: My questions-
: 1. The two packs would save me cash...are these inferior in any way?
: I don't need the soundtracks, etc. for EVERY film, but want good transfers, and COMPLETE versions.
: Should I avoid the two for ones, or go for it?
The 2-packs are the same DVDs as the stand-alone editions, just packaged together.
: 2. The titles...wasn't "Phenomena"(sp?) entitled something different when I rented it oh so many years ago?
Yes, it was released by New Line in a massively edited version titled CREEPERS.
: 3. I SWEAR I rented an Argento film, or maybe an Argento-ATTACHED film called, I THINK.."The Church"..took place in an old church, was Italian, and I liked it. Was it indeed Argento, or Bava, or...??? Is it available on DVD?
Yup, THE CHURCH was produced by Dario Argento and directed by Michele Soavi (CEMETERY MAN a.k.a. DELLAMORTE, DELLAMORE)
: 4. Should I just wait for a box set, or is that impossible due to licensing, etc.?
I dunno. Knowing Anchor Bay I'm sure *SOME* new versions of these films could be released- in particular, I wouldn't be surprised if new anamorphic remasters of TENEBRAE, PHENOMENA, DEMONS, and DEMONS 2 (the first four titles in their Argento series which they released before AB was doing anamorphic transfers) were eventually released.
