Gregory Horror Show - The Nightmare Begins . . . (Vol. 1) [DVD]

Shame this show never got a dvd release in the states, thankfully we have Canada right above us for that. All the episodes are in good quality, good bonus features, and still looks great.

There were some minor scratches on the plastic of the case (as seller mentioned) but, all I wanted was for the DVD to work and it did! It was in great condition, as if it was taken right out of the shelf at the store. Great job! I’m super happy with it, thank you!

Great deal for GHS fans. Knowing the obscurity of this show coupled with the asking price, i was pretty surprised when it actually arrived and was in great condition!

Gregory Horror Show is a strange kind of show; it's in the same vein as Tales From the Crypt, but also with drastically shorter episodes (roughly 2-3 minutes each) and has a single plot happening through the entire show.

I love this dvd! The characters look like they are made of folded paper to me rather than blocks. All of the characters are interesting in different and kinda creepy ways. This is not for little kids but I have three teenagers and they all love it. Each segment has a little life lesson to get you thinking.

I was introduced to this series a while ago, and I've been hooked on it ever since. The episodes are somewhat short, but it is a nice little show to watch, and is fairly addictive.

Gregory Horror Show is the story of a hotel for lost souls run by its mysterious proprietor Gregory, a misshapen rat who takes pleasure in scaring his customers out of their wits. The main character (he has no name, but he's obviously meant to represent the viewer, as you see the world through his eyes) makes his way to Gregory House in the middle of the night, and finds that checking in is easy; checking out is the hard part. If Gregory doesn't stop him, then the other guests will. And there's also the question of whether you would want to leave at all...Gregory Horror is a surreal and sometimes disturbing horror-comedy feature that challenges the viewer in every episode. Its short, almost Twilight Zoneish episodes focus on one of the guests at a time, each of which represent a different facet of the viewer's personality or world. There's the Mirror Man, who has lost his own identity and exists only to show others their true self; Cactus Gunman, who challenges the other guests to hallway duels without any idea of why they're fighting; Judgement Boy, who forces guests to make split-second decisions with either their heart or their head; and many more, totaling 48 in all. (Not all are in this first DVD, however.) The stories can be chilling one minute and hilarious the next, and your host Gregory is the thread stringing them all together. I will say that the story begins to develop and pick up in the last half of the series, which culminates in a weird, fulfilling ending that's sure to creep out and satisfy even the stingiest viewer.Gregory Horror is illustrated in a strange style. It's 3DCG, and each character has a blocky body, almost like they were made out of Legos. The backgrounds don't seem like much at the beginning, but the characters move fluidly, and this is a much more character-driven series than anything else. The different areas in Gregory House also begin to get more complex as the DVD goes on, such as Roulette Boy and Clock Master's rooms. The English dub (this is dub only) is excellent and hard to find fault with, and the music is also evocative and more than serves its purpose.The extras include promos of the GHS action figures, five episodes of the GHS series "Bloody Karte," (basically, Gregory Hospital) and some trailers for other Geneon series.In conclusion, Gregory Horror is perfect for fans of black humor, horror in general, quirky Japanese anime, the Twilight Zone/Night Gallery, or for anyone just looking to have a good and somewhat thought-provoking time.

COMPLETE waste of your skrilla, keep it in your pocket!!! You'll thank me later.

A very witty and uniquely creepy series. This is something that any horror fan should consider checking out.

I loved the game and purchased this for my own enjoyment but also for an essay. I love watching it compared to the game, and it's proved very interesting - while being mildy disturbing! It's brilliant, and I adore this anime.

かなり昔のアニメですが今も根強いファンがいます。一話数分という短い時間の中に社会に疲れた人への皮肉がたっぷり詰まっていて、現実社会に疲れた大人たちの心を擽ります。考えさせられる言葉や話もあったりして、そっと背中を押される時もありました。あっという間にグレゴリーホラーショーの世界に魅了され、疲れたときにはこの世界に浸りたくなります。個性的で、ペーパークラフトの様な可愛いキャラクターもとっても魅力的です。主人公の視界をそのまま映すカメラワークも、物語に入り込みやすくなっていて素晴らしいです。マイナーな作品、所謂『埋もれた名作』になっているのが非常に惜しい作品です。もっともっと評価されるべき、今の大人にもっと見て欲しいと思います。ゲーム化、漫画化などメディア展開に恵まれてはいましたが生産中止になった物が多く、廃れていく原因の一つとなっているので新しいメディア展開、過去の作品の復活等を強く望んでいます。

昔好きで観ていた作品と同じ原作者と知り、思いきって手を伸ばしてみました。主に主観で動くアニメで感情移入がしやすいです。またホラーテイストですが、キャラクターが可愛らしいので、怖いのが苦手な方でもわりと観やすいアニメと思われます。あとは、この1巻で1シーズンと4シーズンの一部が収録されてますので、約1時間ほどと、なかなかボリュームがあって満足しました。古いアニメーションなので、画質が粗く見えるのはご愛嬌です。

I got this for my sister in law birthday she was so happy with it she love it
