Summary: "The bigger they the BIGGER they are"
Review: No stone was unturned when this document was made. This monster
mash originally aired on AMC's "monsterfest" a few years ago and
hosted by "Lost in space" television star Billy Mumy
This near hour long program covers all aspects of the big beast
on the movie and TV screen as well as Myth and folklore. From thier
primevil beginnings of George Miele's Trip to the moon & Lost world
to such recent nightmares as Starship troopers & Mighty Joe young. In between, movie historians,technicians and seasoned authors give their "matter of fact" views on how the giant monster films
have not only progressed thru out the years but also we the film
goers have changed from the coming of world war II thru the drive
in craze, the television invasion and so fourth. Everytime I get
to watch this disc I end up watching"Attack of the crab monsters"
or"Earth vs. the spider" right after. Peppered with endless clips
this dvd is a must for any true giant monster movie collector.

Summary: ONE OF THE BEST MONSTER COMPS!!
Review: This is an excellent DVD. If you want to see all of your favourite atomic age (and beyond) monsters in one place without sitting through the familiar plots and dialogue of the original movies, this is the place to come. A quick fix of giant insects and tarantulas, 50 ft women and astounding colossal men. Teenagers taking on gargantuan gila monsters and monster spiders, Godzilla and his Toho buddies, Harryhausen creatures.......there is a lot here in this fast-moving doco narrated by Billy Mumy and hosted by Elvira, looking as enticing as ever!!. In fact, the only problem with this disc is that it ends too quickly!! It would have been great if the 56 minute running time could have been stretched another 30 minutes with a few choice trailers but don't get me wrong....there is a lot of ground covered here with the many movie clips and short interview segments. It's so good you don't want it to end. Great picture quality, too. Trailer comps usually feature scratchy, often faded, film clips. Not so here! The pictures are sharp and clear. Do yourself a favor and buy it NOW. Me, I'm gonna watch it again.
