After watching all the movies, adding up all the totals for their star count, and examining the entire box set, I have to recommend the Twisted Terror Collection. I must also warn you that you will find some movies in here you won’t like, but the overall collection is decent enough to warrant the purchase of this DVD set. This six pack DVD Set was released on September 25, 2007 courtesy of Warner Bros. These movies were voted on by the general public, who helped to decide what would be included in this pack.

The Twisted Terror Collection is made up of six movies. Each of these movies was made between the mid-70s and the early 90s. Here is a brief synopsis and information on each movie that is included in this six pack.
