Query: Nowhere near as good as the video version

If you're thinking of buying this widescreen DVD to replace your pan and scan video version, take my advice. Don't bother. The sound is very low and of poor quality; the image, though clear, is very dim and the colors are pale. While in the video version, the colors are rich; the image is bright and the sound level is high and of excellent quality.In fact, the only reason for buying this DVD is to see the original trailer and the movie in their original CinemaScope format. The disc has commentary by the director, Roger Corman, the sound level of which is twice the level of that on the film and without distortion. However, film afficianados shouldn't take his reminiscences too literally. For instance, he says what a marvellous score Ronald Stein wrote for this movie, when he of all people should know that it was Les Baxter who wrote the score for The Pit and The Pendulum, not Ronald Stein.
