I did not know untill recently that several U 8 titles came out in sound in 100 foot versions, how many of the horror scifi titles can be obtained this way? and while im at it, how many U8 400 fotters are there? (Doug im looking towards you! hahaha...)

Eric,
I'm sure we've done a thread about U-8 horrors (I'll check). But in the meantime, here's what U-8 released in their great scene series:
Earthquake:
The Destruction of Los Angeles (Running time 4:33)
Jesus Christ Superstar:
The Title Production Number (4:41)
The Great Waldo Pepper:
The Dog Fight (4:53)
Airport:
The Explosion (4:47)
Frenzy:
The Rape (4:37)
Psycho:
The Complete Shower Murder (4:42)
The Bride of Frankenstein:
The Creation (4:41)
The Naughty Nineties (Abbott & Costello):
Who's on First? (4:47)

Unfortunately except for the Abbott & Costello routine (which is of course B/W), the 100 series has suffered the most from fade over the years (strange, but true!), so if you find one then make sure it's OK before buying.

I have Frenzy, Earthquake, Bride of Frankenstein and Who's On First.
Barry is right about the fade. The strange part is that U-8 figured there wasn't enough "destruction" in Earthquake to fill up 4:33 so they included the ending with Charlton Heston and Ava Gardner.

Have to say, i dont mind a good well edited 400 footer now and again but i could never see any point in the 100ft series.
Universal films to be suffering more in my collection on fade than others, those 2 x 400footer were good,
Iver films films also did the "midi" features at 3 x 400,
definatly the best size for an abridged version.
