This is the last of the three DVD's that I purchased, and thus my last review. Lucky for you!
 
Just don't know where to start with this one. What we have here is a strange jumbling of clips, and pre-production stuff. Per usual the audio, and video is pretty rough on the early Kaiser years, however some is pretty darn good. You get a few Spencer and Mongolia, Ghouldini, and the best Boom, Boom ever. Really. That being said the good stuff is far, and few between.
 
The majority of this DVD is made up of the WB55 years.(2001-?) I don't know if he's still on down there in Cleveland.The majority of this is the running of the skit, and the re-running of it while showing how they set it up. Interesting for a while,but after 10-12 of them......you get the idea. Back in early 2000's I and a buddy went down to see the Ghoul as a guest bartender in some pub in a suburb of Cleveland. I can't remember the city, nor much of what had happened. I do recall that we had our picture posted up on his site for some time, and he invited us to his broadcast later that evening on his radio program. We had to decline  due to the days parting. I know, I  blew a opportunity there, and a lot of $. While I was at the bar I hooked up with some locals whom would send me the shows every month on VHS for a few bucks. After about a year I had to decline any more due to the repetitive nature.I just had the feeling that his "sidekicks"/production staff were just a little to involved and not enough Ghoul. All I'm saying is that I'm paying to see the Beatles, not friggin' Beatlemania. You get my meaning. All in all I have to be honest here, as a Ghoul Fan I would suggest passing on this one. Spend your geld on the other two DVD'S, and a Ghoul beer mug.

Good review. You should do more. I think I'll follow your advice, and pass on this one. I'm ordering the others, though. Thanks for the review.

Chiller Drive-in was excellent tonight. I enjoy the show more each week. I love when they mess with the film, like when they reversed it for a few seconds during the fight scene where Vincent Price bought it by taking a shot from a snubbie to the torso. Good movie selection. The settee is saturated.
