Warner Home Video is showing that the studio is the most pro-active and progressive studio in regards to Blu-ray 3D with the stellar releases of “The Wizard of Oz” ($39.99 or five-disc collector’s set for $105.43) and “House of Wax” ($39.99).
“I already called “The Wizard of Oz” the best new family movie of the year when it premiered last month in IMAX 3D, and the Blu-ray 3D also surely deserves to be classified as at least a type of new movie because the conversion to 3D and the first Hi-Def conversion make everything look visually stunning, from the black-and-white First Act culminating with Dorothy’s home being swept inside the tornado, to the vivid yellow brick road of Oz,” reports Scott Hettrick of HollywoodinHiDef.com.
The 3D in the 1953 “House of Wax” probably never looked this convincing, effective and wthout blurring or color fading even upon its initial theatrical release 60 years ago. The Vincent Price-starring film is considered somewhat of a sci-fi classic that went beyond cult status and became one of the top 100 moneymaking films of all time, according to audio commentary during the film by David Del Valle and Constantine Nasr.

I agree with your comments. However, $40 per movie is a bit excessive in this economy. I feel they are exploiting 3D as much as promoting it. Nonetheless, it’s fantastic to have these available. I own & love the House Of Wax, and anxiously await WOZ!
Some might consider that price as a bargin for restore ageless 3D classics!
