I don't actually love those mad scientist movies at all. Which is why i haven't rushed out to buy the Blu's. I have them on good quality dvd's and that's probably fine. Half of them border on crime rather than horror and it seemed the studios found them a cheap way of reusing sets and similar premises rather than coming up with something original. They were certainly being hammered by RKO when it came to quality horror at the time.
