OVERALL: R1
VCI release for having all episodes and the bonus cartoon.
General note: Movie serials from the 20's-50's were short adventure films that played before the feature attractions. They were played over 10-15 episodes in order to entice the audience back to the theatre the following week. Serials were known as "cliffhangers" because each episode would leave the viewer hanging in suspense, always "to be continued" until the serial's conclusion months later.
"The Phantom Creeps" is one of the series now in "public domain", so there are several DVD-releases from the "budget"-labels. Many have poor quality. -
