I agree it's INSANE when it comes to finding the Universal Classic monster films on ACTUAL film. For years I only had 1 film an original print of "The Mummy's Hand", Not that i wasn't trying. It seemed most of the prints i did find were DUPES. Terrible compared to an Original print. Then One day, I lucked out on Ebay. Bought an AMAZING pristine print original print of BRIDE OF FRANKIE, after screening it. i was HOOKED! WOW! BEATS any video format. The print was flawless, I then threw it out into the universe that I longed for all the Monster classics. Then POW! Next day, i received a call from someone who was selling his collection. he had ALL of them, except FRANKENSTEIN and MUMMY's GHOST. I worked out a deal on a monthly thing. Several months later and the price of a small foreign car, I am now missing only those two titles. Lesson is To own these gems on 16 mm, someone needs to INHERIT the films OR the owner needs to see hard times. I wonder why don't collectors let go of these titles? They do seem IMPOSSIBLE to find. BY THE WAY, I am ALSO LOOKING FOR Karloff's THRILLER episodes. Thought I'd throw it out into the Universe, hey, it worked once before!
