Twilight Zone: Complete Definitive Collection???

I hate to ask a question about a DVD collection here, but I'm compelled due to the knowledgeable members of this site. I recently purchased a 4 CD set of music from the Twilight Zone series, the Rod Serling series. I am thinking about buying the 5 seasons that he made, but don't know where to get the best price. I found most copies for over 200 USD, but on eBay I found this price listed a few times. Can anyone give some feedback on the possible validity of this item. Thank you in advance.

I also checked the sellers other items, and the same thing is coming up. I mean, the person is asking for like $50 shipping, but still, a good deal below half the sell price of most retailers.

Wow, that sounds too good to be true. I would ask him if they're bootlegs (which will be compressed, as the originals are duallayer) and/or from another country, and if they're definitely the Definitive Editions. Looks like that particular auction is over.
For starters, I usually use the dvd price search engine. It's not definitive nor always accurate, so I still look up prices on individual sites:

What was the 4 CD Twilight Zone set you purchased drakemarone??? Just want to make sure I have it.

Words are not enough in describing the original Twilight Zone episodes.

Excellent music, excellent television all the way!

I recently took notice of this Twilight Zone Definite Collection release and I must admit it looks very tempting damn it, among a zillion other things.

As far as this eBay seller, I cannot comment on their intentions but it sure was cheap!

As a side note since we are on the topic of DVD releases, I don't know what kind of television shows some of you people cherish but if interested, the first season of the ''The Odd Couple'' has been exclusively released on Time Life and is again due for release by Paramount on April 24 which will make it more widely available of course and also, the first season to this other excellent 70's television show... ready...

''Maude'' (remember that one?) starring Beatrice Arthur will be coming out babies!...

One more time together... "M-A-U-D-E"!

Thanks, they are fantastic indeed!

If you bought the set from that seller on Ebay, please post back and let us know if they're legit dvds.
Btw, there are two episodes on the previous Image dvd TWZone collection that had isolated tracks which are NOT included in the Definitive set:

The Parallel (60min) vol. 35
The Mighty Casey (30min) vol. 41

Ok, so I got my cds for the Twilight Zone yesterday. All I can say is WOW! The music is amazing. Some of the best in my collection. This morning I placed my order for the 28 DVD Definitive Collection set of original Twilight Zone episodes by Rod Serling. I've very excited to check them out, I've never seen a single episode, but I only hear good things.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call... THE TWILIGHT ZONE!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Íot one?

Aren't you in for a treat my friend!

How much if I may ask and from what retailer?

serifiot, January 10, 2007; 6:09 PM


I got such an awesome price. As opposed to $250-$300, I found it on Barnes & Noble's website for $188 for members. That's an awesome price for such a GEM!

drakemarone, January 10, 2007; 11:33 PM


...with B&N membership of course! ;- )

Give the following movies a try...

Blind Terror aka See No Evil
The Changeling
Children Shouln't Play With Dead Things
Deathdream
Horror Express
Horror Hotel
Lisa And The Devil
Suspiria
Trilogy Of Terror

Wow, just checked the status of the Twilight DVD collection I purchased YESTERDAY, it's been delivered to my doorstep when I selected like a 3-4 day delivery service. WOOHOO!! Thank you Barnes and Noble, lol.

I have thought about checking out "Suspiria" in the past, along with "The Changeling". I've seen "Trilogy Of Terror", which was great, but none of the other ones you mentioned. I will definately check them out though. I love horror films and scary film scores.
