Silent Night, Deadly Night 3-5 DVD box set
R1 America - Lions Gate Home Entertainment
Three-Disc Set
-------
The "Notes:" sections:
The "Notes:" section is incorrect for all 3 movies. Apart from anything else, there is no such thing as "19:9 full" - clearly it was meant to be "16:9 full". But there are other errors too.
On my system, I need to switch my player to "16:9 full" to play the movies in full screeen (1.28:1 or 1.29:1). Otherwise they play zoomed and cropped, and in this mode the aspect ratios are NOT 1.66:1, but 1.71:1 or 1.72:1. But as far as I can tell, these are NOT anamorphic versions, just the same non-anamorphic ones but zoomed in, with the top and bottom cropped off. All 3 movies are slightly off centre, with a wider black bar on the right of the screen than on the left.
Also, all 3 movies are non-progressive (i.e. interlaced) transfers.

Other corrections specific to each movie:

Initiation: Silent Night, Deadly Night 4 AKA Bugs (1990)
https://www.dvdcompare.net/comparisons/ ... ?fid=15529
On this page, where it states:
DISC ONE
* Silent Night, Deadly Night III: You Better Watch Out! (89:25) (1.66:1)
the (1.66:1) should be removed, so it states:
DISC ONE
* Silent Night, Deadly Night III: You Better Watch Out! (89:25)
Picture Format: Non-Anamorphic
Aspect Ratio: 1.28:1 / zoomed cropped 1.71:1
-
Silent Night, Deadly Night 5: The Toy Maker (1991)
https://www.dvdcompare.net/comparisons/ ... ?fid=15530
Picture Format: Non-Anamorphic (ALREADY CORRECT - PRESUMABLY ACCIDENTALLY SO AFTER NOT BEING CHANGED DURING THE PREVIOUS PAGE UPDATE)
Aspect Ratio: 1.29:1 / zoomed cropped 1.72:1
-------
The aspect ratios above are measured manually by me on my TV screen, as accurately as I could. Movie 5 is a few pixels wider than the other two, hence the slightly larger aspect ratio values.

You haven't included that all 3 movies are non-progressive (i.e. interlaced) transfers.
Apart from that, everything else looks ok.
