The quality may not be Kino or Criterion, but for only a few dollars you can purchase dvds of a ton of rare silent horror films. Alpha Video may be known for "bargain bin" cheapies, but how else are you going to score a double feature of Lon Chaney for 6 bucks? Those of you living the "virtual download" life, may see little value in owning the thing on plastic, but for the few (like myself) who have to own a hard-copy to feel like you own something, then this may be a good way for you to "mop up" some of the harder to find titles. Holy cow, just check out their "Classics of Early Cinema" set: Cabinet of Dr. Caligari/Phantom of the Opera/The Golem/Nosferatu/The Hunchback of Notre Dame/Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.....all for 10 bucks!!
