!
The new Invisible Man set was put on sale for October on Amazon. I checked out the Creature set out of curiosity but it looks as if it's been recalled due to the authoring issue on Revenge of the Creature.
I don't know when it will be back up, but hopefully when it's back in stock the disc will be fixed.
