Dracula, The Mummy and six other horror classics coming in a Bluray set

Universal Classic Monsters: The Essential Collection will arrive on shelves October 2nd, and pack eight classic horror movies, all restored so they can be seen in the highest quality possible. Among the releases is Creature from the Black Lagoon restored for Blu-ray 3D (yes, like Dial M for Murder it was originally shot and released in 3D back in 1954), as well as Dracula, Frankenstein, The Mummy, The Invisible Man, Bride of Frankenstein, The Wolf Man and Phantom of the Opera. This is all a part of the ongoing Universal centennial celebration that’s seeing its vaults unleash many of our favorites for the first time in high definition. After the break you can check out a featurette detailing the process undertaken to prep Dracula for Blu-ray release, as well as a press release with details on all of the flicks and which extras are included for each movie. Of course, the downside of a pack like this is that it’s pricey — the MSRP is $160, but it’s available for preorder on Amazon currently priced at $112.

Be an Instant Collector with This Million Dollar Videogame Collection

Are you interested in becoming a videogame collector? What if I told you that you could become one of the top collectors with just a single purchase? I’m not talking about one rare game or console. I’m talking about 22 complete sets of rare games and consoles. And then some.

22 complete sets video game auction

eBay seller collectors_king is currently auctioning off the sets as a bulk purchase. It includes complete collections of past games and hardware from Nintendo (Famicom, Super Famicom, Virtual Boy, N64, DD 64 and Gamecube), Sega (Master System, Mega Drive, Game Gear, 32X, Mega CD, Saturn and Dreamcast), PC Engine and the Pioneer Laseractive, a system only collectors could love.

Bidding for this set of sets starts at €999,999.99 (~$1.2M USD) on eBay. You can also inquire about buying just one of the complete sets, which technically still makes you an accomplished collector. As gameSniped noted, this is mainly a publicity stunt by collectors_king to attract people to his store, but I wouldn’t be surprised if someone actually buys it. Stranger things have happened.
